Newsletter Week 8, Term 3, 2020

Kia ora e te whānau,

Hasn't it been wonderful to see a bit of sunshine ☀ these past few days! This has certainly made a change to not only our soggy fields but also to our moods! Feels like spring is well and truely in the air. 

The decision to delay our cross country was clearly the right one. What a beautiful day to have a run. Apologies that we were not able to open our gates to whānau on the day - Alert Level 2 restrictions prohibited this from happening. I have included some of the photos from the event in this newsletter so please enjoy!
