What Schools Say
Back to School party makes such a difference for our kids. They are so excited when they hear they’ve been chosen to attend - they’ve heard stories of the fun at the party, have seen what others have received the year before and look forward to their chance. These tamariki arrive at school on the first day of the year wearing their new t-shirt, hat and shoes. They’re keen to show off their new bags and lunchboxes and have every piece of stationery they need to start learning on day one. They’re excited and ready for the new school year!

Yes, there are some volunteering opportunities that allow you to contribute from home. Tasks may include administrative support or fundraising/sponsorship efforts. Contact us to learn more about available remote roles.
We welcome volunteers from all age groups. Some roles will be more suited to adults due to the nature of the tasks involved. Check with us if you are unsure if a role you are interested in is okay for you.
We will do our best to give you the volunteer role that you would like. From time to time however, we may need to ask volunteers to serve in a different area so that we have enough volunteers to ensure all areas are fully resourced. Every task is valuable to the success of Back to School and so we encourage you to give something new a try if needed.
That’s okay, we understand that circumstances change. Just let us know as soon as you can that you will no longer be available.
