Reminder | Bus Society meeting tonight (Mon 28 July 2025)
A friendly reminder that the Term 3 Bus Society meeting is on tonight. All bus families are welcome to come along and learn more about bus operations, fundraising etc.
Where: Mai Lighthouse, Pukekohe
Date: Mon 28 July 2025
Time: 7pm – 8pm
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!

Bus is operating as normal (11 June 2025)
Thanks for your patience. The school bus is back on the road as per the usual timetable.
Urgent | no bus morning of Tues 10 June 2025
As per Whatsapp, we had a look at the bus late afternoon/this evening – while it is starting up fine, we have decided to take the bus to the workshop just to be checked out further.
So for the morning (Tues 10 June), please make arrangements to take your children to school (please use Whatsapp if you need help). Note at 8.15am/8.20am, there will be a few parents cars at Pukekohe Rugby Club carpark so if you want to drop your child(ren) off there, just post on Whatsapp so we know numbers.
For the afternoon – I’ll post on Whatsapp/send an email at 1.30pm on whether the bus can go ahead or not. Please have a plan B for school pickup just in case (again post on Whatsapp if you need help).
