Thanks for those who attended the PTA AGM on Tuesday night. We reflected on the 2024 financial year and it was revealed that we had a record income of over $47,000 which was a testament to our community’s support for this school. Donations to the school were $35,000. We were in a strong financial position to start this year. In the annual election of officers and Sharyn and myself retain the positions of Treasurer & Chairperson (unopposed) and due to Sonay’s resignation as Secretary, Shannon Belosevic was voted in for that position. Thank you Sonay for doing that job for the last two years.
The Golf Day last Sunday was another success, thank you to all to all the sponsors, participants, auction winners (especially Joe Olliver ) and to the Hukanui Golf Club themselves.
Coming up this Saturday (22nd) we have two stalls at the Puketaha Community Hall’s Market Day and need some helpers for this. We will be selling books and bric-a brac items. Donations welcome. Remember that we have very limited storage space at school so items can be dropped off on the day at 8.30am at the hall at set-up. Please let me know if you are available to help out. The market runs from 10am-2pm.
Next Wednesday (26th) we have the Colour Run. This is our major event for the year and sponsorship donations so far have been amazing. If there are willing helpers for this we have at least one sponsor who can’t be there to throw the colour so we will need helpers for set up and cleanup so if you could help at all with this let me know also. Please remember your children will be wet and covered in paint powder. Please bring a change of clothes for the car ride home, and maybe a sheet/towel for them to sit on in the car. Also as much as we try to avoid throwing paint near the face it may pay to have a pair of goggles or sunglasses to avoid powder in the eyes. The children are getting very excited. A reminder that all kids are invited to participate and it would be good to wear white or light coloured clothing.
Many thanks to our Colour Run Sponsors: Hamilton Fencing; Westpac; Hamilton Industrial Powder Coating; Pool Clean; The Moment Catchers; Lawn Solutions; Anything Communications Ltd & Safeguard Self Storage.
Kind regards,
Merynn Connors
