Kia ora whānau,
An exciting opportunity has come up for our Year 4–8 students on Thursday 1 May 2025 – a rock climbing adventure at Charleston, run by Tai Poutini Polytechnic... and the best part? It’s free!
All we need to make it happen is parent help and transport to and from Charleston.
The day will run from approximately 9:00am to 3:00pm – a big day, but we’re sure it will be totally worth it!
Students are bringing home the Tai Poutini Polytechnic consent/medical form today. We’ll send more info and the school permission form during the holidays.
If you could please return the polytech form by tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday at the latest, that would be hugely appreciated.
Keep an eye on the Skool Loop app for more updates – including a possible rafting day later in the term (woop woop!).
Ngā mihi nui,
Alex
