Beach Education Day Reminder
3 Dec 2025

Kia ora,

A reminder that Beach Education Day is taking place tomorrow for all Years 1-6.  

The morning takes place at school and in the afternoon tamariki will be walking to the beach for a swim and to put the theory into practice.  They will need togs/wetsuits, towel, and warm clothes.  They may also bring a boogie/body board (they may be required to carry this to the beach).  No surfboards please.

For the parents who have volunteered, the tamariki will be leaving school at approximately 1pm and walking down to the beach.  If you could either meet us at school, or down at the beach between 1.15pm  - 1.30pm that would be most appreciated. 

Kā mihi nui,

Sam

Garden Watering Roster Summer Holidays
2 Dec 2025

Kia ora,

We are looking for volunteers to water the veggie gardens over the summer holiday period.

Lyne and Lyn do such a fantastic job of the gardens during the year, and we want to keep the plants growing well while school is on holiday. It is a small time commitment and the veggies are used by tamariki in their cooking with Lyne and Lyn throughout the year.   

If you are able to water the gardens for a week between 17th December and 2nd of February, please let me know a.s.a.p.
