Fundraisers
A large portion of the DSPTA's fundraising goes directly back into the school community, reducing the amount parents/ caregivers are asked for throughout the year.
Our main fundraisers are our annual raffle, Read-A-thons (every other year), school events like Discos, sausage sizzles which are as much about getting the community together and holding events kids enjoy as raising funds, as well as Community Events like Discover Christmas.
We also have a few ongoing fundraisers that we get a kickback from products sold.
Current Fundraisers where we receive money back:
Pepper & Me
A local NZ company that believe food should be bold, exciting and never a chore. Their salts, sauces, and seasonings are designed to bring big flavour to every dish.
Start Date: 01/03/26 End Date: 25/03/26
