Week 8 2022

As the end of the year is nearing, we have some busy days ahead.  Please check in as I will update the calendar as needed.  

Swimming Sports and Tryathlon 2022 - THURSDAY 8TH DECEMBER 

Rotorua Aquatic Centre, Tarewa Road, Rotorua

 

Information to Parents & Caregivers

Points to note:

 

We will be having a triathlon and biathlon at the swimming sports this year. The triathlon involves swim, bike and running. The run and biking will be in the park next door and will not entail riding on the road. If your child wants to participate in this they will need to bring their bike and helmet with them to the Aquatic Centre.  Bikes will be secure inside the Aquatic Centre.

The biathlon is a swim and run.

Children will choose one of these events, not both.

 

• The programme is for our middle and senior school students - Years 4, 5 & 6.

• The swimming sports will be held at the Rotorua Aquatic Centre on Tarewa Road in Rotorua.

• Years 4 – 6 students need to be dropped off at the Aquatic Centre on the day by 8:45 am.

• Swimming sports will finish at approximately 2:30pm. Children need to be collected from the Aquatic Centre by 3:00pm at the latest.

• If your child attends After School Care or they usually catch the bus home they will be picked up by bus and returned to school from the Aquatic Centre at 2:30 pm.

• Children may come to swimming sports in their house colours, they may wear their togs under their clothes. There will be points for the ‘Best Dressed House.’ Teachers will be dressing up too!

• Children will need – togs & towel, sunhat, sunblock, warm clothes, morning tea, lunch & water.

• NO MONEY as they will not be able to purchase anything while at the Aquatic Centre.

Room 3 Christmas Celebration

On Wednesday, we will be busy all day with Christmas activities. They are looking forward to having some fun. In the middle block, we will be doing baking and I was wondering if anyone would like to come in and help us. A couple extra hands and eyes would be fantastic.

You can email me - delwynb@stmarysrotorua.school.nz if you are available to help (11 am - 12.30pm)
