In 2017 Upper Hutt School created a fundraising focus on the development of outdoor learning spaces – spaces to enable opportunities for children to learn outside of the classroom, too.  Spaces that excite, calm, and encourage different types of play and exploration.  

Thanks to the dedicated support of our school community and the generosity of our sponsors, Upper Hutt School Fundraising Team have raised over $100,000 over the last six years!    These funds have been proudly invested in a large covered sandpit, stage and shade sail, two gazebos, a wonderful sensory garden and play space along with science and musical equipment.  We have recently developed a scooter and bike track for the whole community to enjoy.  

 We wish to support our school by raising funds to further enhance outdoor learning spaces and to support our children with their Year 5 & 6 Camp experiences.

We know that raising funds is a huge undertaking for our school, community and Fundraising Team.  We have reached out to many many businesses local and New Zealand wide to help support our events, and increase our funds raised.  We are thankful that we have had so much support over the last few years. You can see the details of these wonderful businesses on our Community Sponsorship page.
