RIDING BOOTS FUNDRAISER

Riding Boots Fundraiser - these normally retail at $140 each so it’s a great deal! $30 goes to Coatesville School for every pair sold. Please note these are in European sizing but are equivalent to NZ 4-11. Please contact Cindy on cindy_rimmington@hotmail.com

FotS - we need you!

WE NEED YOU!

We have had a few resignations within the FotS team and are currently on the look out for a number of people to join the team.

Come join in the fun with us at the Friends of The School (FOTS!), it's really a fab way to get to know more people and be involved in our awesome school.

Whether you can offer a little or a lot, we'd love to have you involved. Most of us have other work commitments and we all know the time involved in leading busy family lives too, so whatever you can offer, we would really appreciate it.

An additional service to stack wood into your woodshed or preferred location is $30 for the first m2 (and $10 for subsequent m2).

*We will also be using a metre squared bottomless frame (right), to accurately measure out each 1m2 so to avoid any concerns of miss measures like what can happen easily with firewood suppliers. Wood is currently wet-weathered but dry.
