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!

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).

Urgent | No bus this afternoon (Tue 27 May 2025)

As per Whatsapp, Stuart is feeling a bit under the weather so he will rest for the day so there will be no bus this arvo.

Can you please make arrangements to collect your children from school? If you need help with pick up please see the Whatsapp group (bus support) or message me on Whatsapp.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Reminder | Bus goes to school production venue (Fri 16 May)

Just a friendly reminder that the school bus will operate as usual on Friday 16 May for the morning route and will drop our bus kids off to the production venue instead of school. We have already spoken to the families that are at the end of the route close to school to help with alternative arrangements.

For the afternoon route, the bus kids will be picked up from the venue and commence the usual school route from school. Any issues please contact us angely.cullerne [at] gmail.com or on Whatsapp.
