Kia ora Tolcarne Whanau 👋 With netball tournaments and late night hockey games in the rain - everyone is well and truly deserving of a weekend sleep in! This week we have certainly felt the winter weather, but were disappointed to miss out on any snow 🌨☃ Check out the snow that Ellie had on her farm in the photo below ❄❄ What an awesome snap!

Our Tuesday after school activity was a trip to Time Zone! We had lots of fun playing the arcade games, trying out ‘VR’ headsets, going on the bumper cars and winning lots of lollies 🍬🍫  The perfect trip on a rainy afternoon! Here’s the link to a wee Tiktok video for a behind the scenes look at what we got up to 🤩

Some of our students headed off to the Z Club movie night on Wednesday, watching Little Women to raise money for Brave NZ. It sounded like a great evening and the perfect excuse to rug up in pjs down at school!

On Thursday evening the Head Boarders held our Tolcarne Clothing Sale. This was such a well run event, giving the senior students the opportunity to sell some pre loved items and for everyone else to grab themselves a bargain! Well done to Kaylee, Georgie and the Tolcarne Council for making this a success 🙏👏

Next week will only be 4 school days, with Matariki on Friday. Tolcarne will be closing on Thursday at 5pm, reopening Sunday 3pm - so make sure to get your weekend leave forms in earlier than usual!

This weekend the juniors are heading to Laser Tag, which is always a highlight and a perfect option for when the weather is a bit unpredictable... Good luck to everyone competing in sport this weekend, we look forward to hearing how you get on 😍 See you all back on Monday for the 4 day week - Ma tē wā
