About+RSF

The Rotokawa School Fundraisers are a group of parents, who along with a teacher representative, get together once a month to organise fundraising and social events. We currently meet on the last Wednesday of every month at 7pm in the school staff room. Our meetings are very relaxed and informal with plenty of laughs, they are a great way to talk with other parents and make new friends. A member of the Board of Trustee's is also present - to pass on any concerns and suggestions.

The role of our group is to provide a link between parents/caregivers and school, to organise social and fun events for both pupils and parents and to raise funds for extra equipment that both children and teachers would otherwise miss out on having. During the past year RSF has focused on providing new technology for classrooms. This was due to a strong feeling within the group that our children deserved the same opportunities as children going to larger schools have, with what is now considered commonplace equipment. Specifically, RSF donated over **// $14,000 //** to the school in the form of laptops, classroom projectors, and other ICT equipment. This was possible due to YOUR support, Thank you!

At our AGM in May 2010, a new RSF committee was formed. The regulars have done an amazing job the past few years and many, many thanks to them. This year the committee is made up of a few new faces plus the support of those that have been around a while. (for Lesley Tetley, 'a while' is  **//15//**  odd years at the school!) Our committee is enthusiastic and looking forward to getting stuck in to help out where we can. Our focus will be on enhancing the community spirit within the school. We hope this will be achieved by either hosting or helping out at one 'get together' per term. eg: SplashOut, Matariki, Disco... All products and services at these get-togethers will be offered at low cost to allow more Rotokawa Families to attend and enjoy the event. This low cost approach will also be applied to the food stalls held during sports events & school fun days. Our committee sees it as a service to enhance the feel of the day for Rotokawa children and their whanau.

We consider ourselves lucky to have a decent sized list of RSF 'Friends' to help us out during events or when required. We know there are still some awesome parents and whanau out there just itching to get involved, RSF is always looking to make new 'Friends'.



//** How do you become a friend of RSF? **//

Just contact someone on the committee and pass on your details. You'll receive a quick call soon after to go through ways you could help, we'll then put your information into our 'RSF Friends' data base and only ring you if something pops up you seem perfect for. When we ring you can decline us with no excuse necessary, we're not into pressuring you, just including you if it suits.

Or you can download this form and drop it into the school office at any time.

Thanks heaps, the more support we get, the better the service and the bigger events we can host.
