40 Hour Challenge 2026 - 19th to 21st June - it's time to sign up!

The 40 Hour Challenge is just three weeks away. Sign-up forms are available from Room 3 and from the School Office.

The World Vision 40 Hour Challenge has been part of the landscape at Tahuna for at least 15 years. After attending the World Vision Junior Youth Conference at the start of Term 2 and having completed a workshop with Emma from World Vision, a group of Tahuna House Leaders and a team of class councillors are now running this year's 40 Hour Challenge for the school.

The first step is for students to get and return a sign-up form - this is so that families are fully aware of their plans. As well as the sign-up forms, we have leaflets from World Vision which help with the sign-up process.

Next, students need to choose a Challenge and get some sponsors. Every little bit counts so even if someone raises $10, they can help make a big difference. A Challenge can be completed individually or friends might choose to do a Challenge together.

This year's fundraising is to support the people of the Solomon Islands with growing their own food against a backdrop of a changing climate.

When collecting donations, students can either bring them to the School Office as cash or funds can be sent in online (or a combination of both).

We'll have some prizes for the biggest fundraisers as well as for the most creative ideas and everyone who completes the Challenge will be entered in a prize draw.

Thanks in advance to all students who plan on taking part and to all families and sponsors for their support.
