Thank you to all those who helped with the Colour-Run.  There was a very festive feel to this event and it was so good to see the kids, teachers, parents and spectators enjoy themselves. Lots of the photos still make me smile, thank you Mel Hammond for being our official photographer and to Nyree for the YouTube video which she shared on Class Dojo. From a financial perspective it has been the most successful fundraiser outside the Spring Fair with over $12,500 being raised after expenses.  This has got the year off to such a great start and our school will definitely benefit.

As mentioned in the previous newsletter, our next event is the Puketaha Annual PTA Golf Day , held on the 9 hole course at Horsham Downs on Sunday May 7^th. This is predominantly a fun event, so please get a team of four together and come and join in. We are looking for hole sponsors ($100 per hole) , prizes sponsors and teams. See flyer attached.

I would like to thank Sharyn Harrison for agreeing to take over Treasurer responsibilities for the PTA, and acknowledge all the hard work Charmaine Bradstreet has done in this role previously.

That’s about it from us this term. We hope you all have a lovely Easter and school holiday break.

Kind regards,

Merynn Connors

PTA Chairperson
