Pinehaven School Family Day 2016
Every two years, Pinehaven School hosts the Pinehaven School Gala. Saturday 5th November 2016 sees us host a revamped version, the Pinehaven School Family Day, appealing to the Pinehaven community and families from across the Wellington region.
Family Day has been designed as a family friendly event for all ages, with the purpose of raising funds for our senior student camp (March 2017), the refurbishment of older classrooms, and IT resources. We anticipate a successful event with record numbers visiting our school from across the region. We'd love to see you and your family and friends for an action packed day of family fun, delicious food, and entertainment for everyone! Read on for a brief description of some of the festivities available at our 2016 Pinehaven School Family Day...

Bouncy castle? Yes. Super slide? Tick. Tug of war? Of course. Throw a wet sponge at your favourite teacher? Naturally. Commando assault course? Bring a change of clothes... We've got fun activities and games for all ages covered and have ensured these are pocket money friendly. Bring some gold coins for some super fun!

We know you'll be tempted by our broad selection of lunch options, and great coffee. From burgers for Dad, pulled pork rolls for Mum, nachos for the kids, and more! We'll also have the usual suspects covered (sausage & bread anyone?). We haven't forgotten the grandparents either, who may prefer a quiet sit down and a devonshire tea in our Tea Room.

We're lucky at Pinehaven School to have a large number of families from Whitemans Valley. Those farms and lifestyle blocks are supplying the cutest range of farmyard animals ever, for you to ride, pat and feed. Something for everyone!
