Recent Fundraising Projects

The biggest focus of the PTA and our helpers is the fundraising and funding of the School’s ‘wish list’. The School’s wish list is put together by requests from teachers which are then prioritised by the School Principal. We feel it’s really important to show you, our community, what we are fundraising for and therefore we always want to communicate fundraising targets before and after events. The School’s wish list contains large and small budget $$ items, and can be: educational; related to school facilities; social; cultural; or help parents in some way.

In the past four years, the PTA has worked diligently to raise funds for the replacement of the junior school playground. Despite it being a massive undertaking, the PTA successfully donated $108,000 towards this project. The Ministry of Education and Board of Trustees will be contributing the remaining funds. Currently, the construction of the new playground is pending due to other construction work taking place on the site. We eagerly anticipate the completion of this project, which will provide a safe and enjoyable space for the junior school children.
 
Our current fundraising project is for the construction of a Loose Parts Playshed. The concept of loose parts play uses everyday objects to allow children to expand their imagination, boost creativity and problem-solving skills and supports inclusion and social interaction. We are installing a shed that will ignite adventure, inspire learning and imagination and create joy and excitement for all our current and future students through play.
