Introducing our Wonderful Supportive Bus Sponsors

Pukekohe East School has the only remaining cooperatively-owned school bus in New Zealand, tracing its origins back to 1946. The school bus gets no government funding. We are 100% community-funded.

Our wheels keep turning because of sponsorship support from these local businesses: Ansell Builders, Auckland Concrete Cutters, Continuous Group, Doppel, ISA Services Ltd, Glassways, Farmers, Farmlands, Franklin Vets, Kinetic Electrical, Manukau Panel & Paint, NZ Hothouse, Oceania Helicopters, Paper Plus, Pukekohe Travel, TrailLite, Total Span, McConnell Stafford-Bush, Searle Group, Silver Lining Trust, and The Playhouse Preschool. They support us. Please support them.
