WAITOHU SCHOOL FIREWORKS EXTRAVAGANZA – FRIDAY 7 NOVEMBER – HARUĀTAI PARK – 6.30PM

NEXT Friday 7 November our Fireworks Extravaganza fundraiser is all set to go - TUMEKE, Yee hah, KA RAWE, Whoop Whoop.

Please let whānau and friends know where they can buy tickets from. The more people there the more money we make for our tamariki. Tickets are on sale now. Again this year purchasing tickets prior to the night will be cheaper than at the gate. Pre purchase is $5 per adult or child - on the night is $8 adults & $5 children (under 5’s are free).

Helpers: NGĀ MIHI NUI to all those who have volunteered to be a helper supporting our Fireworks Fundraiser - really appreciated. Please read the ‘Helpers List’ below to confirm where you can help. If you are helping on the sausage, hotdog or hamburger stalls, please be at the park by 5.30pm. Helpers on other stalls please be there at 6.00pm.

Dessert Tent: NGĀ MIHI NUI to those who volunteered to do baking and who have donated baking ingredients - much appreciated. We still need a few more items - if you are able to help please look at the 'Dessert List' below. We need items delivered to the office by Monday 3 November, ngā mihi.

We are looking forward to a brilliant night.

50 TICKET RAFFLE - SIGNED 2024 HURRICANES JERSEY

Caleb Delaney, current Hurricanes loose forward and lock has very generously gifted Waitohu School with a signed 2024 Hurricanes jersey. We would love this gift to go to a person who loves the Hurricanes, while at the same time being able to support our tamariki at Waitohu. We think a '50 Ticket Raffle' is a win-win way to do this. Tickets are $10 each to support our tamariki and also provide a great chance of winning. Christmas is coming, the time for giving gifts ......... are you someone or do you know someone who would really value having this awesome jersey? Please, through your social media contacts, let others know of this opportunity.
Buy a ticket - it is as simple as emailing office@waitohu.school.nz to let us know you've deposited $$ into our school account for the ticket(s) and we will email you back with your number(s). School Bank Account: 03-1532-0014731-00, Account Name: Waitohu School Board of Trustees Particulars: Your name Code: Raffle. You can of course also just come into the school office, we have eftpos available. This '50 Ticket Raffle' closes on Friday 12 December (or earlier if all the tickets are sold) in time for Christmas wrapping and gifting!!
