Y5 & Y4 Camps

In Week VI, Y4 have their overnight camp at Halkett, Thursday 23 – Friday 24 November. The following Y5 head to Wainui for their three-day camp, Monday 27 – Wednesday 29 November

As you receive your child’s camp information, please pay particular attention to the Gear Lists – these have been compiled from years of experience and are essential to ensure that your child has sufficient suitable clothing and bedding in cold or bad weather. Last year both camps were particularly soggy!

Show Weekend is a great opportunity to learn to stuff or roll a sleeping bag – and to practise several times over!

If your child has any special dietary requirements or if you have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher as soon as possible.

Y8 Independent Schools’ Dance

Permission slips for this event are overdue. Please return these to your child’s Home Room teacher as soon as possible.

Y8 End-of-Year Events’ Invitation & RSVP

All Y8 families should have received an Invitation & RSVP form for the end-of-year events: the Leavers’ Dinner, Carol Service, Leavers’ Service and Prize Giving. These forms are available from the office should you be missing one. We are grateful for the prompt return of these forms for planning and catering purposes, and by Tuesday 28 November at the latest, please, to Home Room teachers.
