Pine Cone Collecting

PTA —

Another winter season is fast approaching and we are looking to raise funds through the collection and sale of pinecones to the local community again.

The feedback of families who took part last year was positive and enjoyed collecting pinecones. Every little contribution helps to make our school a better place for our Tamariki. Take your family out for a little adventure and enjoy the last days of warmer weather. We hope for bigger sales this year as the word is out already!

Pinecones can be collected at Bottle Lake Forest, McLeans Island and Pines Beach for example, pretty much anywhere you see large pine trees.

Fill in the survey for your child to receive a sack, or collect from the office. 

Filled sacks can be bought back to school and placed near the wooden gate (by the bike cage).

You can also pre-order to buy bags of pinecones for $5 each. Ask around your neighbours, friends and family, then fill in the survey.
