⭐️Our DAFFODIL DAY MARKET is a special way Motupipi School is “Making a Difference Together”

Daffodil Day has been a wonderful annual tradition in the Motupipi School Calendar for many years. Each year we hold our legendary, Daffodil Day Market for The Cancer Society.

Each class, as part of our enterprise topic, plans and creates items to sell and organises games to play for the afternoon as a fundraiser. Our aim is to raise money for The Cancer Society. Cancer has touched the lives of many families and so is such a great cause.

Over the years, we have raised A LOT of money:
🌼2025: We raised $2285.95 for The Cancer Society
🌼2024: Wow, $2368.00 raised for The Cancer Society
🌼2023: We raised $1828.60 for The Cancer Society
🌼2022: A total of $1546.76 raised for The Cancer Society
🌼And lots of money raised also in previous years!

Students will be running stalls and games as well as having time to participate in the games and food for sale.

🗓️Please mark your diaries to come and join us for the afternoon - Friday 28th August, from 12pm. Bring cash (exchange for tokens on the day) to purchase items and food from stalls - with all money going to support The Cancer Society.

🎉 Welcome Back to Term 3!

We hope everyone has had a safe and relaxing holiday break. We can't wait to welcome all of our students back to school tomorrow (Monday 20 July) for another exciting term of learning.

We have a School Values focus of Responsibility this term as well as a focus on Making a Difference Together. We look forward to exploring ways that people contribute to making a difference, as well as preparing for our awesome annual Daffodil Day fundraiser for The Cancer Society on Friday 28th August (more on this over the next few weeks).

We’re looking forward to seeing all of your smiling faces back at Motupipi.

See you tomorrow!

✨ Recently, we had an amazing day of Interschool Rippa Rugby with all the primary schools in Mohua — Motupipi, Central Tākaka, Tākaka Primary and Collingwood Area School. It was great to play our friends from the other schools. Everyone displayed fantastic sportsmanship, and there was some great competition throughout the day.

A big thank you to everyone who came along to support our students. Thanks also to Joe from Tasman Community Rugby for organising the event, snd TPS for hosting us all 🏉
