Friends and Whanau Fundraising Committee (FWFC)
The Friends and Whānau Fundraising Committee team organises events and initiatives to raise funds in support of the school community.
Friends and Whānau Fundraising Committee
We’re the Friends and Whānau Fundraising Committee (FWFC) — a parent-run crew on a simple mission: help make St Benedict’s an even more awesome place for our students, staff, and families.
Throughout the year we organise a handful of family-friendly fundraisers — think good vibes, kids (or parents) having a blast, and the kind of events that make it easier to say hello to other whānau. The bonus? The funds go straight back into school resources that support our tamariki.
New to the school? Been here for years? Either way, you’re warmly invited to be involved. You can jump on the committee, be a helper for a one-off event, or just come along and see what we’re about. Flick us an email and we’ll let you know when our next get-together is.
Email us anytime: fwfc@st-benedicts.school.nz
