The PTA is excited to invite all CDPS whānau to our final community event of the year — the CDPS Student Craft Market and Family BBQ Picnic! This special evening brings together food, fun, entertainment, and an amazing student-led market that celebrates the creativity of our tamariki.

📍 Crofton Downs Primary School
🎁 Student Craft Market
Following the success of the student market days over the past two years — and after many requests — any CDPS student is welcome to host their own stall at this year’s Craft Market!
This is a fantastic opportunity for students to:
✅ get creative
✅ practise organisation and planning
✅ explore simple business skills
✅ share something they’ve made with our community
Stalls are free of charge, and students from any class can participate.
All products must be created and prepared outside school.
