Fundraising Update: December 2024 / January 2025

 

We are thrilled to share the incredible success of our recent fundraising efforts! This year, we focused on raising funds for new physical education equipment, specifically two elliptical machines, which are essential for supporting our students' physical development and wellbeing. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to making these initiatives such a resounding success.

 

Christmas Fundraiser Booth

A special shoutout goes to our talented student bakers for their delicious brownies and biscuits, as well as our creative student jewellery makers. We also extend our deepest gratitude to all the parents who generously donated to our Christmas fundraiser. Thanks to your support, we raised an impressive HK$10,480!

 

Annual Walkathon

Our new term kicked off with the much-anticipated annual Walkathon, an event that embodies our school's spirit of community and engagement. Thanks to the incredible participation and generosity of our community, the Walkathon raised an outstanding HK$22,330!

 

Combined Impact

Together, the Christmas booth and Walkathon have raised a total of HK$32,810 for new gym equipment! This achievement would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our students, parents, and staff. Your contributions will make a lasting impact on our students' physical education and overall wellbeing.

Thanks to the generous support of the dedicated PTA, the school was able to purchase a fantastic new play set. We know our students will absolutely love exploring and having fun on the climbers and benefit significantly by improving their physical skills, engaging in imaginative play, and fostering social interactions outdoors.
