Kia ora whānau,

We are looking forward to EOTC week! Here is the link to the previous article sent out about camp that includes an outline of each day.

Parent helpers:

Thank you to everyone who has offered to help with our camp. You will have already received an email about when to meet us for either the overnight or zoo trip.

The total cost for day trips and overnight stay is $31.50. This includes a cost of $19 for the day trips and $12.50 for dinner on Thursday and breakfast, morning tea and lunch on Friday.

The cost will stay at $19 per child for students not staying overnight. The day trip costs includes the Zoo entry and bus costs.

Payment:

Invoices for this camp have now been added to student accounts in the online shop. Payment must be made in full by Friday 3rd December to enable your child(ren) to attend.

  • Between 12:30 - 2.45pm students will walk to Churton Park Reserve and have some playtime there.
    

  • We invite parents to join us during this afternoon. You can meet us outside Harakeke at 12.20pm. Please fill out this form to let us know that you intend to join us. We may require some help to carry sports equipment across to the park and cross roads safely.
