LOST PROPERTY
We encourage students (and parents) to check the bin if you currently have missing items.
COLLEGE FUNDRAISER
An adventure town deserves an adventure playground at school.
Quality, well designed playgrounds mean students who are physically and mentally healthier, with minds prepared for learning.
Help 'Parents and Friends of MAC' raise funds for a new adventure playground for students. If every student contributed $67, there could be a new adventure playground available next year! We know that’s not possible for all, so we’ll be fundraising and applying for grants. Please help if you can - either by visiting our "Givealittle" page https://givealittle.co.nz/org/mount-aspiring-college, or parents of the school - please select the link below which will take you directly to the myKindo site. All payments generate an automatic receipt.
If you would like to donate directly to the school bank account: Westpac, Wanaka, MAC Board of Trustees 03-1739-0027820-00 Ref: playground.
If you are interested in getting involved with 'Parents and Friends of MAC', please register your details in the form linked on our website.
