Funding Successes

Over the last few years there have been numerous fundraising projects; Raising funds for a new College minibus, contributing significantly to the College Astro Turf and last year donating $30,000 for the refurbishment of a Computer suite.

Current Projects 2010

At present, the PTA is funding the purchase and installation of four electronic whiteboards.  In addition the PTA is paying for the upgrade of the sound system in the College Hall.

The College is seeking to build a new Science block and to develop a fitness course on campus. The PTA will raise funds for these projects.

In order to raise these funds the PTA will be carrying out a variety of fundraising activities in 2010. Selling the "Entertainment book' is a major PTA fundraiser. Aside from being an ideal fundraiser this voucher book offers generous discounts to purchasers - for example, discounts at local restaurants, films, travel, accommodation and local activities. These discounts total thousands of dollars and all for a $65.00 outlay. The book can be a great help in entertaining teenagers especially during school holidays. The discount book is valid for twelve months and books are available from the College office.

Another function of the PTA is to host information evenings. In past years a guest speaker talked about Methamphetamine (the drug "P"). Last year representatives of the Christchurch Police and Christchurch Hospital spoke about the use of Alcohol.
