Bogan Bingo was a rocking success

Thanks to everyone who came along with their red and black flannel shirts, wigs, real mullets and rock tees to help us fundraise bogan style on Saturday night!

We had a hall full of rockers for drinks, dinner, musical bingo and some epic raffles and silent auctions!

Congrats to all the winners on the night. All in all, we are chuffed to raise close to $4,000! Every $ goes towards keeping the school bus running (since 1946 in fact!) so a huge thank you to everyone especially in a tough economic environment and ongoing cost of living pressures.

Many thanks also to our sponsors, supporters and wider community (the full list is below).

And another massive thank you to our bus society team members for putting on the event and to our driver for driving guests in our ‘party’ bus (all are volunteers and families of the school – so we couldn’t do this without you all).

Stay tuned for next year’s event as the Bus Society celebrates 80 yrs since launching the first school bus service for our school!

Support our bus with Kora Fuel and Waitomo

We have a great offer with Kora Fuel Cards for our school families and community!

At Kora, their mission is to bring cheaper fuel to all Kiwis with at least 10¢ per litre off the pump price ON EVERY FILL at Waitomo and Mobil stations nationwide.

You can share some or all of that discount with Pukekohe East School Bus Society, who operate the school bus for Pukekohe East School. And right now, Kora are offering a special 13¢ per litre saving at all Waitomo stations from 1 February 2025 until 30 April 2025.

You can still share the same amount of the discount with Pukekohe East School Bus Society, but get the extra savings for yourself.

Here’s how to join!

1. Apply online: https://kora.co.nz/pesbs

2. Fill out your details (it only takes 10 minutes)

3. Any questions, you can email them, call them, online chat them!

Kora membership costs $2 per month, but you’ll get that back halfway through your first fill.

It literally pays for itself!
