He mihi mahana ki a koutou katoa
Bonjour à toutes nos familles

Tournament of Minds - Success!

Well done to both teams who achieved merit in this tournament.  Amazing work! Thanks also to the parents who came along and supported the teams. 

Floorball

If your child is interested in playing Floorball in Term 4, let Sarah know and we will see if we can get enough players to enter teams. Games are on Tuesday after school at Ākau Tangi. 

Tennis Competition at the Renouf Centre

Year 6 and under are on Tuesday 24th September from 8.30 (back up day Friday 27th).
Year 7 & 8  are on Wednesday 25th September at 8.30am (postponement day Thursday 26th). 
If your child is keen to play, email Sarah and we will register them. It will be the parent’s responsibility to get the child to and from the competition and supervise them but when we get the names in we can connect the parents to see if they can combine forces. 

Hoodies

Here’s the link to the merch! This price is a one off price that we have managed to get through contacts (thanks Becks 😍). If we do another print run the price will certainly go up!
Order yours today and get it at a reduced price. The cost is $65 for child/youth sizes and $70 for the adult sizes. 

Onesie Day - next Friday 

Dust off that Onesie and pop it on for Onesie Day next Friday. You can donate to the Wellington Free Ambulance using this link! (Only if you’re able, we recognise there has been a lot of fundraising lately!)  We have a target of $200! 

Babysitter available

If you’re looking for someone to do some babysitting, Maike is still available afternoons, evenings and in the school holidays too. You can get in touch on 027 330 9599.
