Fundraising is a fundamental activity implemented at Onslow College. To support charities, foundations and co-curricular activities, Onslow runs a number of different fundraisers throughout the year. Onslow regularly encourages students to be active in these events, most being student led. Students proudly raise money for a variety of different charities and events.
Fundraising events that are regularly supported at Onslow are; Pink Shirt Day, International Food Fair Day, Student led Sausage Sizzles and the Entertainment Book.
Entertainment Book
Did you know we have partnered with Entertainment (Books) to raise funds for our school?
The Entertainment Membership gives you access to thousands of valuable offers on dining, travel, retail and experiences such as Wellington Zoo, Best Ugly Bagels, Empire Cinema, The Old Quarter, Te Papa Museum, A High Dining, Seal Coast Safari, Wildfire… and many more - all while supporting local businesses.
Best of all, 20% of every Membership sold goes directly to our school, helping to raise funds for student hardship, directly benefiting our students.

PTA Fundraising
The Onslow College PTA (Parent Teacher Association) is an important part of the college community. It is made up of parent volunteers who contribute their time and energy in supporting the college in practical ways. This includes hosting events for new students, helping in the library, supporting school events and providing relevant information evenings for parents.
All funds raised through PTA initiatives are spent on college “wishlist” items after consultation with the Principal and students. Some examples where PTA have funded or contributed are digital message boards, school recycling stations, laptops for students, a kitchenette, hot water and additional furniture for the student centre, new seating in the Quad, additional seating in the maths corridor for students, two of the school water fountains, and the PC School App (see below).
We are aware that many parents feel they are unable to contribute to the PTA in a practical way. We would like to offer you and your family an opportunity to provide financial support to the PTA.
Where possible, the PTA target areas of the school that benefit all students.
We look forward to your support and contribution. Please contact us for any suggestions and comments.
