Hot Cross Bun Fundraiser
This Easter we are delighted to join with Bakers Delight (Milford) to bring you delicious Hot Cross Buns! You can choose between the five flavours and order as many packs as you like!
Make a purchase for your family and then encourage your child/ren to talk to your Grandma, Grandpa, Aunties, Uncles, next door neighbours and friends to see if they’d be interested in purchasing some yummy Bakers Delight Hot Cross Buns in support of our school!
You can direct all purchasers to our PTA website (www.stjosephspta.org.nz) to order and make sure you let them know your full name and HG number so their order can be allocated to you. Alternatively, you can collate all orders and purchase once via our website. Up to you.
There will be awesome prizes on offer for the child/ family who sells the most Hot Cross Buns, thanks to some of our amazing local businesses.
Top Prize: 5x Winner Winner Chicken Dinner (Takapuna) Vouchers for Fried Chicken & a slice of pie (valued at $105)
Second Prize: $50 Countdown (Takapuna) Gift Card
Third Prize: $30 Toy World (Albany) Gift Card
All funds raised will be allocated to St Joseph’s Catholic School (Takapuna), short, mid and long-term initiatives, including:
- repainting our ground murals
- purchasing picnic tables to facilitate outdoor classrooms
- digital learning equipment
- building an exciting, new Junior playground for our tamariki!
Improvement of our outdoor environment will benefit all current and future St Joseph’s Catholic School (Takapuna) students.
Need to know dates:
- Monday 21st March to Friday 1st April – 2-week selling/ purchasing period
- Friday 7th April – Hot Cross Buns will be delivered to St Joseph’s and given to the St Joseph’s student nominated on the order form (under billing address). The student/ parent will be responsible for delivering these to the purchaser.
PTA Annual General Meeting
The St Joseph’s PTA AGM will be held at 7pm on Wednesday 6th April, 2022 via Zoom. At this meeting we will be reviewing the 2021 year and voting in the Executive Committee for 2022. All current 2021 Office Bearers will vacate their positions and 2022 Office positions voted in.
Office Positions to be voted in are:
- Chairperson
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Two PTA members who will sit on the Executive Committee
In addition to the Office Positions, it would be great to have a PTA Website (Shopify) and FB Administrator who will be responsible for updates.
This is a great time to join the PTA and support our school community. We have a number of great initiatives for 2022 and look forward to delivering them to our school community. We do need representation from parents in Y0 – Y3, to continue the legacy of the PTA initiatives. Many current PTA members will be leaving the committee in the next year or so, as their children move onto Intermediate School.
If you’d like more information call Camille on 021 427 449 or send an email to pta@sj.school.nz.
We look forward to seeing you on the 6th April!
