The “Huff ‘n Puff” will be Sunnyhills School very own house fun run.  Students will run/walk laps in year groups and each lap will be counted towards their sponsorship - each student will run a minimum of 5 laps of approximately 100m and upon completion will receive a house coloured wristband.  It is expected that students can run a lap per year of their age.

There will be a whole school Chromebook prize draw, plus 21 spot prizes - 7 each for Junior, Middle and Senior Syndicates – every $10 raised will give your child one entry into the draw.  
The ‘live’ draw will be at our week 8 Whole School Assembly on the 1st December.

Teacher & Parent Relay Team: There will be a parent and teacher relay team completing laps for sponsorship donations.  If you would like to make a donation to this relay team you are able to do so online at school online shop, there are options of $2 for 1 lap or $5 for 3 laps.

Calendar Art 2017 - PTA fundraiser



This year the PTA are doing this fundraiser differently from previous years with the introduction of the School Arts Week and new online ordering for parents.

Classes are currently creating the artwork for the calendars ready for Arts week. Thank you to our amazing teachers for their creativity and support with this.


We are asking teachers to display the artwork calendars in their classrooms so that parents have the opportunity to view during the 3 Way Learning Conferences on the 5th & 6th July.  

We will then send all the artwork to Abacus who will process the images and put online.  

Customised order forms will be sent home in term 3 with students and parents will be able to order online - there is the option to purchase premium or classic calendars, kids notepads, diaries, cards and mousepads using either students artwork or a photo that can be uploaded.

Thank you in advance for your support for the PTA Calendar Art fundraiser in 2017.
