2025 Calf Club Slide Show
Calf Club Day is an annual tradition for rural families and schools throughout New Zealand, calf club is an integral part of the Ramarama School annual calendar.
Calf Club Day encourages our children to rear a farm animal and learn the basics of animal care.
At Ramarama School we have a long standing tradition of holding an annual Calf Club Day.
As part of this day all children are required to complete a Calf Club Day project or raise an animal (a chicken, a kid, a calf, or a lamb).
In 2025 the Calf Club projects will be a photo board of Ramarama or a recycled material wind chime. You can find teh information about the projects by clicking the links below.
Along with the finished projects students must also bring in their planning and photos to show the process they used to create their project. These are provided on a template for the students to fill in.
This year our Calf Club Day is Saturday 13th September running from 9:00am until approximately 1pm. This day is considered a school day so students are expected to attend. Children with animals will need to arrive at 8:30am. Children do not need to wear their school uniform.
On the day our students, families and community members come along for a day of fun where there is animal judging (children bring along the animal they have raised), projects on display, a variety of stalls, raffles, sweets and food to purchase, games, and much more, and it all concludes with our prize giving.
Set Up:
The day before Calf Club there are lots to set up and if you are available to come along and help that would be amazing. We need helpers to set up marquees, the stalls, the hall, picking up supplies etc. Even if you can only help for an hour that would be great.
Keep an eye out for information closer to the time and let us know you are available to help.
Family Support:
Each family is asked to volunteer for an hour of time in either the set up or on the day. Look out for the rosters where you can sign up to help in a variety of ways. If we all do an hour each then we can all enjoy the day as well. Your support is always greatly appreciated!
Grocery Hampers are also one way we ask for help. There are 3 days in Term 3 where we ask each family to donate items for the grocery hampers that are used as raffle prizes on the day. You can find the information in the GROCERY HAMPER link HERE.
Sponsorship:
If you know of any businesses that may be willing to sponsor an activity please let us know. We will be looking for sponsors for the bouncy castle hire, raffles, the inflatable slides etc. The businesses that sponsor these activities can display their signage around the event and be recognised on our school Facebook pages, school newsletter and the Calf Club day booklet.
