Tētē Athletics

Children should come to school wearing their house colours and are welcome to use the event as a ‘dress up’ day and wear funky outfits if they wish. Please make sure they bring a water bottle, sun hat and sunscreen.

We would love to see as many whanau members as possible at the Athletics Day and you are all more than welcome to attend. In the morning the children will rotate (in classes) through a number of events: Discus, Long Jump, High Jump, Hurdles, Shot Put and a fun activity.
