Football lessons started at Bradford School today — hooray! ⚽️

Even though it was a terribly blustery day, with the trees happily waving at us, everyone had a fantastic time!

A big thank you to Keegan from Southern Football for teaching our classes such a great lesson. We’re already looking forward to the next two Wednesdays! ⚽️🙌

What a fantastic start to Term 3! 🌊

For the first two weeks of term, Bradford School enjoyed swimming lessons with our new provider, JC Swim School, and what a success they were! The instructors catered brilliantly to the different abilities and confidence levels of all our tamariki, and the progress made over the fortnight was outstanding.

Travelling by bus to the Dunedin North Intermediate swimming pool was an exciting adventure in itself, adding to the experience and creating plenty of happy memories.

A huge thank you to our wonderful whānau for ensuring your tamariki came well prepared each day, to our bus drivers for getting us there and back safely, and to the family members and supporters who came along to encourage our swimmers.

The smiles, growing confidence, and new skills we saw over these two weeks were incredible. Our tamariki are already looking forward to swimming lessons again next year!
