Anyone who has an interest in supporting us is automatically a member of the PTA, including:

Neighbours and business leaders
Want to support our school community by raising funds or volunteering? YOU'RE a member of the PTA! We all have a role to play, and together we can create an active, inclusive community in which our children can learn and thrive.
A board of volunteer trustees who are elected after each Annual General Meeting lead the PTA. Together, trustees are responsible for the charity's governance: managing the finances; ensuring we follow relevant laws, regulations, and best practice; and overseeing our strategic direction. Trustees also support the fantastic volunteers who lead the events we host throughout the year.

She has worked as a charity executive and freelance graphic designer. Megan enjoys making spreadsheets and taking deep dives into whatever project she's working on, usually related to home renovation, international travel, or the PTA.
