Pukekohe Indian Sports Club proudly presents ‘Taste of India’ on Saturday 18th July at the PIA Community Centre, Ward Street, Pukekohe. Last time this event was held in 2009 it sold out quickly and and there was a long wait-list for tickets.

The Hari family welcome other school bus parents to join with them in celebrating the cultures of India. Experience a full Indian buffet and Bollywood style entertainment. Tickets are $70 per person or $650 for a table of 10.

Here is the timetable for the free shuttle to the Taste Franklin Festival on Saturday, starring our very own school bus! You’re welcome to jump aboard the bus at Pukekohe East School (departing 10.30am) or catch the bus from any of the other locations. Thanks to Searle Group for helping us to secure this charter contract.

Pukekohe East School’s Farmer Jock Bus has been hired as the official shuttle for the Taste Franklin Festival taking place this coming Saturday 21st March from 11am to 6pm at Karaka Sports Park (corner of Linwood Rd and Blackbridge Rd).

The Taste Franklin Festival is an event to showcase and savour the great foods and beverages produced in the Franklin region. Ideal for foodies and families. Enjoy local produce, brews and wines, restaurant dishes, live music, kids entertainment, with celebrity chefs and more. Festival tickets can be purchased on the day at the gate. Kids are free and welcome to attend with a supervising adult.

Our school bus is contracted as the complimentary shuttle service for the community. Festival-goers in Pukekohe, Patumahoe, Waiuku and Karaka can catch a free ride to the event and back.

School families are welcome to jump aboard the bus at Pukekohe East School. The bus departs school on Saturday at 10.30am arriving at the festival 11am, and returns to school approximately 6pm.

The Pukekohe East School Bus Society would like to thank Searle Group for its sponsorship to enable the Taste Franklin Festival organisers to employ our bus as their official shuttle.

‘Twas the last day of school, when all through the land;
Many creatures were grazing, as the school bus whizzed past;
The decorations were hung from the luggage racks with care;
Because on the school bus today Santa was there,
The children were nestled all snug in their seats;
While visions of prizes danced in their heads!

Today our fabulous drivers Gail and Debbie gave the kids a fun finale bus ride to end the school year. The school bus sleigh was decorated with tinsel and balloons, and Santa caught a lift. The kids enjoyed competitions, singing and spot prizes on their way home.

Gail and Debbie, thank you for delighting our children. The bus society is very lucky to have you. Thanks also to Gail’s son Kane and Maddie for making special take-home treats. Last but not least, thanks Santa for riding with us.
