Frequently asked questions

Can I hire the hall or other facilities out of school hours? School facilities are hired out to external groups to hold activities for children in the community. Please contact Sandra Jelicich on Phone: (09) 631 1191 or Email: sandras@mteden.school.nz, for details.

How can I get more involved and help at school? Partnership between parents and school is key to children's learning. There are many ways you can get involved, from helping in the classroom, the Information Centre, attending school trips and events, coaching/managing sports teams and participating in the PTA to name but a few. Parent participation in the MENPS school programme is actively encouraged. Please let us know if you would like to offer your help in any way. PTA contact information is included in the 'Our People' section of this site.
