Another year has flown by and it's time for the PTA to sign off for 2022!
A huge THANK YOU goes out to each and every person who has supported the PTA during the year, either by attending meetings, giving up your time to help with one or many of our activities, or by purchasing items from one of our many fundraisers - lunches, eggs, hot cross buns, calendars, ice blocks, disco tickets, umbrellas, plants, yummy stickers & the Car Boot Sale! Your support has meant we have been able to fund over $10,000 for new sports uniforms, purchase sunscreen for classrooms, treat the students to a Magic Show, provide funds for parents to attend Kauri team camp, contribute to the Year 6 Leavers Breakfast, and purchase outdoor play equipment! Fantastic effort by all!
ICE BLOCKS
We will have ice blocks available to purchase at both the front and back gates this Friday 3pm, as well as next Friday - the last day of school, at 1pm!
Ice blocks will resume the first Friday back at school in Term 1. Keep hold of any concession cards you havn't used up as they don't expire.
Thank you to Jess & Ian Robinson Bayleys Manawatu who have kindly offered to continue sponsoring our ice blocks for Term 1 2023! We are so grateful for your support.
