Matangi Fundraising

ABOUT MATANGI FUNDRAISING:

What we do

We are a group of enthusiastic and friendly parents who work in conjunction with the Board of Trustees. Our primary focus is to raise funds through school events and promotions, which always benefit the school and our kids! All fundraising initiatives not only aid our children’s education and enjoyment at school, but they also build a greater sense of community.

How to get involved

Feel part of the school community by becoming a fundraising committee member or just by helping out during school events. Whether you are interested in coming along to listen and learn or are ready to actively get involved you are welcome to any meeting. We hold regular committee meetings, which the fundraising committee, the Principal and a Teacher representative attend. We welcome your involvement at these meetings, as new ideas, suggestions and assistance in organising events is always appreciated. Email us to register your interest.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Matangi School Families – Facebook Group

If you haven’t already, please feel free to join this group on Facebook. It is the perfect place to ask questions, buy and sell uniforms, and generally keep up-to-date with events happening at the school. It’s worth noting that this page is just a social group managed by some of our parents. For official communications from the school, please follow the Matangi School page.

While we’re on the subject of the group page, if you would be interested in becoming an admin on it, please email us. This would involve helping approve new members and moderating content. We only need a couple more people and it is a super easy way to contribute towards the school.

If you have any feedback about anything fundraising related, please feel free to contact us at fundraising@matangi.school.nz – we welcome any suggestions you have.

Our focus this year

We work closely with the Board in deciding which projects will be priorities for fundraising, and we inform our families of the details of these projects when they are confirmed.

2023 ACTIVITIES

Cookbook Project

Our Cookbook is printed and available for sale from the School Office. Learn more about this project here.

Second-hand Uniform Shop and Labels

The Fundraising Committee have opened a Second-Hand Uniform Shop. The shop will be open for one day, during each term’s first and last week. Updates on shop’s location will be communicated via the school newsletter. 

Please fill in this form if you would like to order labels for your child’s uniform. As well as reducing the chances of your items ending up in lost property, 5% of all sales will be donated towards our fundraising efforts.

Calendar artwork

Students create gorgeous artwork that we sell printed onto calendars and diaries – details for these will be communicated via the school newsletter.
