Good afternoon, camp is going well and the children are enjoying themselves even with the rain we have experienced today.

Sadly due to the weather forecasted for tomorrow we will not be taking the risk of attempting the Tongariro crossing.
As a class we will head to Waiouru Army Museum and do the education programme and after that we will head back to school, arriving around 2:30pm. The students will be informed shortly, and while they might be disappointed their safety is our number one concern.

We have been having a great time adapting and moving around our experiences to fit the challenging weather. They have all been very well behaved. It is a pleasure to be on camp with them.

See you all tomorrow afternoon.

Regards

Wheels Day – Friday 18th November

November 15, 2022 by Website Manager

Kia ora everyone,

Here is the attached poster for Wheels Day this Friday. Students will store their bikes on the back field. Their scooters, skateboards and roller skates will be kept in their classroom. These will be used during morning tea and lunchtime.

Ngā mihi,

Run for Charity/ Camp tomorrow.

November 10, 2022 by southmakgallan

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we have adapted how things will run for tomorrow.

Students who are running for Charity/ Camp can wear what they would like for the running apsect. (If they want to dress up they can, if they want to wear a full running kit they can, if they wanted to run in gumboots/work boots/ trainers/ running shoes or even bare feet they can.

The whole school will have the opportunity to walk/ run between 11:30-12:30. Some classes are striving to run for longer which they are managing themselves.

Students need to bring a towel and change of clothes as we will be having some fun around the course with them. (This is weather dependant)

This is a fun activity getting the students out exercising and potentially raising some funds for a charity of their choice or towards their camp costs. It is not compulsory but class teachers are providing the opportunity for this to happen. We are looking forward to a great day pounding the fitness track with the students.
