Kristmas Knack Market - Craft Market
As always, the end of year Knack Market has a Kidzone, and the students run stalls to raise money for the school. This helps to fund EOTC events in 2027. The kids think of a product or service / game to sell. (Food is not permitted because it competes with the stall holders that are part of Knack.)
It’s very helpful, if parents note the date and let the teachers know if children will be available (or not) to help.
Senior Camp
QE2 Holiday Park in Paekakariki
This will be a camp where children stay in tents, parents are welcome to come along - please let Dimitra know if you would like to attend, we will be grateful for some adults to help with supervision.
School Athletics Day (all day)
We have our school athletics day on Monday 19 October at Athletic Park. We will have some practices next week. We aim to do sprint training at Liardet Park on Tuesday afternoon and then rotations of vortex, quoits and high-jump on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. If you are able to volunteer and help on athletics day, can you please let me know and I'll check in with Kylie to see how much further parental assistance we may need. Your help is much appreciated! There’ll be further updates about athletics day next week.
