Fantastic Fundraising

The effort and enthusiasm from students has been fantastic and we’ve had a great start to our big fundraiser for the year, as we were unable to hold a Gala Day.

Can your child come up with ideas to help them fundraise - chores, helping a neighbour in the garden, and I am sure there are many more ideas they can think of.

Please keep sharing your child's link

Go to schoolfunrun.co.nz, share your online fundraising link via SMS, Email and Social Media. If someone would like to sponsor your child and give them cash, they can do this.  Please take the money to the office, with your child's name and room number and we will be able to add the amount to their profile.

THANK YOU! For the support we have received from everyone.  It isn’t too late to make a profile for your child if you haven’t done one yet.

October 21 2022

Get behind the school and help us reach our goal.  This is replacing the Gala Day this year.  Your child will bring home a booklet and newsletter.

How Does My Child Fundraise?

Firstly, go to schoolfunrun.co.nz and create a student profile page. Everything to do with your fundraising revolves around this page. Share the page with family and friends (Facebook, Email or text) and let the fundraising begin.  The children can offer to do a chore, help in some way to exchange for sponsorship.  The children can have fun watching their page evolve, collect stickers, earn badges and see the leaderboard.

Students who raise just $10 will be able to choose a prize! The more they raise, the better their reward – you will find the full range in your sponsorship form. 

WIN  JUICY’S FOR THE CLASS

The class who has the most profiles by Friday 16th will receive Juicy’s.  

Winners will have the Juicy’s delivered to their class on Monday.

We are not selling tickets to our school show through the office this year. Tickets can be bought online from Eventbrite from tomorrow. There is only a certain number of tickets for each show so once they are sold that is it. The price is $6.67, a funny price because we have to add GST and  Eventbrite’s commission on top of the $5.00 we charge.

Play Provocations

Our focus changes for the next two weeks to Digital technology. The children will be giving instructions to a partner to follow a series of steps combined with real life scenarios.

Recycling

Please keep the recycling materials coming into school.  It is amazing to see the different things that can be made from cardboard boxes, bottle tops and other recycling materials.
