Hello / Kia Ora

Ki-o-Rahi Tournament

Thank you Gemma Richards for transporting and help supervising our children at the Ki-o-Rahi tournament in Thames last week. We performed well in our first season of Ki-o-Rahi against schools who have been playing this sport for a while winning two games, and losing two games.  Well done!

  

Pet Day date change Just a reminder that Pet Day will now be in Term 4 on Saturday 18th October. Each spring our children bring their pet animals to Pet Day. Ribbons and prizes are awarded for rearing and leading farm animals (lambs, calves and kids), for other pets, for pet projects and a cup is presented for the ‘Most Obvious Pet”. We also hold the traditional cake stall and sausage sizzle. This is a day enjoyed by the whole community.
