We made $30,292!!!!
We did it... We raised over $30,000 towards an AstroTurf for the Junior Playground.
Prizes for the top fundraisers and the winners of Challenge Day will be announced at the Cultural Event this Wednesday.
We had a fierce competition for the top class, and it came down to a final donation just 4 minutes before 12 pm, which led to a last-minute change in the leaderboard. The results are as follows:
1st - Room 10 - $3,078
2nd - Room 12 - $3,055
Both classes did an amazing job and will be rewarded with a PIZZA LUNCH and a movie afternoon with Mr. Dawson.
Thank you to everyone who got involved. If all goes according to plan, we will start work on this project in January 2024.

There are some great individual prizes still to be won, and the top two classes will get a pizza lunch and a movie afternoon with Mr. Dawson.
The closing date for fundraising to finish is Monday, September 18th, at 12 noon. We will then see who our top fundraisers are and which class is leading.

ATHON - Last Week!
We have already surpassed $25,000! Can we reach $30,000? It's so exciting to see this incredible amount raised for the installation of astro turf around the junior playground.
It's the last week, and we have a fantastic array of prizes provided by some of our incredible sponsors, which you can find listed at the bottom of the fundraiser page:
CHALLENGE DAY is this Friday! It's what it's all about – the 'KNOW OUR WORLD ATHON.'
Thank you for all your support, and good luck in the prize draw this Wednesday for a $100 Orewa Thai Voucher, sponsored by 'YOU TRAVEL OREWA,' if students sign up by Wednesday, September 13th, and have at least $50 in donations.

Athon Challenge Day 15th Sep
WELL DONE! We have made over $20,000 and continue to climb. Every bit helps, as it means it's less we have to get from grants, etc., to make up the final total. THIS IS INCREDIBLE!
We had some lucky winners for the big Friday draws with 2 Rebel Sport vouchers and a $50 TOYWORLD voucher given away.
This week, if a student has one or more donations, they could win Wireless Headphones.
Challenge Day on 15th Sep - What will it look like???
Year 1 and 2 - will have a page of names and flags which they will draw lines to match them up.
Year 3 and 4 - Will do an online Kahoot with multiple-choice and true/false questions. For example: "If you were in Japan, would you greet someone by saying Tālofa?" True/False.
Year 5 and 6 - Will do an online Kahoot as well, but their questions will be a little more tricky. For example: There could be a map with a country with an arrow pointing to it and multiple-choice asking what country this is. All questions will be from the study book.
Should be a lot of fun, and there are some great prizes for those who do especially well.

Exciting Announcement from the Community Committee
- Our Junior Playground is getting a Refresh!
Now that we're up to date with essential costs, we're excited to inform you we will be giving the junior playground a refresh! A project is in place to have the ground games repainted on the courts outside the junior classrooms, re-staining of the wooden aspects of the playground, paint the "surf club hut" and brighten up the monkey bars. We will also be contributing towards having the area around the junior play area astro-turfed in due course.
