 School Hall fundraising:                             
The school has been saving rugby car parking fundraising for a number of years and has raised $350,000. The Board of Trustees have identified a school/community hall would support the wider learning that is seen as important for the children in our school community. The target to build the hall is $950,000.

We need the support of past students and our community if we are to achieve this goal. Many drops will fill a bucket, so we ask, "Can you help?". Any help you are able to give will be much appreciated. 

Thank you for considering to support the school in this way.

If you are able to make a contribution, you can indicate this on the bottom of the Reunion registration form or contact the school directly.
