Farmers Santa Parade Here We Come

Avoid parking hassle and ride the school bus to the Farmers Santa Parade in downtown Auckland on Sunday 29th November. Carefree, fun travel with fellow parents and classmates.

The school bus will depart school at 11am, returning approximately 5pm. This allows us time to get into the city before road closures and stay on for Santa’s Party in Aotea Square.

The Farmers Santa Parade starts at 1pm and features all the amazing pageantry, fun and surprises that have made this annual extravaganza a perennial favourite. Santa’s Party takes place after the parade with cool rides, yummy food and awesome giveaways.

Bus fare: $10 child return, $20 adult return, and $50 family return (2 adults and 2 kids).

Flock together to fund Totara Courtyard

There’s still time to sponsor your beautiful native bird sculpture for the redesigned Totara Courtyard at Pukekohe East School.

Each bird costs $50 and is crafted from quality corten steel by respected local sculptor James Wright. The birds collectively will form an artistic flock and beautify the courtyard.

Importantly, by sponsoring a bird you’ll be helping to fund the courtyard makeover.

Your child’s name or family name can be engraved at the base of the bird as a lasting reminder of your time at Pukekohe East School. Picture your grown-up kids visiting their bird long after they have flown the nest.

Choose from Fantails, Kingfishers, Tuis and Kererus. Don’t miss out on this special win-win opportunity to help the school and create a family legacy.
