Fundraising for 2026 Year 8 Camp

By Hannah Johnston | Posted: Friday September 12, 2025

Starting next week, our current Year 7 cohort will begin fundraising for their 2026 Year 8 camp. Understanding the financial pressures many families face, we are implementing a new initiative this year.

We are encouraging our current Year 8 students to participate in a "pay it forward" raffle fundraiser to benefit the 2026 Year 8 students. Each Year 8 student will have the opportunity to sell raffle cards, and all proceeds will contribute to a collective fund. This fund will directly help reduce the overall cost of camp per child for the 2026 cohort.

We recognise that your child has not benefited from this incentive, which is why participation is not compulsory but strongly encouraged. As this is a significant request,  they will earn a reward based on 10% of the total amount their cohort raises together. Each new initiative needs to start somewhere, and we appreciate your kindness and support in this endeavour.

Ngā mihi,

Hannah Johnston

Year 8 Leader
