Parents' Action Group
The Parents' Action Group (PAG) is a group of parents working together to support our school and to strengthen our school community. It is open to all parents of students at “Springs” and new members are always very welcome. It is also a great way to keep in touch with other parents and what’s happening at school.
Join the PAG email list for reminders, information about the school, and a copy of the monthly meeting minutes.
Contact PAG by emailing pag@westernsprings.school.nz
PAG Meetings
The PAG meets once a month, normally on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm in the school staff room, to plan our activities. Dates may change to fit around school holidays and other events. Meetings are very informal and are attended by a Board of Trustees representative and a member of the school management team, so we have first-hand knowledge of what’s happening at school. Meetings are a great forum for discussion and we welcome anyone who has a specific issue they’d like to talk about with other parents.

| Fundraising
Fundraising by PAG has brought in over $100,000 over the past five years. The funds are used for a wide range of improvements to school facilities and to support student activities. In 2008 this included funds for a new fridge for the school cafeteria, a new school sports van, and curtains for the school hall stage. Our focus in 2009 is upgrading the outdoor area around the cafeteria.
Welcome New Parents and Students
PAG welcomes new parents and students to the school in the first few weeks of school at an informal barbecue where parents, students and teachers mingle, and the principal Ken Havill speaks.
Events
Other events organized by PAG include a quiz night, a school family picnic, and information seminars on parenting teenagers.
