He mihi mahana ki a koutou katoa
Bonjour à toutes nos familles

Southern Zone Athletics

44 of our athletes represented us at the Southern Zones Athletics competition on Wednesday this week. Despite being a freezing cold day at Newtown Park, it was a great day! Thanks to the parents who came and supported. We have a number of students who made it into Interzones, so congratulations to Sadie, Albie, George, Leila, Thiago, Sam, Greta, Charlie, Markian, Spencer, Aviry and Victor. Ridgway represent!

Staff Only Day - Tuesday 28 October

School is closed next Tuesday but we are running Rascals that day.  If you’ve tried to book and it was full, we’ve opened up more spaces so there will be room for your little rascal to join that day!

Ridgway Reboot

We’ve sold 35 stalls so far!  Remember to register your interest in a stall here. It’s our goal to get every family holding a stall or forcing someone to do it on their behalf so keep the sign ups coming.
