Ellerslie School is incredibly grateful for the very generous grant Grassroots Trust awarded us which was put towards essential swimming lessons for our students, many of who could not swim & now can.

Ellerslie School was absolutely buzzing at our Big Picnic last week & it was fantastic to see so many of our new families getting to know each other.
We couldn’t have done it without our amazing team of school parent volunteers who worked really hard in the sun running the activities & selling food...it was busy!
Our students had a blast on the inflatables sponsored by Wardrobes Direct Ltd Mt Wellington, & the snow cone machine sponsored by https://www.shannonrefrigeration.co.nz/ did not rest for a second!
Working hard also was Nick Lyus & his team from Ray White Ellerslie & Mt Wellington who cooked up a storm on the bbq & were also our food sponsor.
Our students as always loved the dance sessions run by Pform.nz Ellerslie.
They say it takes a village, & we have a really great one. Thank you to everyone!
