Kia ora, the Endzone Tournament is the first day back after the Easter Holidays. Please ensure you are at school by 8:30 am ready for action. Meet Rachel and Becky on the year 7&8 netball court with everything you need. Make sure you have a sports hat that will stay on your head while you are competing, a drink bottle, lunch, a warm layer/ raincoat, sports shoes, sunscreen, and any medication you may need like an asthma inhaler.

A MESSAGE FROM MATUA

Please do not climb up or over  the fence  surrounding the Year 3/4 building site at any time. If your ball ends up inside the perimeter fence please ask a duty teacher to help retrieve it for you. Thanks  Matua and Jason the boss of the builders.
