Just a reminder Knight Stream School’s annual Walka-Wheelyathon is happening this March to raise much needed funds to support our wonderful school!

The funds raised make a huge difference in enhancing the overall school environment and educational outcomes of all our students. As a continuously growing school, the funds raised will be used for a variety of projects and initiatives this year including - support to fund the new building of a playground in 2023, purchasing new games, books and classroom resources for teachers and students, as well as funding special school events and opportunities for students.

How will this fundraiser work?

This year we have partnered with online fundraising company Go Raise It. Collecting sponsorship online makes it super easy for everyone - no more door knocking, your child can collect more donations from further afiled (friends and family living overseas, work colleagues etc) and no need to worry about handling cash!

How do I sign my child up to fundraise online?

Each child can sign up for their very own fundraising web page to send out to collect online sponsorship from anyone, anywhere!

• Just go to our Fundraising Hub page at https://ksswalkawheelyathon.raiseit.co.nz/hub

• If you need any help email help@raiseitfundraising.com for direct assistance 

Multiple children in your family? 

No problem, all children can sit under the same email address. You’ll find a button to set up another page while logged in to the fundraising account you created first.

Do I have to sign up for an online account to fundraise? 

We would love everyone to have an online account as this allows the school to significantly reduce the administration overhead of collecting and dealing with cash. Go Raise It adhere to strict cyber safe guidelines and this is built into our fundraising website. If you really do not want an online fundraising page, and still want to participate please check with the school office to see if you can collect cash. 

Prizes:

We have a great range of fundraising prizes available including spot prizes and overall fundraising prizes for classes/individuals. Please see the Prizes page linked on the Fundraising Hub page of our fundraising website. 

Event Details:

We want to encourage movement for our tamariki which helps build mental and physical resilience. Whether you can walk or wheel to school, get out in the evening or weekends with your whanau or get moving during school time, we’re keen to hear some exciting stories!
