Some notes for the holidays.

Kia ora ki te whānau,

We hope everyone is getting some quality holiday time in before we return to a busy term 2. 

Swimming

Through the school donation scheme and funding provided my North Canterbury Sport and Recreation trust the cost of the lessons and buses is fully covered this year. However, to make the most of our time at Dudley we give our students the opportunity to take part in a rec swim. The cost for this to parents in $21.50 at $2.15 a swim. This is an excellent offer we are extremely fortunate to have such responsible options available to us. This can be paid via school banking or cash brought to the Te Ngahere space. Please contact office@woodend.school.nz to arrange for funds to be used from your account.

Swimming will be taking place in week 9 & 10 in the afternoons, returning before 3pm. 

Term 3 Living Springs Camp

A separate newsletter with Information around our Living Springs camp will come out at the end of these holidays. 

Emails

The best way to get in contact with Te Ngahere Teachers is via email. We will do our best to get back to you within 24 hours.
