Second Amberley Rellie Challenge a great success
More than 100 teams helped raised about $4500 to upgrade technology at Amberley School by completing a series of mystery challenges.
The second annual Amberley Rellie Challenge was held at the Hurunui school last month (September), featuring 107 teams of two.
Organisers say the teams, who started in waves of 10, had to complete 10 mystery challenges including a word scramble, creating a unique handshake, a three-legged race and constructing a house from marshmallows and toothpicks.
"This fundraising event is all about what we stand for as a school. Our PRIDE values are cornerstones of our school: personal best, respect, integrity, determination, and enjoyment," a spokeswoman said.
"These were all certainly shown and so cool to see so many happy smiling faces enjoying themselves with family."
The school plans to hold the third Amberley Rellie Challenge in 2020.
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?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
