PTA

Welcome to Creswick PTA 

You may have heard the usual jokes about PTAs — parents hiding in the playground in case they get asked to volunteer! But the reality is very different. 

Creswick PTA is a small, friendly group of parents and carers who volunteer their time to organise fun events for the children, bring our school community together and raise valuable funds for Creswick Academy. 

Everyone is welcome to get involved — Mums, Dads, Carers and Grandparents — and there is absolutely no pressure to commit lots of time. Whether you can help for an hour at an event, support us behind the scenes or join the committee, every bit of help makes a difference. 

What does the PTA raise money for? 

The money we raise helps provide additional experiences, resources and improvements for the children that may not otherwise be covered through the school's normal funding.  Every penny raised through our events goes back into supporting the school and our children. 

Over the years, PTA fundraising has helped to support a range of projects and activities, including: 

• Our annual Christmas pantomime for all the children 

• Funding a whole-school rock day experience 

• Renovation of the trim trail 

• New books for classrooms 

Bringing the Creswick Community Together 

Fundraising is only one part of what we do. Our events are also about bringing families together and creating enjoyable experiences and memories for the children. 

Previous PTA events have included: 

• Summer fairs 

• Firework nights 

• Easter egg hunts 

• Ice-cream Fridays 

• Colour runs 

• School discos 

• Pre-loved uniform sales 

• Seasonal events and activities 

• We are always looking for new ideas, so if you have a suggestion for an event or fundraiser, we'd love to hear it.

How Can You Get Involved? 

There are lots of ways to support the PTA, and you can give as little or as much time as suits you.  You could: 

• Join the PTA committee 

• Volunteer at one of our events 

• Help set up or clear away at our events 

• Run a stall for an hour at the summer fair 

• Help source raffle prizes or donations 

• Share ideas for future events 

• Simply attend and support our events 

We rely on volunteers to make our events possible. If lots of families were able to give even just a few hours once a year, it would allow us to run even more events and raise more money for the children and the school. 

You don't need any previous experience — just enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved!
