i Spy: Kiwiana




This term the PTA are excited to be holding the

i Spy: Kiwiana fundraiser. 

“i SPY” Kiwiana will increase student general New Zealand knowledge and will lead into the schools next learning topic ~ One Land, Many Cultures.   

Junior students will learn up to 10 facts, Middle students will learn up to 20 facts and Senior students will learn up to 30 facts.  There is also an extra for experts for those learners that are eager to go beyond.

Start collecting sponsors for the major PTA fundraising event - I Spy: Kiwiana and helping your child to learn their facts at bit.ly/ptakiwiana .  

All funds will go towards upgrading the school pool complex so it is ready for summer to be used by our community (salt water conversion, toilet & change facility, seating, fencing).

Mother's Day Thank you's








We hope that all our Sunnyhills mother's had a wonderful day yesterday with their families.

Thank you to all of our community who supported the PTA's Mother's Day table by purchasing gifts.




Thank you to the amazing PTA Mother's Day Table subcommittee of Ange, Ali, Debbie & Natalie and all the wonderful helpers who assisted with wrapping all the gifts last Thursday night and everyone who helped the children to select their gifts on Friday.  Without this awesome support from the PTA and community this event would not be a special part of our yearly calendar.

Ange, and the team did a fabulous job with the organisation, planning and gift selection - these looked awesome.  

The amount of time and effort by the subcommittee does not go unnoticed and shows your dedication and how much you each put into this event, the hours and hours you all spend behind the scenes planning where to buy, the logistics of ensuring every present is of equal value, the correct number of gifts are purchased, organising the wrapping of each gift and making sure everything is just right for the children on the day so everyone receives a beautifully wrapped gift on Mother's Day is awesome.

2017 PTA Planned Fundraising

2017 PTA Planned Fundraising

Since November 2016 the PTA committee in consultation with the school have been planning the PTA fundraising for 2017. Below is a term by term list of the 2017 PTA Planned Fundraising.

Criteria that we took into account when determining which events we should have throughout the year:

  • Biggest return and ease of execution including time and resources invested
  • Positive outcome for children (linked to learning if possible, fun, and health and well being focus in accordance with school’s strategic aims)
  • Balance of fundraising for children and the community
  • Events spread evenly throughout the year

This year we have made a commitment to ask less from our community given that the last three years have been quite onerous on the community as well as PTA members.  It is great that we are in a position to still have some fabulous events this year without the pressure of high targets.
