 HALCOMBE
SCHOOL
"
Today for Tomorrow "
Many organisations support
Halcombe School!
Through our own fundraising and the regular support
of agencies such as "Pub Charity",
Halcombe School is able to provide a full and
vibrant education programme.
Our Board of Trustees takes an active
role in approaching funding agencies to support numerous
projects at the school. Trustees coordinate
applications with the support of our Principal and
school staff.
The school contributes its own funds and we also rely on
donations from our PTA.
Funding agencies help us
to provide excellent senior camps at reasonable
cost to
families, high-quality classroom resources, technology
and ICT equipment, sports uniforms and library books.
Pub Charity
has been a great
supporter of our school for a number of years!
In July 2011, their grant of $1440 allowed us to
purchase two fantastic marquees that will provide shade
and shelter at sports days and school events.
Pub Charity grants have
also allowed us to purchase new drinking fountains, a
high-quality photocopier for our school, purpose-built
furniture & shelving for our school library, top quality
gymnastic gear, sports uniforms, food technology
equipment and have paid for transport to Marlborough
Sounds camps on three occasions. We are grateful for
their support!

interactive teaching stations in each classroom.

uniforms on a number of occasions.
