Another successful Quiz Night

7/8/2019

 
Thanks to all our quiz teams who came along on Saturday night to support us. We had a fantastic night and we were able to raise nearly $5000 which was a brilliant result for one night!

We do have to acknowledge our lovely business sponsors who donated prizes for the raffles and also food items for the delicious platters put together by Switch New Brighton. How lucky are we to have such a great community supporting our efforts. Thank you!

THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTERS of our quiz

We had another successful fundraising quiz night on Sunday night with a great number of raffle and auction prizes up for offer. This is due to the great support we've had from local businesses in New Brighton and throughout Christchurch. Your support really does make a difference to us.

Boogie Wonderland was a blast!

17/9/2017

The glitter was everywhere, the lights were pulsing and the beats were funky. 
Our Boogie Wonderland 70s Night was a total blast from the past and our 200 guests all had a great time.
We had prizes for best costumes and best moves on the dancefloor and our 1970s smorgasboard supper was extremely popular. Who doesn't like an asparagus roll? 

Thanks to the D'N'D SHowband

We need to acknowledge the amazing DnD Showband who provided a phenomenal show for us on Saturday night. They performed three sets of the best music from the 1970s, including ABBA, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac, Sister Sledge, Village People and much much more. And each with full costume changes. You MADE the night, thank you so much!!
(PS. Be sure to go to their Facebook page and follow them to see when their next gig is on.)

​The PTA committee kicked off the fun by doing a funky dance number to the Jackson Five's Blame it on the Boogie. 
Check it out in the video on the left. 

Family Fun Night - fun for all ages!

13/4/2017

 
The Court Jesters from the Court Theatre put on a great, laughter-filled show for us to enjoy last night to liven up a wet and cold evening. With hot food (our famous nachos and sausage sizzle) from 5pm, a photo booth to remember the night and lots of fun and games to try it was a successful and fun way to end the term. 

Selling Nachos at the Coast to Coast

12/2/2017

 
Rawhiti School and the PTA were given the opportunity to sell food at the Kathmandu Coast to Coast finish line at New Brighton beach. After a mammoth task organising the menu, volunteers, cooking up a storm and getting together all the necessary equipment we got there. And what an event it was. A brilliant day was had by all and we were able to start raising money for new playground equipment for the junior students at the school.

About the Black Velvet Band

In the early 90's Christchurch musician Ian Costello formed The Black Velvet Band at The Loft Bar in Gloucester St, and so began an musical institution that over the years has steered its way through various evolutions.
Often cited as being New Zealand's greatest influence on the folk rock revival, The Black Velvet Band embraces traditional and contemporary songs, original compositions and fresh interpretations of old favourites.

Kindling Sales - keep warm and cosy

10/6/2016

 
The PTA has got together with the Senior students to bag up a truck-load of kindling (literally). Between us all we got stuck in and bagged more than 300 bags of kindling to sell at $6.50 for a fundraiser. The profits of this will be split 50/50 between the PTA and the Senior Students. 

School Garage Sale was a Huge Success

Thanks to everyone who showed up to buy the old school furniture and special thanks to all the volunteers who helped out on the day. What great fun we had and the stuff was flying out the door.
All funds raised will be going straight back to the school.
