WINNERS
Colouring CompetitionWe put a call out to budding artists to colour in a special Fair notice and we got some fantastic entries back. In fact it was really hard to choose the winners. In the end we picked James, who did a fantastic job of colouring in, especially as he is only 5. We hope he enjoys the Shizoku Karate voucher for 1 months worth of lessons. And we were able to choose another five lucky winners too. WINNERS
Volunteer prizesFinally, as a way to thank our wonderful volunteers, we gave away a few treats and goodies to six people who we drew out of a hat from all the people that helped on the night. Thanks guys!
Here are the six lucky winners: Jane Ryder Foskett, Clint Park, Sharlene Nash, Phil Jamieson, Claire Coetzee & Emily Flavell Thanks Happyhire!!27/11/2018 We're absolutely stoked to let you know that we won the Facebook competition to try out Happyhire's brand new 20 metre long obstacle course at our Fair. This is going to be brilliant, the kids (and some of the adults) are absolutely going to LOVE it.
Remember this and ALL activities at the Fair will only cost $2 - and you will get 3 goes at this one! What a bargain. See you on Friday! Two Weeks to go!!15/11/2018 So excited for our first-ever Rawhiti School Twilight Fair, being held from 4-8pm on 30 November at our lovely school grounds on Leaver Terrace. If you're not sure where that is, just follow the map below. The Fair itself will be a good 'old-fashioned' school fair in which we are doing everything ourselves, with no outside vendors at all. There will still be lots to buy with all items being made by school kids themselves, and bouncy castles, pony rides, car rides and more you know it's going to be a fun night.

This is a massive undertaking that is involving pretty much EVERYONE connected to Rawhiti School from the new entrants to the senior students, the teachers, the office staff and all the parents and whanau.
We made the decision early on not to have ANY outside vendors at our school fair as we wanted to run everything ourselves in order to really keep costs down for our guests on the night. We will be making all the food, all the crafts and running all the games. And when I say 'we' I mean the kids too. But we really wanted to be able to offer rewards and prizes to our kids for all the hard work they will be doing - whether it's a chance to win a lollipop or the chance to win a $50 book voucher. And this is where business support comes in. Already (as of 12 September) we have have received a large amount of prizes and cash sponsorship from a lot of truly wonderful businesses.

There will be kindness rocks to view, a whole school dance routine (!) and of course it's superhero mufti day too!

We LOVE VOLUNTEERS21/9/2017 Volunteers are the best, aren't they? We would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time and services to making Boogie Wonderland such a success. Instead of naming everyone here I would like highlight all the many, many tasks that were undertaken by our wonderful team of volunteers. All these jobs completed - pat yourself on the back please!
(And if you look carefully you might find a surprising task hidden in there...) Boogie Wonderland was a blast!17/9/2017
Thanks to the D'N'D SHowband

The amazing D'n'D Showband will be bringing ALL the hit from the 1970s and will be doing not just one, but two, full costume tribute acts for us - Disco AND Abba. And did I mention beautiful curly parsley adorning a plate of asparagus rolls or hot sausage rolls from the oven? And did I mention the chocolate wheel?

You can order your $20 tickets here right now. Remember all funds will be going towards our 2017 goal of contributing towards new playgrounds at Rawhiti School. It's worth it. |
