The Halswell-based school is also giving thank you cards made by pupils to businesses that have previously supported fundraising activities. Oaklands parent teacher association president Cameron Montague-Ebbs said it wanted to thank and support those who had given generously to school fundraising activities in the past, or businesses that were owned by school families. “Local business have been very supportive of our fundraising activities in the past but we understand in this environment if they are not able to be as generous as they previously have. The school was still planning to hold its end-of-year community celebration, the school gala, on December 11 from 5.30pm.
