Warkworth School pupils raised over $10,000 for professional swimming lessons last month.
Warkworth School pupils took part in a 5km walk through the town centre and along the Mahurangi River on October 26 to fundraise for school swimming lessons.
The PTA-organised event involved 642 children and raised over $10,000 to pay for professional swimming tuition.
Principal Cynthia Holden says that now the school has a heated pool they are keen to raise the children’s ability in the water all year round.
“A swimming instructor will complement the work of our classroom teachers and will significantly raise the level of swimming competence for all of our students,” Mrs Holden says.
All the children received an ice block thanks to the team at United Real Estate, and those that raised $30 or more in sponsorship go into a draw for a $300 Bike Barn voucher.
