During the year, we run a range of fundraisers and events, to help contribute to school equipment, projects and initiatives that SNBS children take part in. The types of events we have run are:
quiz nights
children's discos
kid’s market days
the SNBS Great Spring Raffle
Hot chocolate days
Coupland's hot cross bun fundraiser
Spring bulb sales
Easter Raffle
We also run the secondhand uniform shop – the proceeds from this going to gardening projects around the school.
For information on SNBS Secondhand Uniform, head over to the dedicated Facebook page (insert link - https://www.facebook.com/SNBSsecondhanduniform/ ).
Over the last year, and thanks to the school and wider community’s support of our fundraisers, we were able to buy and contribute to the following:
musical instruments
band equipment
sand and sandpit toys
sports equipment
sports uniforms
academic and sports events
contributions to the year groups for buying new games
In recent years, and depending on the amount of funds raised, we are delighted to be able to allocate the following amounts to initiatives taking place within the school:
$10,000 to $12,000 – funding requests from SNBS staff
$ 1,000 – allocated to wellbeing projects
Our large scale fundraisers (the SNBS Great Spring Raffle & the planned SNBS Fair) raise funds for a specific project(s) in the school, determined when planning starts.
We also support the school’s discretionary fund to assist families who are are experiencing difficulty.
We would love to see you at our next meeting. Read the Snippets for details of this. Meetings are usually on a weeknight in the staffroom. New fundraising ideas are always appreciated and considered.
If you are unable to attend regular meetings you may still be able to help with running events or from home. You may be able to do things like design posters, telephoning, contacting businesses for donations, distribute fundraising items, etc.
