Halloween Disco
Friday November 7, 2025
Year 0-3 5:00pm-6:00pm
Year 4-6 6:30pm-7:30pm
Tickets are $5 and are on sale via mykindo.co.nz
We hear the kids are pretty excited about the prizes for ‘creative costumes’ and ‘best dance moves’ and Best Colouring Contest.
- Water and a snack will be supplied to the children.
- A friendly reminder that for security of our young dancers, parents are asked to remain outside the hall during the disco. We will ask you to enter to collect your child at the end. For safety, children will need an adult with them to exit the hall after their dance, so please arrange for someone to collect your child.
Tickets
Ticket will go home before the event on Wednesday 5th, so please check your child/ren’s school bags. Ticket sales made after Monday 3rd will not receive a paper ticket but will be on a list at the door.
Please bring your ticket and show it at the door to make entering the hall quicker for all (but we will have a list of names in case you forget your ticket!)
Volunteers
This is a MENPS community event run by parents and supported by the school. This event can't run without parent volunteers. We are looking for volunteers for the harder to fill roles first. These roles are the building blocks to a successful community event and there are simply not enough PTA members to fill these role.
1. Event coordinator
We need someone to put their hand up to lead this event. We already have a group of keen volunteers in a WhatsApp group, we always get plenty of helpers with this event and we’ve run it lots of times so there isn’t much to this job. We need someone who can make a few decisions, direct helpers for the decorating/pack down and make any improvements they see fit from previous years. This role is perfect for a Year 3 or 4 caregiver and your kid(s) will think you’re a legend for being in charge of this fan favourite!
2. Decorators
Time: At least 1 hour between 1 and 3 pm
Can you lend a hand to decorate the hall? You’ll have the chance to go through our boxes of decorations and set up the space. Your creativity will help create a spooky yet fun atmosphere for the kids!
3. Between Disco Clean Up
Time: Between 6:00 to 6:30 pm
Can you stay a bit after the Junior Disco and help clean up? This involves sweeping the floor, removing rubbish and recycling pizza boxes to get the hall ready for the Seniors.
4. After Disco Pack Up / Clean Up
Time: Between 7:30 to 8 pm
Can you stick around after the Senior Disco to help pack up and clean? If you’re picking up your Year 4-6 child(ren), consider bringing them and their friends along to help out! Tasks will include taking down decorations, general cleanup and returning items to the PTA room.
Interested in Helping?
Please fill in your details at the following link: Parent Help Roster Halloween Disco 2025.
We will also call for volunteers to help inside the hall at the disco next week -as these roles always fill up fast we will provide early access to those volunteers who sign up to one of the above roles first. We have delayed the release of the inside the disco jobs because we still need many more volunteers for Decorators and Clean up crew. Please sign up to one of the above roles by the end of Tuesday, October 28th!
Your support is essential for this event’s success, and we appreciate any time you can contribute. This event can't happen without the collective effort of our wonderful parents. Thank you for being a vital part of the MENPS community!

Our annual Halloween disco is one of our most popular and much anticipated event for the kids! However, we’ve observed in the past that it can be slightly overwhelming for some new entrances who have never attended before, especially as it is a child only event. So, at this year’s Halloween disco we would like to offer caregivers of year 0/1 the option of purchasing an adult ticket to stay in our newly designated “quiet space”. This will essentially be an area with access to the hall that parents can hang out in and if your child needs some time out from the disco, they can come in to find you for some reassurance.
Note that you will not be able to see your child in the hall from the quiet space and with this option, caregivers will not be allowed to enter the hall (with exception of parent helpers) but your child can freely come in and out of the quiet space directly from the hall!
Capacity is limited so please only purchase a ticket if needed and only 1 caregiver can purchase per family. We have only opened this up for year 0/1 parents - however if you have a child in an older year level that may require some support, please email menpspta@gmail.com.
End of disco procedure
At the end of the disco, the children will need to remain inside the hall until collected.
End of Disco Procedure
Children will be seated in the hall on the lower section, parents will then be allowed to enter the hall to collect their children and leave.
Thanks for your patience while we ensure that each child gets home safely.
