Welcome to your Mary Peake PTA website. The PTA is committed to supporting the education and well being of every student. We aim to assist the administration, the teachers, the staff, the parents and especially the children in their daily pursuit of knowledge. Through our Cultural Arts program our children are introduced to art, music, theatre, and motivational speakers. Our evening PTA programs are held in an effort to foster a sense of community within our school, and to incorporate education and information in a fun and comfortable atmosphere. Our meetings are held on the last Monday of each month unless otherwise stated.
