Backup driver for first three days of Term 3
Angely and our backup driver James will be at the helm for the first three days of term 3 as Stu will be having an extended break.

Tickets on sale now: Te Arai Links raffle tickets (drawn on 29 July 2026)
Our 80th anniversary celebration continues! We have teamed up with Mike Murphy Bayleys Real Estate to run a raffle for a chance to win a 4-ball package to the world-class Te Arai Links golf course (valued at $2,100). We have been selling raffle tickets in-person at Pukekohe Golf Club ($15 per ticket or 3x tickets for $35) and are due to go back there on 22 July and 23 July. If you/friend/family would like to buy a ticket(s), please message Angely (021303403) and she will get a ticket(s) sorted for you.

A massive thank you to our bus advertisers:
We are so grateful to our amazing school bus advertisers and sponsors – your support and generosity is helping to keep our bus running for our primary school tamariki.

We still have a few spots left for your business logo on the bus – enquire now! https://pukekoheeastschoolbus.org/advertising/

Grants and other fundraising updates:
As it’s election year – Karla, Robyn and Angely met with Andrew Bayly’s office in Pukekohe to chat through our bus society operations, fundraising initiatives and explored other support avenues! We also received another $2,000 in grants from the Four Winds Foundation to go towards bus driver wages. We are truly 100% community funded and cannot thank the wider Pukekohe community enough.

Save the date: Bus Society meeting on 3 August
The Bus Society meets once per term and all bus families are welcome to attend – a great opportunity to learn more about the bus operations, fundraising, grants and more. The next meeting is at school on 3 August and then in term 4 on 2 November.

We welcome any feedback and if you have any concerns and questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Bus Society on admin@pukekoheeastschoolbus.org

New Bus Shelter thanks to Total Span Counties Pukekohe

Many thanks to Total Span Counties Pukekohe for refurbishing the bus shelter on Golding Road and relocating it to another rural bus stop for us! It’s perfect for keeping our children safe, warm/cool and dry!

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!
