The Central Challenge
The Central Challenge Family Adventure Race is Nelson Central School's main
fundraising event for 2021. Being held on Sunday May 23rd, 10am – 3pm at Central School.
This traditional School Gala and Rogaine Event in one, encourages a wide range of school's whanau, community and local sponsors to embark in some good active family fun together.
Our school places a huge emphasis on healthy, active, fundraising fun! Nelson Central School will be a buzz with the Rogaine, a 1 or 2 hour timed orienteering event with a map, clues and wild card prizes. With a Gala as well as a Rogaine there is something for everyone; hot food, baking and refreshments at the Café, picnic and seated dining, Bouncy Castle Obstacle Course, Blast Body Zorb, Games Ally, Kombucha and our own Kidpreneur items for sale and many other games, food and activities.
To help our 'waste free' endeavours, we encourage you to bring your reusable bags, picnic gear and coffee cups… or a gold coin for the use of the “Wash n Go” wash station to minimise rubbish. Don't forget your drink bottles!
Register online and win! Each online entry goes in the draw to win one of our fantastic sponsored prizes! To find out more and register your team, whether it be a team of one, two, three or four, a family or work colleagues - go to www.centralchallenge.co.nz...
This event is proudly sponsored by Switch Lighting, Nelson Orthodontics and Pics Peanut Butter.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
