​Traditionally the Waipu Primary School PTA held a number of small fundraising events throughout the year. Then it was decided, enough's enough! Let's stop mucking around raising lots of little bits, how about one BIG fundraiser??

​

So in 2010, the first annual Waipu Easter Carnival was held.

The Carnival was a great success and has now become a major community event for Waipu as well as a fantastic fundraiser for the school.

​

Among other things, proceeds from the past have helped fund the school bike track and shed, the adventure playground, the new sandpit area and surrounds, new computers for the computer room, plants and trees for the school property, sports equipment, Ipads and other resources for all the classrooms.

Last year's Carnival was very successful and the profits have already been put to good use starting the fit out of the school's multipurpose hall.

​

Waipu Primary is a small rural school (approx 240 pupils) that would never be able to create such an amazing event without the incredible support that we recieve from the wider community that we are so lucky to be a part of.
