The band made up of students Jackson Norris (Year 10), Jackson Mackwood (Year 11), Asher Downing (Year 10) and William Mollard (Year 11) placed sixth at the national finals. Great job men.

It included a monster garage sale, a talent quest, a concert by our top musicians along with food and activities for the children. The gala raised $9,000 for our ‘Over the Fence Ministry’ – St Paul’s service programme where students spend lunchtimes helping at Bankwood and Fairfield Primary schools.

Last week students from Fairfield and Bankwood schools were invited to St Paul’s for morning tea so we could give them the money we had raised. They told us this money will be used to ensure all students can attend their school camps.

Thank you Pak n Save Kaitaia for your sponsorship of our 2020 gala to enable us to reach our fundraising target.
