Our beloved gala returns in March with all your favourites! Stage entertainment, second-hand shopping, plants, crafts, hearty kai, and all the fun and games for kids. Mark it in your diary and let’s make our school’s biggest fundraiser an epic one. Details below and in the February 2024 issue of the Kōrero newsletter.

Local businesses: Are you a local business or family who can offer sponsorship? We are seeking donations towards expenses and in-kind products for the raffles. Please contact Rebecca Martin: 027 470 7322 or email secretary.pkbft@gmail.com

Community collections: Our gala is renowned for its excellent thrift shopping. We can take quality goods off your hands, such as bric-a-brac, working appliances, furniture, sporting equipment, garden and household tools, machinery (that works), toys, books (but only children’s books this year), and clothing (no underwear!) Please keep in mind this is a fundraiser and items need to be in good condition. If we think it won’t sell we won’t accept it.

Collection dates:
• Sunday 10 March, 9–11am
• Sunday 17 March, 9–11am
Leave items for collection on your berm. If it’s not collected by midday, it is your responsibility to take your items back. Alternatively, you can drop off items to the School and Community Hall (Rāwhiti Road) on:
