All parents attending meetings automatically become members of the PTA.

Teachers are also automatically included and other interested adults should contact the secretary direct. The AGM is normally held in March of each year.
Nominations are accepted and the executive is elected at this meeting.

All parents of boys at the school are eligible to stand.
General meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month during school term.

Each meeting a guest speaker is invited.
For example we have had speakers from Police Youth Aid, Career Services, Mental Health, DARE, Truancy Services, plus an assortment of staff and students speaking about relevant topics such as NCEA or school activities, trips and events.

These meetings also provide an opportunity for parents to raise issues or concerns directly with the headmaster.
