Meet your PTA
Bringing people together. Making good things happen.
We're a bunch of Mt Albert Primary parents who care about our school and the community around it.
From school discos and Frosty Fridays to big fundraising projects, we're all about bringing people together, creating great experiences for our tamariki and making good things happen at MAPS.
We believe being part of the PTA should be fun, not another job, so we keep things relaxed and flexible. Think Zoom catch-ups in your PJs after the kids are in bed, with the occasional after-hours catch-up in Morningside.
Whether you've got an idea, a skill to share or just a little time to spare, there's a place for you.
Keen to get involved? Email pta@maps.school.nz.
Follow us on Facebook to keep up with the latest PTA news, events and ways to help.

The MAPS Carnival is powered by our amazing school community, and we'd love your help to make it a day to remember!

Making a Splash for MAPS!
A pool for our school. A place for our community.
Big dreams are taking shape at MAPS! We're fundraising to build a school swimming pool where tamariki can learn water safety skills, grow their confidence and enjoy swimming close to home.
More than just a pool, we want to create a space that brings our school community together for generations to come.
Our school and PTA have a plan, and together we're working to bring it to life.
Help us make a splash!
Interested in donating, sponsoring or supporting the project? We'd love to hear from you. Email board@maps.school.nz.
