"We think it's a good cause and wanted to help."
Blake said his teachers were impressed by how the group came up with the idea themselves.
"They're pretty proud of us. They think what we've done is pretty cool."
The group intends to run a similar fundraiser in the future, but hope teachers will take to the stage next time.
"It would be pretty funny to see our teachers sing and dance," Sam said. Twelve-year-old Alice Croucher was named the winner of the competition during a recent school assembly.
Her singing and guitar performance received the loudest applause by her peers.
Alice said she was thrilled to have earned the title of Kaharoa's Got Talent winner.
"It was really uplifting when I heard the whole school cheering and applauding and to hear that I won was just amazing," she said.
Alice has been playing guitar since she was about eight and said it was her dream to become a singer and musician.
This week Alice performed for staff and patients at Rotorua Community Hospice, while Blake and his group of friends handed over almost $70 to the charity.
Rotorua Hospice funding and development officer Jan Morgan said she was very grateful for the pupils' efforts.
"It's an amazing thing for such young children to do," she said.
"I think the boys did an incredible job and we're so thankful."
She said Hospice relied on the community to help fund the service, as less than half of the $1.5 millon it cost to run it annually was provided by the Government.
