Who are The PTA?
We are a group of parents who volunteer to help and support the school with various fundraising and social events. We aim to promote and encourage a close relationship between home, school and community. Every parent/caregiver at BBS is eligible to be part of our PTA.
What does the PTA do?
The PTA team is a group of volunteer parents/caregivers who meet each month and develop opportunities to:
• Support & enhance our children’s school experience and environment through events and resources.
• Provide a voice for parents.
• Connect parents with each other, the School Board, teachers and school management.
• Fund-raise
The PTA host a range of fun, engaging fundraising activities that create an exciting environment for our kids and unify our school community. In 2026 these events may include:
- Secondhand Uniform Sale
- Disco or Family Movie Night (Term 2 & 4)
- An -A-Thon (Term 2/3)
- School Christmas Jingle event (Term 4)
Fundraising
Each year we fund raise for BBS Outdoor Education Days, School Camps, Year 6 Graduation and other special projects required by the school.
How Can You help?
Investing time in your child’s school life is hugely rewarding so come and get amongst it with the PTA! A few hours of your time over the course of a year makes a huge difference. Join in at our PTA meetings or volunteer your time to help out at an upcoming fundraising event. Meetings are usually held monthly and are announced through the school newsletter and Facebook. Begin the journey of learning more about your school, meeting other parents and forging new friendships.
PTA Committee
The PTA is made up of a group of parents/caregivers who come together as the Executive Committee, Extended Committee and Helpers. Every year in March, the PTA holds its Annual General Meeting (A.G.M) where the Executive Committee office holders are elected.
