Home and School Bulletin

Home and School —

Find out what our PTA has accomplished this year and what is planned.

The Home & School is a group of fabulous parents working together to raise funds to help upgrade school equipment, Chatbus, school camps, sport uniforms and whatever the school needs to give our children the best education possible. 

After our last meeting we made the donation of $2000 towards our schools Year 5 & 6 camps, which was greatly appreciated by Mrs Brown and her team.  Every Friday we have sausages for sale for $2 which all of the proceeds go towards our camps. If you are able to assist with cooking our sausages that would be greatly appreciated.  It only takes around 1 hour to cook and distribute the sausages. The money raised is helping us keep cost of our camps affordable for families and also assist in keeping our tents, air rifles, archery targets, bows and arrows and bed rolls upgraded.  The Year 6 camp costs approximately $280 for each child, with the cost being only $110 for families this year.

Home and School received cards from two Year 6 students letting us know how much they appreciated our help in raising funds for the camps [see photos].

If anyone has an old BBQ still in good working order and would like to donate to the school that would be greatly appreciated.  

The Home and School meet once a month on a Wednesday from 7pm.  We always welcome new faces and new fundraising ideas.  If you would like to come along to one of our meetings to see what we do and even bring a friend, more the merrier. 

Thank you for your on going support and any queries please email homeandschool@wakari.school.nz
