PTA

About

The HNHS PTA is made up of a group of approximately 15 parents, the school principal and several members of staff. The main objective of the association is to raise funds for school projects that are not covered by the Ministry of Education. 

The PTA can also be used as a sounding board for the administration of the school. Advice and opinion are often sought from the committee about matters of interest or concern to the management and governance of the school. Involvement in the PTA is a great chance to have more knowledge about and involvement in the activities of the school.
