Donations Needed For Newer Larger Bus

Please make a donation to help keep our special historic school bus service going. The Pukekohe East School Bus has been operating since 1946, nearly 70 years. It was the first cooperatively-owned school bus in New Zealand and is thought to be the only one left.

Fast-forward to 2013 and the children of Pukekohe East School need a larger newer bus. Our current bus is at capacity and requires ongoing costly maintenance. A larger newer second-hand model will cost $120,000. The school community is saving hard but we need outside donations to reach our target.

Our school bus is 100% self-funded; no government funding is available to us. Please make a donation to our new bus cause so that we can continue to take the children of Pukekohe East to school and back everyday. Every little bit counts, just a couple dollars will do.
