Whitby, Porirua

The Discovery School Readathon 2026 celebrates the love of reading and raises crucial funds for the school.

Welcome to the Discovery School 2024 Readathon! Running from 29th April-10th May, two weeks creating and celebrating the love of reading!

The fundraiser aims to raise funds for the school to support teachers with classroom resources, learning and sports equipment and support families by contributing to the costs of out of classroom activities.

Children will keep a reading log of the minutes they spend reading throughout the 2 weeks. We recognise readers of all levels, so they can include time children are read to as well.

You choose how you'd like to sponsor your child(ren).

- A set amount

- An amount per time spent reading

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
