40 years for World Vision...22 years for PES!

This year marks 40 years of the 40 hour famine in NZ for World Vision. For us at Pt England it marks our 22nd years of participating in this event. Our school, whanau and community are very supportive of us and it's looking like we're going to make our goal of raising over $1,000! A special thank you to all our sponsors and the extra support we receive from world vision and their education sector. Looking forward to seeing how our funds support the children of Malawi.

Going hard for the hungry!

Members of our extension class were the leaders of our 20 hour famine team this year.  They were - Chante, Selena, Vivienne, Crusader and Toreka.  Part of the lead included a visit from Devon Davids the 40 hours famine school coordinator and Shortland St actor Ido Drent.  This was hugely motivational for those of us who fundraised.  Our annual sleepover that we've had for 21 years now was a huge success.  The leaders planned and delivered a fun filled evening that not only entertained us but taught us a lot about the children we were fundraising for.  Watch this video to find out more.  Thanks again to our leaders, our families, school and friends for sponsoring us.  We managed to raise over $1,800 dollars from a group of only 25 students.  Tino pai to mahi tamariki!
