What a fabulous day we had for Pet Day 2023. The sun was shining and everyone had fun. The afternoon activities in the pool and on the slip-and-slide were a great success. Well done to the Tai Tapu Teaching Team and well done to Kathryn Fairbrass and Denise Keno for all your behind-the-scenes organisation.
