Introducing the Greenhithe School PTA

The Greenhithe School PTA is a group of parents and teachers who work together to support our school community. Our main focus is fundraising for additional resources that benefit all students, from playground upgrades and sports equipment to classroom materials and other projects identified by the school and Board.

We meet once a month on a Tuesday at 7pm and provide a friendly space to connect with other parents, share ideas, and discuss upcoming events and initiatives. You can be as involved as you like, attend meetings, help at events, or simply stay connected.

How much time does it take?
Even a small amount of time helps! Whether you can make meetings or just lend a hand at the occasional event, every bit of support makes a difference.
If you’d like to join our 2026 WhatsApp group, email us at [email protected], or stay updated via facebook.com/GreenhitheSchoolPTA.

Thanks,

Sjaan and the Greenhithe PTA team

Rugby Skills Holiday Camp

The sessions will focus on the fundamentals of the game including passing, catching, tackling technique, footwork, and overall game confidence through engaging drills and small-sided games.

I captained the Westlake Boys First XV last year and have experience competing at regional and national level. Jacob is an outstanding leader and Academy of Sport athlete, and together we are passionate about helping younger players develop their skills and love for rugby.

The camp sessions will run during the school holidays:

• Wednesday 15 April — 9:00am–12:00pm
• Thursday 16 April — 1:00pm–4:00pm

Spots are limited to 50 players per session to ensure quality coaching and individual attention.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could share the registration link in your school newsletter or pass it along to parents who may be interested.
