Welcome to the Student's home page
Three teams in your class will be responsible for organising fundraising and academic competitions with help from teachers and parents who wish to participate.
Those are the three groups below, and there are two sub-groups.
Collectors collect items which they can sell.
Hunters perform the administrative work.
Decide which one of the three groups you are happiest to be in, then find a friend in the same group, one of you will be a hunter, and one will be a collector. You will work together, and find instructions on the "meeting-minutes" page of this site.

Academics
You can set up your group with a class shop.
Items cost 10c and there is 100% markup, so every $1 you spend will earn $1 for your group.
Items for sale include:
Aeroplanes (sweets) 20c ea.
Bags of Pineapple Lumps 50c per bag
Contact us (by sending a txt message to 027-21-567-42 and we will set you up with everything you need to start a shop.
Remember, if you are operating from your school, you school will want to set the times when your shop will be open for business.
If you wish to, you can spend some of your income on a paper trash sack.
The current New Zealand price for Aluminium is $14 per kilogram. This means recyclers will pay for used aluminium cans. Collect these (clean) and squash them flat. A trash sack holds 5kg of aluminium cans and we will pay $2 per kilogram, meaning $10 per 5kg bag.
Get collecting.
Here is what you will need:
Artists
You are going to organise an art competition for your school. If you have an art teacher, ask if he or she wants to get involved. The title for the work of art is "A Pile of Rubbish".
Before you begin you may wish to practice drawing some still life. One subject is "Lemons".
Another is "Carrots and sporting equipment".
Another is "Our Principal" or Our Teacher".
The competition costs $2 (of monopoly money) to enter, and can be done at any time.
Ask you teacher or secretary to email us and we will provide more details, and may even be able to arrange sponsorship.
To find out more, you will have to find one of the Hunters to hunt down the facts.
Here is what you will need:
Athletes
You are going to organise regular athletic events.
These are simple competitions such as running 50m, running in a relay, throwing a ball, and so on.
Everybody will enter in two events, and it will cost you $2 (of your $200 monopoly money) to do so. There will be prizes, and the times and distances will be recorded.
Collectors will have to collect the names of the people in the class who are going to compete.
Hunters will have to find out any more details from their web site.
