Ashley Rakahuri School is running a Readathon fundraiser to assist us in raising funds to build a new school playground.

A new playground will provide our students with amazing outdoor play and learning spaces - improving these means we can transform these spaces into vibrant hubs of creativity and exploration! We're passionate about providing an enriching environment for our students, fostering their physical, social, and cognitive development.

Your contribution will directly impact the well-being and education of both our current and future students.

Our students will come together and participate in our Readathon. They will be seeking online sponsorship for their efforts, all funds raised will go towards our new school playground.

As well as raising much needed funds for our school, our Readathon fundraiser will allow all of our students to further develop their reading, enhancing their vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking abilities.

Thank you for supporting Ashley Rakahuri School.

Readathon Date: 16th September 2024
