EOTC even closer now!

Thank you to all the families who are sorting gear etc with children for next week. It will certainly help the week flow better. Just a wee reminder to those few that haven't yet paid. It would be great if this could be paid by the end of the week. Many thanks. Also please ensure children have a drink bottle and plenty of healthy food next week. We won't be here for Friday Treat lunch. Lets hope the weather is kind to us - it is looking good on the long range forecast. Kind regards

Boating Safety

We were privileged to have Janine and Captain Phil (harbour master) to talk to us about boating safety. They showed us how to correctly wear life jackets, and the things we need to do to be safe when boating. 

Thank you to the HB Regional Council for organising this for us

Well Done ABs

EOTC week is Coming!

Thank you to all those parents who attended the meeting last week. The information pack will be in bags on Monday night. We would really appreciate these coming back to school as soon as possible so we can continue our planning. It is also a good idea to start thinking about bikes, wetsuits warm clothing, raincoats etc. In the past the weather has ranged from35 degree days to bitterly cold and pouring with rain. It is a fun week.
