Zoo trip on Tuesday 6th December
We will go on a self guided Zoo trip during the day.
Students will arrive at school between 8.30 and 9.00am so we can promptly catch the bus.
We will arrive back at school around 3.00pm.
Trip to Churton Park Reserve on Thursday 8th December and Overnight Stay
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.
All students will then go home at the end of the school day.
Those students staying over will return to school between 5.00pm and 5.30pm (in non uniform) with their gear. We will have a shared dinner altogether and then sleep overnight in the hub.
