To kick off our Keeping Healthy week (7th – 11th April), we will be staging an Obstacle Course and Brain & Body Triathlon event at school on Friday 4th April. Working towards the Triathlon, the children are encouraged to work hard to practice their class Literacy, Numeracy and Mind/Body challenges.
Through sponsorship, we hope to raise money to assist us in upgrading and extending our computer and information technology and classroom reading resources throughout the school. Last year we raised almost $5,000 with funds being used to purchase 8 new IPad and Samsung tablets and new reading books, extending the number of books we have at varying levels in our reading programme.

The bike-a-thon/walk-a-thon/triathlon event has been in operation for 16 years and has been one of our most popular and successful fundraising events, raising between $5,000 and $10,000 each year. This has been a fantastic way to extend and replenish computer, reading and sports resources throughout the school.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the community who has supported these events over the years, thus greatly enhancing Provo Primary’s learning environment to what it is today. We encourage you to actively support this popular annual event which the children look forward to each year and we would like thank you in advance for your generous contributions this year.
