Dear Waipa Christian School Community,

We will be holding our Annual Garage Sale on Saturday 9th May, 9am-12pm. This is a major fundraiser for our school and it only works well when everyone is involved. We are asking for your support.

All families are to provide two lots of home baking, wrapped and labeled ready for sale (e.g. Chocolate muffins or Gluten free choc muffins, etc), to be dropped off at the school office on Friday 8th May.

We also have a google form link below that we would like you to indicate where you are able to help for the garage sale.

Dear Parents,

2026 is the year for our Whole School Production, and we are very excited to begin preparing for this special event.

The production will link with our year's concept of "One Another.” All students from Year 1 through to Year 9 will participate in one way or another—whether through singing, dancing, or acting. Every student plays an important role, no matter how big or small. You can think of it like a jigsaw puzzle: if even one piece is missing, the puzzle is incomplete.

Students have already begun practising during afternoon blocks midway through this term. Regular school attendance is important so that students can learn their parts and participate fully in rehearsals.

Due to logistical circumstances, we need to change the date of performance week. Please update your calendars with the new dates below:

Dress Rehearsals: Week 8, Term 2
Performance Dates: Week 9, Term 2 (Monday 15 – Thursday 18 June 2026)
Time: Afternoon and evening performances
Venue: Woolshed Theatre

More information will follow early in Term 2.

At this stage, we would appreciate your assistance with the following:

Costumes:

• Donation of costumes
• Offering your services to join the Craft Team 
• Offering your services to join the Sewing Team

Should you wish to be involved in any of the following, please complete the google form by clicking on the link:

Thank you for your support as we prepare for this exciting school event. It will be a wonderful opportunity for students to work together, serve one another, and celebrate their talents as a school community.

Blessings,

Anine Bonthuys
