Hataitai School Parents' Group

The Hataitai School Fair "March Madness" is on Sunday 1 March, 2020, 10am-1pm. LIKE this page to st What is the purpose of the group? Who are we? Lots of fun!

The Hataitai School Parents’ Group (HSPG) works with the school Board of Trustees and teachers to maintain and develop the interests and welfare of the School and foster the school’s links with its community. HSPG aims to provide the School with amenities and equipment, and promote a positive and friendly school community of parents, friends, students and staff. We're a group of parents with child

ren at Hataitai School who are keen to help out the school and plan fun events for the school and wider community. HSPG acts as the umbrella group for a number of parent groups that support the school including:
The Fundraising group;
Our Place/Your Place - responsible for gardens and the school environment;
Liaison with school sports groups. New members are welcome to join the group for as long as they would like to participate! One of the great things about having new members is the potential for sharing new ideas, we are open to all suggestions! How do we function? We generally aim to meet once a term, as we usually have one event per term. A lot of correspondence is online. People are free to opt in or out of each activity in response to their availability and interests. HSPG also aims to involve other members of the school and wider community to help run or support the running of events. So even if you decide not to join the group – we’d still love your support with an event or activity during the year. What kind of events / activities do we usually do? We always work with the school to plan a range of events focusing on families, fundraising and parent fun. Such as:
School Fair - our major fundraiser is held every 2 years, the next one will be 2022
A fun night of entertainment for the adults - e.g. Great Gatsby, Bavarian Beer Garden nights held previously. Matariki (June) - a family gathering to celebrate Maori New Year - a really fun evening with food, mini-concert/talks and treasure hunts
Yummy Fruit Promotion - collect Yummy stickers and cut-out labels (all year round!) and we'll get some free sports gear
Mapathon - (Term 3) - improving the children's geography knowlege in a fun way! This was really popular. Calendar Art - your child's artwork turned into calendars, diaries, note cards and notebooks - a fabulous gift for family, with the school raising money at the same time (Term 4)
Family Gathering & End of Year Celebration (December) - grab some takeaways, bring a picnic or buy some yummy food at the school and join in the singing

Who decides where the money is spent? The HSPG work closely with the Principal and the Board of Trustees to set a school wishlist. These items are evaluated against a set of criteria, with higher importance being given to those items which are of educational benefit or will enhance the overall school environment, as well as those which will benefit the school on an ongoing basis. For example, in 2018 we helped fund the Junior Playground. As always, we need the support of the Hataitai community. We are fortunate to have a talented and energetic community, so if you have any time, products, services, or ideas you can contribute, please email [email protected]

The Hataitai School Parent's Group (HSPG) wants to give a huge thank you to the parent community for their support of the Hataitai School Fair. Together we have raised just over $20,000 for our school!

We had so much support from the businesses of Hataitai and wider Wellington, with all of their donations to our auctions, raffles, sausage sizzles, tea room, and more. We have also had so many generous sponsors towards the costs that we incurred in putting on this fundraiser.

Please take a moment to look at our Thank You Poster, and support these generous businesses where you can. We want to give a special thank you to Tommy's for their amazing sponsorship of our Games Extravaganza!
