What a great day we had - the rain held off and apart from the strong wind which stopped us putting our tents on the beach FUN was definitely had!

We had 80% of our children participate in this years Triathlon.

Room 2 had 100% of their class there on the day to race (They received a special prize along with Room 1 and Room 13 who were only just two off that - Congrats)

There are always many people we thank because without them events like this just wouldn’t be possible so if I miss your name, I do apologise but know that we are very thankful.

Helen Watts and Hannah Smaha our wonderful Home & School Team gave HOURS of their time and talent to ensure the Tri could happen Thank you so much for your Labour of Love!

To all those that attended, those that helped us to MARSHAL our track and to those that helped with the FOOD - Thank YOU!

A special THANKS goes out to our staff, who not only helped our tamariki prepare for the Tri but gave of their time freely on the day to ensure our tamariki got this awesome experience. Awesome work Team
