Wheat/Heat/Cold sacks for sale lovingly made by the Junior Students. $10 for 1 or $15 for 2. They make great Grandparent gifts, and can be pulled out of the freezer for children to snuggle up to on these hot nights. Phone the office on 07 333 8350 to order.

Money raised will go towards Christmas gifts for local families through our local church.

Reporoa College Market Day:

This Friday Reporoa College is hosting a Market Day to fundraise for making a positive change around Mahi Tahi. The fundraiser includes games, bake sale, BBQ, raffles, car wash and other activities. The students are running this and met with me during the week to request permission for our children to attend between 11am and 2pm. This is another great way for us to build relationships with the college. If your child comes with a few coins on Friday, we will escort them over in groups to visit and take part in this initiative.
