Kaurilands School

27/08/2026

Good afternoon all

https://www.rachelsearsonphotography.com/ is excited to bring Fine Art School Portraits back to Kaurilands School next week.

These are school photos with personality! Your child will experience a mini portrait session where they get to have fun and be themselves. Photos are taken on a modern black backdrop so dressing in colour and pattern gives best results, try and avoid the bulky black hoodies.

Rachel will start with the year 6's and work her way down the school, the eldest child from each family will collect their younger siblings on their way to have their photo taken.

Schedule for this week is as follows:

Monday 31st August - Individual/Siblings Portraits
Year 6
Year 5
Year 4 (Room 11)

Tuesday 1st September - Individual/Siblings Portraits
Year 4 (Rooms, 13, 15, 16 & 19)

Kaurilands School Bake Sale!

We would love your baking donations, please, for our Bake Sale on this Friday, 26 June. (Plates will have come home with your eldest child yesterday)

Please deliver baking to the school foyer from 8.15am onwards on Friday morning. There are also some cake boxes in the school office if you'd like to collect one to present your cakes in.

Baking can freeze really well, making it quick and easy options for the weekday lunches and snacks. And, if you have a morning tea, shared lunch or another get-together, we'd love it if you came in to buy from us too!

We'll be there all day, but recommend you avoid the start of day, morning tea and lunch time rushes if you can. It can get really busy, so if you are free to stay and help us package, sort and sell too, please do!

Finally, a huge thank you to Rachel and Eliot from Little Social, who are kindly delivering goodies for us to include https://www.littlesocial.nz/

Table or single tickets?
You can book a full table with friends or purchase individual tickets. Quiz nights sell out quickly, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

What should I wear?
The RSA kindly relaxes its dress-code rules for quiz nights, so this is your chance to shine like a treetop star! Whether you're aiming for the Ugly Sweater Hall of Fame or going all out festive, Christmas themed dress up is encouraged.

Kai
Each table will receive a platter of finger food to share. We recommend having a meal before you arrive or ordering from the RSA kitchen during the evening.

Auctions
We are looking for items or services to include in our upcoming live and silent auctions, raffles and gift baskets.

If you’re a local business and would like to contribute or can organise something on our behalf, we’d love to hear from you. In the past, we’ve had weekend getaways, concert tickets, a morning as a radio producer, and other experiences, vouchers for mechanics, design consultations and classes, handbags and artwork. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to our fundraising goal for this year.
