Registrations at the school office have now closed but you can still register on line. Early bird registration specials are still available on line until 25th January 2018.

Our school has registered as a school group for the Christchurch Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon to be held on Sunday, 25 February, 2018 at Jellie Park. The Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is for Kiwi kids of all sporting abilities who are aged between 7 and 15. Children can enter as individuals and do all three legs of the TRYathlon by themselves or in a team of two and do either the swim/run or bike/run with a friend. 

Please check out http://try.weetbix.co.nz/events/christchurchfor more information and registration details. Those of you who have entered before should have received an email from Weetbix reminding you to register. When you register on line don't forget to link to Merrin School - this gives the school a chance to win fantastic prizes. This event was a sell out this year so please register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. There are also early bird fees for those who enter early.  You can also register a child who is not yet 7 but will be on the day of the event.

It really is a great event and very achievable for children of all ages and abilities. If you are concerned about the swimming the children are able to use kick boards and there a large number of 'life guards' in the pool to assist the children.  

There will be a Merrin School home base and it is a lovely chance to socialise with other families.
