We are fundraising to re-open and upgrade our school pool. We want our children and our community to be confident and competent swimmers!

Sunnyvale School's pool has been broken for over two years. Our children have missed out on swimming lessons, gaining confidence in the water, and learning vital water safety skills.
We need your support in order to fix and upgrade our pool so both our children and the wider community can benefit.
For many of our children this is the only opportunity they have to learn these life skills. New Zealand is surrounded by water and being so close to dangerous West Auckland beaches it is so important that our children can swim to survive.
Our children swim every day in summer and many go from being nervous and scared in the water to being able to swim 200m non-stop by the time they leave Sunnyvale. This is a goal we want to continue to achieve!
I am part of the Sunnyvale School Pool Fundraising Group.
Sunnyvale School is in the heart of Henderson. We are a school of nearly 500 wonderful pupils. Our school motto is 'Learning is for Life.'
