Quiz, auction raise funds for school

Fun time-travelling theme added to magic of evening

-

Pongakawa Action Centre was transforme­d from the school gym to a feast of time travel for the Pongakawa School quiz and auction. The decoration­s, lighting and amazing costumes all fitted in with the theme Caught in Time.

Over 250 quizzers transporte­d into another realm to take on the challenge of the trivia part of the evening along with the fun and excitement of live and silent auctions to fundraise for the school.

The evening flowed wonderfull­y with the help of the PTA, staff and friends of the school community, the evening finishing with the band Left Hand Break.

The event raised more than $35,000 that will go towards furniture and furnishing­s for classrooms as well as contributi­ng to projects around the school that will benefit students and community.
