Gala day
$45,000 Raised in 2011!
Don’t miss a truly amazing fundraising event held in the heart of Matakana - the Matakana School Gala. This event is held every Labour weekend for well over 15 years now and coincides with many other special events happening in the area during that time.
Our gala is a wonderful family event and a bargain hunter's dream! There are so many stalls to visit including our huge yard sale which takes over our netball courts, two classrooms full of clothing and linen, a special art gallery filled with special retro/unique pieces, half our hall full of books, plants and produce stalls, an electrical store, two classrooms full of toys, a room filled with 'quality' pieces and special nic nacks and a huge area filled with bric a brac items and much more!
Visit our silent auction and don't miss the quickfire raffle wheel!
After all that treasure hunting you'll be ready to sit down and enjoy our main stage entertainment which will have an array of talent from Matakana School as well as local artists. Sit awhile, enjoy the entertainment and feast on delights made specially by our very own Matakana School foodies - mussel fritters, gourmet burgers and sandwiches, waffles, nachos, fair food like sausage sizzle and bacon butties and lots more at the One Day Cafe or take a cake home from our cake stall.
A children's entertainment extravaganza on our back field includes traditional games like Coconut Shy, Crockery Smash and our very own "Funky Salon"... Enjoy the Water Walkers, horizontal bungy, the "Terminator", Disneyland bouncy castle, mini hot rods, and so much more.
The doors open at 7am. For more information including stage entertainment or busking around our school, food or children's entertainment email our gala administration team on events@matakana.school.nz.
Sorry we don’t hire stall space at the Matakana School Gala.
