Tough Kids Update
Kia ora everyone,
Could parents who are taking students to tough kids please meet at school by 9am. We will be looking to leave at 9:15am at the latest. Students to come in mufti. Please make sure they have a spare change of clothes, plastic bag (or of the likes to put the clothes warn into), a towel, lunch + water bottle, cash if you were wanting them to get some food.
If you could please let Matua TeeJay tcampbell@southmak.school.nz know if you are taking your child/ren to the event straight away that would be great as we need to put their information on their hand prior to start time.
Thanks again to those that are helping with transport. It is really helpful. If you are wanting to help with transport and didn’t put your name down that would be amazing, too. We need the spaces for tomorrow.
Event Date: Friday 9th September 2022
Event Venue: McIntyre Reserve, Otara Road, Ohingaiti
Event Time: 10am – 1.40pm (approx)
Ngā mihi nui everyone looking forward to the big day!
Ski Trip Cancelled
Kia Ora Whanau,
I had sent emails out but am aware some people may not be receiving the emails:
Kia ora Whanau,
Many of you will be aware of the snow season on Mt Ruapehu coming to a sudden halt last week.
We have been in constant communication with Tukino Ski Field and while they remain very optimistic about getting some spring snow storms they have lost all of their snow base at present.
With this in mind and knowing what is even available at Whakapapa and Turoa we are going to make the hard decision early and cancel the Ski experience for 2022. While this is disappointing I feel it is the best decision, making sure the students get the best experience possible.
We appreciate there are students who have been waiting two years to get to the snow and it just seems we have had rotten luck with Covid in 2021 and now warm weather.
We will look at setting aside a date for 2023 and will work on gaining some fundraising opportunities to support this trip in the future. Those who have funds from the previous fundraising could be transferred to end of year camps. Please let me know if this is what you would like to do with the fundraised money.
Ngā mihi
