Upcoming Events and Notices 

ACTION REQUIRED : Senior School World Vision Fundraiser Event, Walk for Water, 12 June

This year we have an opportunity for Year 11-13 students to engage in fundraising for the World Vision 40 Hour Challenge. For this we will be walking around the Orewa Estuary during lunchtime and flexi study (Period 4) to emulate what it is like for many children around the world who walk upwards of 6km to get access to water (more than once a day). The money raised from the event will go towards World Vision's efforts to provide more people around the world with clean, accessible water. Please have a talk with your child to see if they are interested, and then complete THIS permission form which includes the payment details.  

KingsWay Cross Country Fun Run, 16 June

This event will run from Metro Park and is an opportunity to come together as Senior School this term. Students should consider using this run as an opportunity to complete this 6 km circuit to fundraise for the World Vision fundraising taking place this term. Senior School students will take part in some whānau and community activities during Period 3 at Metro Park before gearing up for the cross country run. Note that for competitive runners, this is the school cross country event for 2023. Whānau points are on offer for all participants as well as the opportunity to contribute to the global community through fundraising. Further details on the schedule of the day will follow in due course.
