Fundraising
We are fortunate in New Zealand that the government provides funding to help cover teachers' salaries and the general day-to-day running costs of kindergartens. Session fees, community grants and fundraising are necessary to replace equipment and materials, develop grounds and buildings, and maintain the high standards we are so proud of. Fundraising activities are held throughout the year and the committee and teachers work hard at making these relevant, interesting and fun.
Some of our successful fundraising events include;
- Quiz night
- Bikeathon
- Garage Sale via Trade Me
- Raffles
A new fundraising initiative we are trialling (2011) are affiliate partnerships with popular New Zealand ecommerce websites. So, if you need to book accommodation or a fan of buying books/music/toys online click on one of these widgets first and the kindergarten will earn a % (up to 5%) of your purchase – we would like to thank you in advance for your support.
