Hope you are all having a relaxing break these school holidays. Here’s a quick update from the Bus Society for Term 2!

Bogan Bingo: Saturday 14 June (7pm til late)

We are thrilled to be hosting musical bingo for our annual fundraiser – Bogan style! Register below (click on the image or scan QR code) for tickets and feel free to share this on your own social channels. Tickets are limited and there will be lots of fabulous auction and raffle prizes up for grabs, as well as prizes for best dressed and bingo winners! EFTPOS will be at the venue.  If you’d like to help out in the lead up to the event or on the day/night of the event, feel free to come to the next Bus Society meeting on 12 May at school (or email admin@pukekoheeastschoolbus.org) 

Bus List updates

If your child(ren)’s won’t be using the bus on a particular afternoon(s) at short notice, don’t forget to let Karen/Sonia at the school office know so we can mark them absent from the bus. If your child won’t be on the bus on a set weekday afternoon(s) each week, please contact us so we can update the master list: admin@pukekoheeastschoolbus.org
