Litterless Lunches
Thank you to all those who have put in such a great effort to support this at home - it can be a challenge, but we have been blown away by the response and how much better the school grounds are looking already - please keep up the great work as it is very much appreciated!
Please also see below for information on this year's Colour Run. This is a major fundraiser that will contribute to a playground redevelopment later this year as part of the Board's Strategic Plan.
The more we are able to raise as a community, the more we will be able to invest in this fun project for the children, so sign up today if you haven't already. If that wasn't exciting enough, this time you get a chance to join in and get messy with your child on the day!
Start to collect stickers from individual fruit or labels (or bar codes) from Yummy Apple bags. A copy of the collection sheet was sent home on Monday to the eldest or only child in each family (please check your childโs bag), or it can be downloaded from the Yummy Fruit website at www.yummyfruit.co.nz. Collection sheets are also available in the office.
Completed sheets can be dropped back to your class teacher or the office any time until the 5th Sept 2025. Stickers will be redeemed for new sports equipment for MENPS - last year we received $1345 worth of sports equipment for our kids to enjoy! Thank you for collecting!
PTA Communications Officer
We need a Communications Officer to support the PTA in 2025! This role includes working with the event planning teams to assist with comms for upcoming PTA events/initiatives, and includes writing the PTA section of the weekly school newsletter. No experience required, it is a fun and easy role to support MENPS and the PTA! Any questions - email menpspta@gmail.com
Are your kids keen to enter the Central East Auckland Weet-Bix TRYathlon on Sunday 30 March?
MENPS has set up a dedicated group and will have a MENPS Tent at the event on the day that you are welcome to come and hang out at. Please come and join the fun at the MENPS tent even if you have already registered!
For further details, and if you would like to join the MENPS team - you can do so here:

Follow this link to the registration page. You'll need to set up an account if you don't already have one with Race Roster to register your kids for the event (email + password). Once you've entered your details you will be automatically allocated to the MENPs school group.
Note that no supervision is offered on the day, parents will need to be onsite and supervising their kids for the duration. This is NOT a fundraiser for MENPS - donations are entirely optional and note that it is fundraising for the Weet-Bix charities and not for MENPS.
