Waitakere College

Market Day is today, Saturday 13 June -
Under the bubble from 10 am - 2 pm 🎉🍪🍭

A massive thank you to everyone in our community who supported the Pizza Fundraiser on Tuesday night! By ordering from Domino's Henderson, you helped turn a love for pizza into an incredible boost for our students.

Between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM, an amazing 379 pizzas were sold!
With $1 from every pizza donated, we were on track for a fantastic total - but the team at Domino's Henderson generously rounded up the donation to an even $500! 🙏

Every dollar raised goes directly to the Waitākere College Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to reducing financial barriers to education, ensuring every one of our students has access to the essential resources and opportunities they need to succeed. By grabbing a slice on Tuesday, you made a direct, meaningful impact on our students' futures.

Let’s support those who support us! Next time it’s Friday night pizza night at your house, consider ordering from the team at Domino's Henderson to say thank you for their generosity.
