Hello / Kia Ora
Coroglen
Charity Horse Trek - What a
truly magnificent day!! The weather was perfect and what a wonderful group of
riders we hosted for the day. Thanks to all of the riders who came along
and supported our school fundraiser. Most importantly we just want to
once again thank the Macdonald family for providing the most amazing venue for
this trek and for providing the guides for the day. Thanks Damon, Peter,
Clarke and Russell the feedback has been amazing! Thanks also to Kerrie, Sam,
Fiona, Teresa, Jessie, Kale, Michelle, Gemma, Hazel and the Wilderland Families
as well as Jeanne and Sue for providing the most amazing food, the riders all
raved about the catering!! Last but not least thank you Rachael for
donating the mussels and John Mountney for the very kind donation of the port-a-loo
for the day. We raised $1560 for the school with an additional donation
of $100 each to St Johns and the Westpac helicopter. Have a look at the
incredible photos (thanks Sam and some of the riders) on our Facebook page
Coroglen Charity Horse Trek. We are looking forward to next year’s trek
already. Amy
Wednesday
School Bus – The bus drops the children off earlier at Mill Creek on
Wednesdays. Parents please make sure you are there earlier, as the bus driver
drops the kids off, then carries on into Whitianga and does not stay with them
until they are collected.
EMR visit – Experiencing
Marine Reserves representative Anton Bowker took the students in the senior
room and parents out to the Pa end of Hahei and Gemstone Bay yesterday to
compare what marine life is like inside and outside of the local Marine
Reserve. Everyone who attended enjoyed the experience. Photos are by Amy Hodge
and Jessie Lockhart. For more pictures, please check out our website www.coroglen.school.nz

Notes From
Pat
Hard
to believe there are only two more weeks until the end of term. We will be busy finishing of our various
projects in the senior room.
The
children and adults were certainly buzzing about their snorkelling trip
yesterday and are all looking forward to their Pinnacles expedition
tomorrow. Many thanks to Jenny for
organising these great educational opportunities and I hope the children appreciate
how lucky they are.
Don’t forget daylight saving ends this
weekend.
Thought of
the Week
If
at first you don’t succeed, see if the loser gets anything.
Have a
fantastic week
Pat and the team
