Parent Teacher Association
We wish to welcome you and your child to Pigeon Mountain School. Our aim is to assist the school by raising additional funds and co-ordinating a variety of school services, and social activities. To enable us to provide these services additional help is required by other parents. We hope that by reading the following information you will feel more comfortable about volunteering to help. As a "Parent Teacher Association" member or helper much can be gained from the fun and social atmosphere generated by working together for our school community.

Should you wish to know more about joining the "Parent Teacher Association" or for general enquiries regarding our activities, please fill out the form below, or contact the school office.

"Parent Teacher Association" Meetings
"Parent Teacher Association" meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of every month, in the school staff room from 7:30pm. A committee is elected at the first meeting in March where everyone votes for a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary. The meetings do follow a set protocol to enable them to run smoothly but are generally relaxed and informal, with everyone's comments being welcome. Non-members are most welcome to attend a meeting, but will be unable to vote on any issues discussed. Being part of the "Parent Teacher Association" and coming to the meetings is a great way of getting to know more about the school and upcoming activities.

"Helpers"
Fundraising is when we raise money to help with purchasing resources for the school. This can range from videos, books, sports uniforms, drinking fountains, art supplies etc. A group of parents meet once a term to decide what activities will be held. In the past we have held Discos, cake stalls, ice-skating and many other fun ideas. Helpers are required to organise these activities and to assist on the day of the event. Anyone can help with fundraising; the more parents involved the less time spent. Take fun out of the word 'fundraising' and there is our motto - having fun while raising money for our children and their education.

Road Patrol
Road patrol requires you to supervise the crossing on Loloma Drive. This involves meeting the Road Patrol children at the Caretakers Enclosure, near the School Hall at 8:20am to be on duty at 8:25am. The Supervisor and the Road Patrol children are to remain on duty until 8:55am. The Supervisor is to stand on the side of the road from where the children are crossing. Should any traffic infringement occur details go into a notebook. Infringements are explained to all volunteers before hand. Should there be an offence a form is completed in the school office and faxed to the Police - Traffic Dept who take further action. A roster is typed up and the road patrol supervisors are on duty once in every 4 to 5 weeks for 1/2/ hour.

I am interested in joining the "Parent Teacher Association" or having further information. (Meetings on 2nd Wednesday of each month - 7:30pm
