Huffa Puffa-thon
The Huff n Puffa-thon is an event that we have every year. The focus is on fun and fitness. Students collect sponsorship from family and friends, with the aim of running a certain distance. We all dress in our whanau colours, which makes us look like a huge multicoloured flower on the field. We all cheer for our friends, whanau members, parents and teachers as they completed their running goals.
Although it is not a competitive event, people still challenge themselves and try to run fast.
It is a successful fundraiser that involves all members of the community…parents stamping cards, students, teachers and parents running enthusiastically, and everyone cheering them on.
We look forward to this event every year. The neighbourhood knows exactly when it is on because they can hear our loud whanau cheers.
