Important Message about Animals

If you are bringing animals to Calf Club & pet day, it is your full responsibility to ensure they are actively supervised and cared for throughout the day. Oropi School is not responsible for watching or caring for animals during the Calf Club and Pet Day. It is important that you have visibility of your animals or have your animals in a safe place throughout the day. It is often warm on the day, so we recommend that you provide adequate water and shade for your animals. Please, do not approach any animals without the permission of the owner.

Parking Vehicles with trailers and cars transporting animals can access the back field via the gate by the bus shed. Please note that access via the staff car park is not available this year due to recent earthworks by the carpark. If you do not have animals with you, please park on the road or at the Oropi Memorial Hall. Please take extra care driving on the field as it is still wet and there will be children and animals around. Scarecrow Competition

administration tent at 9.30am. Scarecrows will be judged by Julie Bingley.

number to your basket and deliver to the bars outside Korimako. Baskets must be hung in the
