Kia ora whānau,

Just a reminder that our Picnic Day is happening Thursday 11 December at Memorial Park Pools! Here’s what you need to know:

Students can arrive in their P.E. gear and report to their classrooms at normal time to be marked off the roll.

It’s expected to be a hot day, so please make sure your child brings:
- Sunblock
- Water bottle
- Swimming towel and gear
- Suitable footwear (school sandals or shoes) for walking down to the pools.

Students will have the option of pizza for lunch, but please also send a normal packed lunch to keep energy up for a full day in the sun.

A huge thank you to those parents who have offered your supervision - you have make it possible for us to go to the trip.

We’re looking forward to a fun day at the pools! ☀️🏊‍♂️
