    • About Us

      The Christchurch Girls' High School PTA would like to extend a very warm welcome to the school community.

      The PTA is active in providing a link between staff, parents and the Board of Trustees.

      While the bulk of our funds are received from your PTA donation we do organize fundraising events throughout the school year. All funds received are used to support your daughter’s school activities inside and outside the classroom. In the past funds have been used for projects like the Lunchroom upgrade, providing outdoor seating.  In addition the PTA runs the popular second-hand uniform sales.

      The PTA meets monthly and it is a great time to meet other parents and get to know them.

      We invite you to join us at our meetings and you can be assured of a very warm welcome.

      Rachel McCann PTA President,

      How we operate

      The CGHS PTA is an incorporated society and is registered with the New Zealand Companies Office. 

      In March each year the AGM (Annual General Meeting) is held where the executive officers are voted in for the current year, and the previous final financial report, along with any changes to the constitution are approved. 

      Approximately 10 meetings are held each year. 

      Committee structure     

      The key elements of the structure of the PTA association are the:

      • Constitution (governing document)
      • Members
      • Executive Committee 

      Constitution

      This is a document by which the PTA is governed and describes:

      • The aims of the association and its powers
      • Its membership
      • The size of the committee and how members are elected
      • The need for an annual review and annual general meeting

        • School Uniform Sales

          SECONDHAND UNIFORM SALES

          Thank you for continuing to support the secondhand uniform sales. The PTA sees this as a valuable service that provides good quality clothing at reasonable prices. We have a good range of sizes in all summer and winter uniforms. There are frequent sales, usually the last Monday of each month. 70% of the uniform selling price is returned to the seller with the remaining 30% used to benefit the school. Garments may also be donated.

        • Fundraising

          The PTA runs two types of activities; community activities and fundraising activities.

          Community activities primary purpose is to support the school community. PTA funds and volunteers’ time are used to run or reduce costs to individuals; e.g. Year 9 Parents Evening, Study Skill Sessions, Teacher/Parent Interviews, Dads & Daughters Breakfast.

          Fundraising activities enable the PTA to make a profit which is then used later, either to support a community activity or purchase supplies for the school; e.g. Computers and heat pumps.Activities include social events, selling products and second-hand uniforms.
