PTA NEWS

Parent Teacher Association at Halswell School —

Market Day

Fantastic day for everyone. Many thanks to all those who helped on the day, dropped off baking, supported our raffle and generally contributed in some way. $3,607 was raised for the school.

PTA Calendar Fundraiser

THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for supporting our calendar fundraiser. This year we have raised over $4,500, which is fabulous. Everyone who ordered should have received their products by now so please let us know if this is not the case. A big thank you to Jackie Hill who has helped every year for last four years with the calendars, but who will be moving on next year as her youngest heads to high school. The calendar art makes a great fundraiser and the kids love seeing their artwork turned into Christmas presents so if you are able to help out in 2018 with this, please email the PTA.

Service Your Car and Help the School

COCKRAM MOTORS is offering Halswell School parents, teachers, family and friends an exclusive opportunity to service their vehicle at a special discount rate of $150 inc GST, with $10 from every service given back to Halswell school. See the attached flyer for more details.

Cookbooks

The final copies of the Halswell School Cookbook, Acorns & Daffodils, are on sale for the special price of $10. The cookbook is filled with fabulous recipes from the school community and make great Christmas presents. To date the Cookbook Committee has funded the Year 7/8 playground, refurbished the old school bell, which will be ready soon, and is working on history boards for the school, which has stood on this site for over 150 years. If you are new to the school, don't miss the opportunity to buy a cookbook before they are all sold out. See the flyer in this newsletter.

Next PTA meeting will be held on Tuesday 28 November at 7pm in the Staff Lounge. All welcome.
