Back to the Future
|
We are incredibly proud of all the junior children for courageously performing on stage to large audiences over the last two weeks. What talented children you have! We hope you were able to come along to enjoy the show. If you were unable to attend we have videoed the show and it will be on our school website soon.
|
|
|
|
|
Our Junior Presentation was a team effort from teachers, learning support staff, office staff, grandparents, and parents.
|
We would like to acknowledge Deb Priest and Emma Alsemgeeest who wrote and directed the show. Both gave up hours of their own time to ensure the show was a success. They led the team with such energy and passion and made the show so much fun to perform.

Have-a-Go Swimming
We are excited to announce our free Have-a-Go swimming carnivals for primary aged children, aimed at supporting the progression from our water safety education program into club swimming.
Working with our Member Swimming Clubs, Swimming Waikato would like to ensure those children who have developed water safety knowledge have the opportunity to connect with their local clubs, with the aim of offering further aquatic opportunities.
|
|
|
|
Have-a-Go’s are designed to cater for all different levels of swimming ability and to ensure all participants have a fun swimming experience. Kids will also be able to have-a-go at some short races where they will receive a participation ribbon and their official time. All participants will also receive a Swimming Waikato Sports Bag filled with 'Your Next Stroke's' support and plenty more.
