Saturday 25 March postponement date Saturday 1 April 2023

We have had 12 hugely successful Triathlons in the past and we are so excited that our Triathlon IS BACK! This event is not only part of our Physical Education and Health programme but it is a great way of bringing us all together, it is FUN and also our major fundraiser of the year. The funds raised this year will be going towards sealing our Bike Track.

For those of you that are new the Triathlon is held on a Saturday in front of the Surf Club. Our tamariki build up their fitness, practice riding their bikes and for some learn to ride their bikes in time for the event. Our Juniors are able to use their scooters for the wheels section of the race.

The swim component of the Tri is a short run through the water to the finish line.

Medals, Trophies and Awards
We are seeking donations towards our medals, trophies and Kura Awards. For your donation you will not only be purchasing the finish line medals for an entire year group but you also get your name/business engraved on a trophy that will be presented to our winners at the Triathlon Assembly which will be held on Tuesday 4 April.  

Sponsorship
Each of our tamariki will have an information pack come home with them, with a Sponsorship Form enclosed.   Any cash must be handed back to the school office, online payments directly into the Home and School Account 12-3254-0067575-00.  Please ensure with online payments in the Particulars field: TRI, Code: Child's name and Reference:  Room number.

Help on the day and the week leading up. (Many hands make light work)
We are asking all families and the community to help out in any way they can. Perhaps being a marshal on the course, helping out on the food stalls, selling raffle tickets or being part of the clean-up crew. We ensure that if you are helping, that you can take time out to watch your children participate in the Triathlon.

Donations
To help keep costs to a minimum we will be seeking donations for the food stall. This could be donating items or contributing some money to purchase items for the food stall. Any donations will be greatly appreciated. Suggestions of things to donate are home baking, bacon/meat patties, eggs/cheese/milk, lettuce/tomatoes/onions, tomato sauce/mustard, sugar free cans of drink or juice boxes, lollies/lollipops, ice blocks, serviettes. We will provide further details of items needed and when/where to drop off closer to the date.

We also have a Givealittle page set up, please find the link below.
