Parent Teacher Association

The Parent Teacher Association brings together Parents, Teachers and the wider Community to discuss, support and provide enhanced education and well-being for the pupils of Dean Park School and Nursery.

Our focus

Organising fundraising events for school projects, as well as additional resources and equipment. Facilitating a school uniform service. The uniform swap shop is well-stocked in school uniform and accessories. Providing after-school clubs that your child can join starting from P1.

Why join the PTA?

  • As a parent, you will be regularly informed of all the activities we run at school.
  • By volunteering with our events we organise you help our work and share the fun with us and other parents.
  • You can also volunteer to fill in any vacant role within the PTA and contribute with your knowledge and experience to achieve our common goal: making Dean Park a happy school for children, staff and parents.

Clubs

The PTA organise a number of clubs: Basketball, Code Club, Hockey, Football, Netball, Skiing, Ukuele & Young Engineers.


Uniform Swap Shop

The primary goal of the Uniform Swap Shop is to assist families in need by providing Dean Park Uniform free of charge. All items are quality checked and are hole and stain free.

The shop also serves the purpose of raising funds for the PTA, and as such, a suggested donation amount is associated with each item.
