PTA News

As we begin to wrap up 2024 and end our year with such a Colourful Splash, we would like to take a
moment and thank everyone for the hard work, creation and dedication so many of you have put
into the social events held by the Kohimarama School PTA.

We had a year filled with the return of our annual events such as the parent quiz night, kids Quiz-a-
thon, Muffins with Mum (Mothers day celebration), The Blokes Breakfast (Fathers day celebration)
and the kids Calendar Art. The second hand uniform shop is now online and proving to be hugely
popular.

The sushi, ice-block and pizza lunches have continued to be a hit this year again. There was also a
working bee earlier in Term 4 which tidied and trimmed the gardens and grounds beautifully.

But 2024 also saw the creation of 2 new events . The Pre loved Sale in June which raised over $7,500
and the Colour Splash, which was a huge hit with kids and parents alike and raised an estimated
$2,000!
The money raised from these events will be spent in 2025 on the following;

  • Sliding doors between Rooms 25 and 26
  • Erecting a new memorial garden to honour past students
  • Library Books
  • Sensory Room
  • Replacing IT equipment across the school. Mainly LED screens and some devices.
  • Library furniture
  • School Publicity

Each event that you have either helped run and create, or that you have attended and
donated to, is massively beneficial to all of us across the school community. They
strengthen the overall morale across our parent community, build unity amongst our
children, and help provide better resources across the school.

2025 will be another exciting year ahead. The PTA have put together a tentative calendar of
events for the year ahead so keep an eye out for details in term 1 next year. Our parent/
Teacher meet and greet will be one of the first events to help everyone re-connect.

If you or a group of parent friends have an event in mind, or want to help in any way, we
would love to hear from you. Email us at kohiptachair@gmail.com . We would love to
support you in its creation.
