Dear Sponsor,

As a parent or friend of the school, you may be interested in supporting Coatesville School so I thought I would share with you the Ag Day sponsorship opportunities available. 
 
Ag Day, this year on Saturday, 19th October, is one of our main fundraisers in the school year and is considered a school day at Coatesville School with the usual judging of best lambs/goats/pets/plants etc followed by all the exciting stalls and activities.  It attracts the entire school and their families and usually the wider Coatesville community and beyond!  1000-2000 people can easily attend our traditional Ag Day.
 
For your official information, please see here the guidelines to our sponsorship packages regarding pricing and categories.  However, for more detail please see further below.

Main sponsor: $2000 - this automatically places the sponsor in the silver category on our SPONSORSHIP SCOOP webpage  (click to view) where business logos are displayed under the different categories (support/bronze/silver/gold) with links to their websites/product/contact information. 
As a main sponsor your logo will be displayed on: 

• the back of the Ag Day tee-shirt
• the Ag Day map & programme (more largely displayed than other sponsors) - see last years below for your information.  
• the promotional poster advertising the event (if sponsor is confirmed in time) - will be printed & displayed locally as well as digitally - see last years also below for your information, and will be included in the Coatesville Chronicle which goes out to all of post code 0793 but is also online (please click to view) - see attached fyi

Of course, if you want more presence on the day of the event, a banner or sign (supplied by the sponsor) can be displayed and/or further product/promotion can be set up at the event (supplied by the sponsor), we supply the space!

Big thanks to the fabulous supporters so far who are sponsoring our upcoming Quiz Night.  It is with their help we can put on fun nights and fundraise for our school at the same time!
If you and/or your business can sponsor the Quiz Night for $300 + please contact Heather on hseel@coatesville.school.nz or tel: 021 664 749.

New Zealand has been rocked by the tragic losses that occurred in Christchurch on March 15th 2019. 

The Coatesville School Student Leadership team, along with the staff, felt that it was important to acknowledge and honour those who have been affected. 

Today in our assembly the Student Leadership spread messages of Love, Tolerance, Kindness, Respect, Unity and Solidarity. After a minute of silence, they and the whole Kahu team led our school in a beautiful rendition of the Maori Waiata Te Aroha. 

Students were also invited to take part in sending messages of Love, Tolerance, Respect and Tolerance by creating paper hearts with heartfelt messages on them and by adding their fingerprint to a peace sign mural. 

The paper heart messages will be displayed on the library window and the Peace sign mural will be presented to a local Mosque. 

Below is a compilation of photos of the students creating their messages. 

We are excited to have on board our generous sponsors for the upcoming kids disco on Friday, 5th April.  Not only does this allow us to put on a fun time for the kids but it also helps with covering our costs and thus raising funds for our school.  Thank you so much to our school families; Leon & Natalie Bathurst & family; James & Janine Lee & family and Tara Thorowgood & family for your support of Coatesville School, as well as the continued support from Flow Academy in Albany. 

​Coatesville School Swimming sports is held on the 12th of March 2019. Below is the timetable of events for the day. While we will endeavour to stick to this, times are subject to change. 

We are delighted to announce that The Trusts Community Foundation has kindly approved a grant for $2000 towards the purchase of replacement high jump mats.  A collaboration of our BoT, FOTS, TTCF and personal donations have meant this will be possible!  These mats are more in line with the height of mats provided at inter-school athletics meets and will mean a greater opportunity for our students to compete well at these events.  Thank you so much to the TTCF for assisting us in making this happen!

For further information regarding this project, please read on:
The total cost to purchase the mats, a storage trolley as well as delivery, comes to approximately $7,500 including GST.  Therefore, if you have indicated in the past about contributing to sports equipment and/or are now interested in donating towards this project, please contact Heather Seel (click to email) or phone/text: 021 64 749.  Alternatively, please deposit what you can into the school account: 12-3059-0307932-00 with reference: high jump mats donation and your name so we can thank you!
We would be very grateful as every bit of help we can get means funds can be spent in other identified areas.

We are very happy to announce that some of leftover Recycle Boutique clothing from Ag Day has been sold on TradeMe raising the school a further amount of:

Thank you so much to our amazing Cindy Poole who dedicated her time and attention to this!  
​We really appreciate everything you do Cindy - you are a super star!

We are super excited to announce that well over $40,000 was raised on the day!  Thank you so much to everyone who attended the day, to all those who helped set up and run stalls and activities leading up to and on the day too and of course to all our co-ordinators of those stalls and activities who helped pull everything together leading up to the successful day!  General verbal feedback has been that people enjoyed the day which is what we love to hear of course.  Please feel free, however, to email Julie Wall on julievwall@gmail.com any other feedback while reasonably fresh in the mind; positive as well as constructive advice, as it helps with planning for the future and making any necessary adjustments and/or improvements.

Finally, we couldn't achieve this great result without the generosity and continued (in a lot of cases) support from our sponsors and donors!
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SPONSORS AND DONORS FOR YOUR CASH AND CONTRIBUTIONS!
