Cross Country Today

Cross Country is still on today.

Cross Country - Friday 12th of August

CROSS COUNTRY - OUTLINE OF THE DAY

At 10.05am the school will assemble on the courts.

All races other than the Year 0/1 races go outside of the school

grounds. It is very important that cars are parked and not exiting the

school during the events.

Times on these events are approximate and we often run ahead of

time, please do not expect office staff to know which races have run or

are due to run, your best bet is to be there during the block of your

child’s race e.g. if they are in year 3, come for the morning block

before morning tea. The block of junior races are often over very

quickly.

(NB This inter-school event will be based on age rather than year

level.)

Good Citizens

Lost Property

We currently have a mountain of lost property.  This will be taken away and given to Charity in the holidays if it is not claimed.  Please encourage children to look for their belongings or pop in and rummage through this mountain of clothes yourself.  We collect more daily from around the playground.  Sadly children are not taking responsibility for their own belongings.

Mid- Winter Dip

The school council have expressed enthusiasm about having a Mid-Winter Dip.  Children are welcome to bring their togs on Friday.  They can swim at 2pm in our now very chilly pool.  Please ensure they have a warm change of clothes for afterwards.  Whanau and friends are welcome!

Cross Country Has Been Postponed

Unfortunately we have had to postpone the cross country that was scheduled for tomorrow. An overflow in our tanks and the heavy rain has caused significant damage to a significant portion of the course. We will schedule the cross country within the first few weeks of next term.

Great News

A huge thank you to all those people who got behind us and expressed concerns about our intersection.  We are very happy to hear that something will be done about it in the near future!

A big thank you to Shane Reti for continuing to put this case forward on our behalf.
