Support Group

The Little River Support Group was set up in 2009 to primarily fundraise for Little River school.  The group is run by volunteers from our community that enjoy giving back to our kids and helping to develop their futures.  We run several fundraisers during the year, but our main event is the Little River Pumpkin festival.  The Pumpkin festival has grown rapidly over the past few years and is a major attraction on the local calendar.

The funds raised from these events help our kids to go on a school camp every year, music lessons in school, science in the classroom provided by The House of Science. As well as sports activities, Life Education trust, Marae visit, sporting equipment, supporting practical technology learning in the class room, providing garden maintenance for school, the list goes on.  An amazing group of parents who are invested in our community to see it thrive.

The Country Pumpkin Festival (usually held around Anzac Day) is our major fundraiser each year. It is a great day and a chance for the whole community to be involved.
