Kia ora,
Please complete the Permission Form for the Beach Education Day in the Forms section of Skool Loop.
What: Beach Education Day. This is a beach safety programme run by Surf Lifesaving NZ. The morning session will take place at school and the afternoon will involve an in-water activity at Warrington Beach.
When: Thursday 4 December
Who: All years 0 - 6
What to Bring: Togs, towel, wetsuits (if desired), boogie boards.
We will need parent volunteers to be in the water for the afternoon session. I will confirm the time once I have heard back from Surf Lifesaving, but it usually from 1pm - 2pm. If you are able to help, please let Sam know a.s.a.p. If we do not get enough volunteers, we will have to cancel the session in the water (the morning session will still go ahead).
Kā mihi nui,
Sam
