Umina Beach Public School students have collectively raised more than $23,000 through the school's Splashathon.

Various prizes were up for grabs for students involved.

A student from 3C raised the most money, winning a bike donated by a real estate agency.

Class 1H was the class that collectively raised the most money and scored themselves a pizza party with Salty the Seagull on June 2.

P and C president Ms Jody Reith congratulated the winners and thanked those who volunteered for the Splashathon.

A total of $27,300 has been raised through the Easter Raffle, Splashathon, Election Day BBQ and Mother's Day.

The money raised has funded many projects including new technology, classroom supplies, wifi to the Kindergarten building, guided readers, home readers, creative arts and sports programs and new uniforms for the school's soccer and rugby teams.
