Weetbix TRYathlon

We officially have a school team registered for the Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon on Sunday 28 February 2027! Thanks to mum extraordinaire Becky! If you’re registering your child, please join the school team when you register. That way we can make sure all the kids are together and supported for a great day of fun with their school mates!

You can register here:

It would be great to see lots of our school kids getting involved! . 

Any questions, please direct them to Becky (Jack's Mum) at beckymasters@gmail.com, who will be managing the school team.

Onesie Day 

This is coming up next week on Friday 11 September to raise money for Wellington Free Ambulance.  Your child can wear a onesie and bring a gold coin or you’re welcome to donate online here.  

Storytime in the library

Lucy, our librarian, hosted two playcentres for a story time at school this week - it was adorable to see all the little kiddies in their hi-vis vests and for our library to be such a welcoming place, with songs and stories!
