The Central Challenge
The Central Challenge Family Adventure Race is Nelson Central School's main
fundraising event for 2021. Being held on Sunday May 23rd, 10am – 3pm at Central School.
This traditional School Gala and Rogaine Event in one, encourages a wide range of school's whanau, community and local sponsors to embark in some good active family fun together.
Our school places a huge emphasis on healthy, active, fundraising fun! Nelson Central School will be a buzz with the Rogaine, a 1 or 2 hour timed orienteering event with a map, clues and wild card prizes. With a Gala as well as a Rogaine there is something for everyone; hot food, baking and refreshments at the Café, picnic and seated dining, Bouncy Castle Obstacle Course, Blast Body Zorb, Games Ally, Kombucha and our own Kidpreneur items for sale and many other games, food and activities.
To help our 'waste free' endeavours, we encourage you to bring your reusable bags, picnic gear and coffee cups… or a gold coin for the use of the “Wash n Go” wash station to minimise rubbish. Don't forget your drink bottles!
Register online and win! Each online entry goes in the draw to win one of our fantastic sponsored prizes! To find out more and register your team, whether it be a team of one, two, three or four, a family or work colleagues - go to www.centralchallenge.co.nz...
This event is proudly sponsored by Switch Lighting, Nelson Orthodontics and Pics Peanut Butter.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
