Riverview Primary School, Kerikeri
What's on....
Riverview School Bazaar!
The major fundraising effort of Riverview School is through the Bazaar each year. This brings in about $30,000.00 to $35,000.00 of profit each year. This is a wonderful effort and is a credit to both the parents who organize and the public who support us.
When is it held?
The Bazaar is timed for mid-September each year. This allows us to enjoy the long hot summers and Christmas without the Bazaar pressure. This also fits in with the finish of the winter sports competition and doesn’t clash with too many other community activities.
The Bazaar's main attractions:
- Lion’s Train, Trailblazers, games, pony rides, lucky dip, Tunnel of Doom, Face painting, balloon darts, coconut shy, horizontal bungee, and lots more.
- Banana splits, breakfast, curry, Devonshire tea, Fajitas, hot chips, nachos, burgers, spit, ice cream waffles and more.
- Books, used clothing, white elephant, kids’ shop, crafts, raffles, candy floss, cakes, Silent auction, sweets and much more.
- Great entertainment including local bands, Kapa haka.
There’s always room for new ideas, so if you have them and can organise them, pass them on to the planning committee so we can provide a space for you.
Want to get involved? Contact us or ask at the school reception. Requests are made through the newsletter for donations of goods, for the raffles, for cooking, for the food hall, or for time to help make things (e.g. cakes or preserves, crafts).
The important thing is to become involved - not how much or how little you can contribute. Whatever it is, it’s very much appreciated. This is a great way to get to know other parents involved with the school. The Bazaar "after-match" function is also a great way to finish the day and discuss all the things that went well.... and those other things, too.
Thanks.
