Parents and Friends Association Approves Funding for Arts, Music, Kapa Haka and Rugby


The PFA raises funds to support various groups and activities around and within our school community. During our March funding round we were able to support a variety of groups. The meeting reviewed and approved six funding proposals totalling $23,500. 

  • Our JMC Kapa Haka group will get $12,096.50 towards purchase of piupiu

  • Carole Gardiner in the Library will add $676.65 worth of books to her Maori collection

  • $200 was gifted for costumes and props for SGCNZ Shakespeare Festival Performance

  • Four new display boards for the Art department valued at $3086.09 will be used in the ELC foyer.

  • Our Jazz Band will receive two new tenor saxophones with the $3991.30 contribution.

  • The 2025 Japan Rugby Tour will benefit from the donation of $3200.

The Committee also approved a $5000 donation towards the set up costs of an inaugural event planned for Term 3, 2025.  Details will be revealed in due course.

The PFA are a group of enthusiastic parents and friends who meet monthly to plan and run fundraising activities where the profits are fed back into the school.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any ideas or are interested in joining us.  New members are always welcome.
