Beginning of term activities make for a busy time balancing dates on calendars
for all of us; we include key dates in our newsletters. The hot dry summer
doesn’t seem to be slowing down and with drought conditions water will become
very precious over the next month.
Classes are settling into routines including enjoying a swim every day in our pool.
Yesterday was another amazing day for our School Swimming Sports. I was
very impressed with the organisation and how the day ran, thank you Mr
Higgison! The tamariki all enjoyed their day, with many taking the opportunity
to push their boundaries.
Congratulations to those swimmers who qualified to compete at the Zone
Swimming Sports with Parua Bay on the 10th of March. We are excited to be
hosting this event, which will be an opportunity to showcase our new facilities.
Great to hear all the positive comments from parents about our new swimming
complex, and how the day was run. A special thanks to Greg Ferrar, our
caretaker for preparing the pool.
Aubrey won with the most House points and the parents/teachers bet the
children in an exciting relay race.
We hope to see you all on Sunday at the Funky Fish, good luck to those who are
fishing!
