KIA ORA AND WELCOME

Matamata Primary School is located in the heart of the Waikato, a town overlooked by the Kaimai Ranges and surrounded by rivers that flow through rolling green hills. Here we have created a nurturing environment that enables our children to learn and prosper across all aspects of education and development. Our guiding principles centre on our motto ‘Endeavour, Achieve Excel – Tohenga, Taea, Tino Hira. Together with support of our community and engagement of whanau, we deliver a platform that inspires learning to help build and shape our future generations.

Travel Raffle

22 Jun 2025

Coming up this week...

The famous MPS PTA Travel Raffle is back and this year it’s better than ever… the prize is an incredible Gold Coast Family Adventure which will be drawn on 8 August 2025. This year we have arranged for the prize to be exchangeable for any domestic or international travel up to $5,000 – you choose your own travel prize!

We are fundraising specifically to provide portable staging for the covered turf area. This will greatly improve visibility for our students during assemblies and performances.

As part of this fundraising initiative, we ask the families of MPS to help us sell tickets - two tickets are allocated to each MPS family.

There will be a $50 voucher for the family who sell the most tickets, as well as randomly drawn spot prizes for families who sell any number of tickets. Spot prizes will be drawn weekly throughout the ticket selling period.

TICKETS ARE LIMITED – please do not pre-sell tickets – only sell those you have in your possession. We cannot guarantee more tickets and take no responsibility for those who are not able to purchase a ticket due to sale limits being reached.

If you do not want tickets, you can opt out by texting 021 148 7460 with your eldest child's name and room number. If you would like more than 2 tickets you can also make this request to the number listed and we will do our best to provide the tickets, first in first served. Please make contact by Wednesday 25 June to opt out or request extra tickets for the initial ticket distribution. These options to sell more or not to sell tickets will remain throughout the selling period. Full details will be provided with the tickets you receive.

Tickets will be sent home with your eldest child by the end of the week (27 June). Tickets will be tracked and unsold tickets will need to be returned no later than 4 August 2025.

Thank you for your support
