Waikouaiti School

Wowee! What a sun filled day at the Cluster Cross country today! To the runners - your amazing positivity, energy and determination were amazing to be part of - you guys ROCK! Thank you so very much to our amazing community helping to make this event happen. We can't have this much fun without the support of the Eastern Rugby Club, Waikouaiti Pony Club, Michelle from the Police, Sport Otago, our fab school Staff, Coffee and Cones, EOHS students marshalling, BBQ sizzlers having a banging good time and putting their fringes on the line (IYKYK), setter uppers (we even had a beloved retiree come out in -4 deg to help set up this morning!), pack uppers and friends and family supporting. Your support is much appreciated by us all. Sleep well tonight, you've earned it!

Three Peaks Cross Country Postponed

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to postpone tomorrow's Three Peaks Cross Country event to Thursday 6 August.

The forecast is for snow, sleet, and strong winds, and we believe postponing the event is the safest decision for our students. While we always aim to proceed with outdoor events whenever possible, student safety must come first.

Thank You we appreciate your understanding and support.
