Upcoming PTA Events
| Final PTA Meeting | Mon, 6 Dec, 7:00pm |
If you have a Google calendar you can add events directly to it via the Calendar page. For more events go to the Full School Calendar List.
Welcome back everyone, it is wonderful to see all the kids’ excited smiles as they are coming back to school and hear about their time seeing their teachers and friends.
Although the PTA has taken a break from events over lockdown we were happy to prepare care packages to deliver to our teachers over lockdown to thank them for working so hard to put a smile on our kids’ faces every day.
Unfortunately this year we have had to cancel our very popular calendar art fundraiser as there just wasn’t time to get the art done and printed while we are back at school. You do however have an opportunity to support Kohimarama school during the festive season by buying your Christmas Tree through Zach’s trees. The more Christmas trees we sell the higher the rate of commission, so please support us and share with your local family and friends!
Christmas Tree Sales!
We are again working with Zach’s Christmas Trees who will provide Kohimarama School a commission for any Christmas trees sold – the more trees sold, the higher the commision we get!
This year the trees are available by contactless drop off only, on either December 5 or December 12.
Zach’s Christmas Trees provides the finest Christmas trees in Auckland, so purchase with confidence knowing that your tree will be one of the best in the neighbourhood!
Three tree options available:
- 3.5ft to 5ft $55.00
- 5ft to 6.5ft $70.00
- 7ft $85.00
Ordering is really simple … just click here to order your tree by 01 December.
Centennial Celebrations
We were very disappointed to have to postpone our Centennial Celebrations planned for September, however you will see from our posters that we are still hoping to celebrate in March 2022.
The Gala is being held on March 26 and if you had previously bought a ticket you should have received an email today asking you to confirm if you are still able to attend or not. The format for the other centennial celebrations are still being finalised and we will let you know as soon as we can!
