   Jumping June is Here!   

This June, Ngutunui School is taking part in Jumping June, a fun fundraising challenge that encourages students to get active while raising money for The Heart Foundation.

Throughout the month, students will challenge themselves to skip every day and learn as many new jumping skills as they can while raising money for an amazing cause. It's a great way to get active, build healthy habits, and support an important cause.

We would love your support! Please create student fundraising pages using the link below:

Entry Code: ngutunui

Once registered, students can start collecting sponsorships.

We will be holding a special Jumping June Event Day on Friday 26 June to celebrate our efforts throughout the month. Keep an eye out for more information about this exciting student event closer to the time.

Thank you for supporting our students as they challenge themselves to stay active and make a difference in our community!

Pirongia Rugby & Sports Club – 150th Jubilee (King’s Birthday Weekend)

Our club is turning 150 and we’d love to see our whole school community there. From 29–31 May, it’s a full weekend festival with rugby, food vans, live music and plenty for all ages.

There’ll be plenty of great rugby viewing across the weekend. It all kicks off Friday night with TA College vs Cambridge High in the Waipā Cup, followed by the Pirongia Presidents taking on the Waikato Presidents – always a highly entertaining match with plenty of familiar faces (keep an eye out for a few school dads out there!). Up and coming band Echoes of Yesterday will also be playing, featuring Pirongia School ex-pupil Finn Reymer.

Saturday (30/05) is perfect for families – all grades of junior rugby run throughout the morning, followed by an epic kids zone running from 10am with bouncy castles, face painting, and a special visit from Waikato Rugby mascot Mooloo, plus heaps to do throughout the day, including the senior derby against Ōhaupō for the A’s and B’s.

There’s also a kids colouring competition (prizes for each age group). Entries can be dropped to the school office by 25 May, with all artwork displayed at the club over the weekend.

While there are lots of free activities to enjoy, there is also a ticket option which gives access to the marquee and activities within it, including the Saturday night function. Sunday features a sofa session and legacy match that will bring some star-studded players into the village.
