Thank you for having a quick look at this page. At the moment we are trying (slowly) to organise a worthy fundraising event at our school for the Leukaemia and Blood Foundation for money to help sponsor continual research, support and funds for people that are living with Leukaemia. Please click on the below link and have a look at the many life stories of some of these brave people and also the many people taking up the challenge to raise money. We hope you might consider clicking on the 'Sponsor' button.

Thank you Lesa Lafaelle

Guess What???

What a fabulous day we had on our Shave or Craze-it-Out for Leukaemia day on Tuesday 19th May 2009! We had a lot of support from parents turning up on the day to donate to watch our event as well as staff members and members of our community giving 'their heads up for a close shave' in order to raise money for a worthy cause. The children turned up with the craziest hair-does and boy were all our children wonderfully behaved - they sat for 1hour and 30minutes while the shavees were shaved and groups of children entertained our audience with singing, acting and dancing! We also had a special parade of the classes with their wacky hair-does before the actual event (before playtime) so we could shake off the 'silliness' before going into full swing with our visitors. Our hairdressers were Lorraine Hohepa and Lynn McSweeney-O'Brien ...thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you!!! We had **Mayor Malcolm Campbell and most respected community member Kevin O'Brien and Nanny Marie** join the shavee group. We had a very supportive parent, **Matua Mack (Princess's Dad from Te Atea)** put his hand up during the shave off for...a shave as well. Our **staff shavees were Grant Sutton, Dave Paling, Ange Muncaster, Kim Waitere, Whaea Selena and myself. Rowena Findlater Verbena McCauley-Walker are our fundraising organisers.** ** Sponsors were Kawerau Pharmacy, Edu-Quip Stationary shop and Video Source. ** **WOW!!!** The support was over-whelming and the thank you I would like to say should be 1,000 X amplified!!!! We have raised $1,200.00 alone just for the sausage sizzle and raffles. A huge thank you goes to **Kawerau Intermediate** for their mufti day on the same day.
 * __Parents__** .... **THANK YOU** for all the support you have given over the past 2 weeks - you are all wonderful!!!!
