There are many opportunities for your tamariki to get involved at St Francis.

Kapa haka 8am in the Hall - Thursdays

Kapa haka started this week. We were thrilled with the turnout. Term 1 is a time for children to come and see what it is all about - they don't have to make a commitment until Term 2.

Running Club

Next week (Tuesday 2 March) we are starting the SFOA Running Club for students in Years 5-8.

Students will need to be at school at 8am in their sports gear and will need to bring their school uniform to get changed into after.

We will initially start running at school on the back field, then as the term progresses we may decide to move to Walter Park, if there is enough interest, if this happens we will get in contact with you first.

If your child would like to participate in this club, please fill in the following google form by Monday 1 March.

Please note: In order for the children to be able to compete in the competitions in May and August and because of the high interest in this club we will be checking on the child's readiness for the competitions by audition. They will need to know the whole routine and confidently be able to perform this by March 30. Prior to this Nicola will be working with the children to teach them the routine. The practice for this is Tuesday morning at 8am in the hall.
