Jessica and Kaisa

Kia ora koutou

We welcome Jessica into Tūpari, and her family into our Omihi whānau.

It was lovely to have Greta Valley School join us last week to have a game of touch. We enjoy a bit of steady competition, and also the opportunity to collaborate with our neighbours. We are looking forward to going to Greta to try out their new soccer nets!

We hope to see you at our cross country this week (now on Thursday). We are so proud of how our tamariki have been training and persevering with their running.

School Notices

Year 1-8 Cross Country - Postponed until Thursday 8th June
Our whole school participates in the Small School Cross Country with Broomfield and Waipara School. Broomfield School organise this and this year there is a new location - where Onepunga meets Holleth Hills Road (about 2.5 km from Broomfield School). There will be lots of signage. No Dogs are permitted to be on this property. Year 4-8 children that qualify will then go onto the Kowai Cross Country on the 13th June at the same place. All info, including maps is here.

We ask that you pick your child up from school by 11.30am on the 8th to go to the cross country. Further times are below. We also need one parent to be a marshal. Please let Penny know if you can help. You could share it with another parent to ensure you see your child race.

12.15 pm - Marshal Briefing 
12.20 pm - Students & Parent Briefing
12.30 pm - Races start (Year 1 is the first race, through to the Year 8’s)
