Friends of Mahu is a group of parents that support our college, we feel proud of our college and know we play an important part in Our Place. We encompass the group of parents and caregivers that get involved in the many facets of school life and strive to help make a difference to the students at Mahurangi College. This includes coaching sports teams, helping on school trips and events, helping with school productions and stage challenge, fundraising, being a reader/writer etc.
A smaller group of parents and staff form the core of Friends of Mahu, and are responsible for some of the co-ordinating involved when undertaking events and fundraising. We try to have a fairly relaxed approach, with a broad focus and not too many formal meetings.
