Swimming Sports

Our swimming sports have been rescheduled for this Tuesday at Wharenui Pool.  Students who have entered in the 25m and 50m races will be taken straight from technology at Kirkwood to the pool.  All non competitors will be taken back to school to do alternative activities with Mr Wall, Miss Kim and Miss de Beus (they will also need their togs please).

All swimmers will need to bring their togs to technology, along with lunch and a drink.  Please pack as efficiently as possible as there is not a lot of room at Wharenui!

Parents, you are welcome to attend - please sit along the closest wall.  We do need some time keepers, so if you can help please indicate on the form that was sent home last week.  All swimmers should bring that form back anyway, so please send it in on Monday if you haven't already.

Book Day

Wow!!!  We were so impressed with all the students who participated in Book Day and came dressed up as a character from a book. I loved seeing the children who worked together and came as a theme.  Here are some photos from the day...

There are likely to be some photos in the local paper or Star as well!!

Team RESPECT certificates

This week we had the pleasure of awarding ten more Respect certificates in our team. We have loved seeing so many students being respectful to their peers, adults and environment.

Top Team 

Top Team was lots of fun this week.  It was great seeing everyone working together, cheering each other on and enjoying themselves!

Korfball

Korfball lessons start this week as part of our PE programme.  We love introducing our students to this unique sport.  There will be a tournament at the end of the term which we will enter a team, or maybe two, into.  Then in terms 2, 3 and 4 we offer korfball trainings before school for those who wish to continue (at a cost of $2 a session) - these are completely optional! 

Have a great week everyone!
