Swimming Pool Keys

Pool keys cost $50 per season and can be purchased from the school office. This is an increase on past years to cover our costs of running the pool over the school holidays and to have a new lock for the gate and keys cut. On returning your key at the end of the season, a refund of $10 will be given. All children under 12 years old must be accompanied by an adult as per school policy.

Senior room Rotorua trip

Last week’s trip to Rotorua was full on from the time they arrived to the time they left with all kinds of exciting, educational and fun activities. From Wingspan- seeing big birds of prey up close and getting to hold them and watch them in action, climbing a mountain, descending into the crater down a scree slope then having to climb back out again to, fun on the rock wall, walking around the blue and green lakes, also walking the Waimangu Volcanic Valley and a boat ride around Lake Rotomahana and the Mitai Concert experience and hangi plus amazing springs. Also the Buried Village, Rainbow Springs and the Big Splash, The Gondolas and Luge. It was jammed packed and well worth the money!

Thank you to Ms Upsall and all the parents and students who made this year’s Rotorua Camp the best ever!

Have a wonderful week,  Penny & the team
