Cross Country
At this stage the Taranaki Cross Country in Hawera, scheduled for Wed 23rd Sept is in limbo and will only proceed if we are in Alert Level 1. Children will be advised when we know more.
Sports Skills
Next term we also hope to participate in the 'Small Sticks' Hockey programme through Taranaki Hockey which will enable all classes to have 4 focused sessions as well as PD for staff.
We are also lucky enough to have Basketballer Willie Banks available before the end of term to come in to school and work with children interested in the sport.

School Photos
School photos will take place on Monday 21st September.
Envelopes will be available from the office next week on a pre paid basis.Family photos are available for children attending school only.
Rich - Weir Cup Matches
Pet day
At last night's PTA meeting it was decided to have a much more family friendly day for pet day this year. This means it will not be used as a fundraising day and that there will not be the usual array and assortment of raffles or food stalls. Instead the day will focus on children and their pets, lambs or calves with a sausage sizzle available for purchase.
A reminder to children to please get their entry forms in to the office before Friday 18th Sept.
Children will still be involved in creating their crafts in the days leading up to Pet day and these will be on display for parents to view.
More information next week.
