3. PTA Math-a-thon 2021 Fundraiser

Today our students took part in the Sunnybrae Math-a-thon to raise money for a permanent shade structure at the back of our school hall. All test papers and a letter explaining payment options were sent home with your child/ren today.
We would appreciate your support in helping your child collect their sponsorship money and passing on our thanks to all those who sponsored or made a donation.
There are 3 options for payment by Friday 9 July:
- Pay via Kindo (our preferred method of payment) – instructions on the back of the parent letter.
- Pay the money into our school bank account via online banking – Sunnybrae Normal School, ASB Northcote, 12 3053 0370789 00, please include your child’s first name, room number and the word ‘athon’ in the reference.
- Pay cash at the school office.
The draw for students who get over 10 sponsors or raises at least $50.00 and brings in their sponsorship money by Friday 9 July will take place at our school Singing Assembly on Friday 9 July. Prizes for the student in each syndicate who have been the most successful at raising sponsorship will also be given on that day.
Thank you for assisting us with this fundraising venture which has encouraged our children to improve their maths ability while at the same time giving them a chance to actively assist the school.

4. Westlake Girls Dance Performance and Workshop
|
Sunnybrae students were given a unique opportunity to learn more about dance thanks to a special assembly and workshop from Westlake Girls High School. Each representing a different genre, 5 troupes performed their own choreographed dance for the school. Following the assembly, students who had expressed interest in participating in a workshop were put through their paces. They learned how to warm up, followed demonstrations around specific dance moves and then worked in small groups with Westlake leaders to sequence a series of movements to music. The level of coaching was outstanding and the students were buzzing with enthusiasm!

|
The Sunnybrae Normal School basketball courts have been very busy before school on Friday mornings. A group of Year 4 – 6 girls, all keen basketball players, have been having extra coaching from two Harbour Breeze basketball players.
Girls Got Game is a fun and friendly basketball programme for primary and intermediate aged students. It helps to develop movement and thinking skills in a fun and social team environment and aims to introduce more young females to basketball, encouraging them to continue being active and enjoy basketball with their friends.

8. Keeping Ourselves Safe
|
This week was the final week of running the ‘Keeping Ourselves Safe’ programme in our school for this year.
This is a classroom based programme which is taught by our teachers and run in conjunction with the NZ Police and our Community Constable, Steve Harwood. At Sunnybrae we run this programme every second year and Constable Harwood has been in classrooms each morning for the past two weeks to run the final lesson.
Students have learned:
- to work out when their safety is at risk
- how to keep safe when they meet and mix with other people
- who and how to ask for help
- to go on asking for help until someone does something to help them
- that it is important to make and follow personal, family and school safety rules
Please remember to help your child to learn and know their:
- First and last Name
- Home address, including their suburb
- Their parent or caregivers contact phone numbers

9. PTA Fundraising Initiative – Are you able to support us?
|
In Term 3, our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is running an exciting fundraising initiative – The Sunnybrae Normal School PTA Raffle 2021 – 20 days of prizes! All money raised will go towards a permanent shade structure to be built at the back of the school hall facing towards the fields.
We will have fantastic prizes all set out in calendar format, one prize per day for 20 days. You buy a ticket, enter the draw and every day a new prize is drawn. If you win a prize and the calendar hasn’t finished, you get placed back into the draw for another chance to win something else!
How can you help?
We are currently looking for people to contribute $50 vouchers for our raffle. For example, you might like to purchase a $50 voucher from a store of your choice and donate it to our raffle. If you would like to gift a voucher to Sunnybrae Normal School please contact our Deputy Principal, Karen Rodger – krodger@sunnybrae.school.nz or drop a voucher at the office.
