Congratulations Emirates Team NZ

There was a lot of excitement at school with Emirates Team New Zealand successfully defending the Americas Cup. Although we couldn't watch the final race at school most kids watched it while at home last Wednesday afternoon and spent the rest of the week at school Buzzing about it.

A big card of congratulations was created and sent off to Emirates Team NZ and we once again made it into the local news.

​Click below to see the card the kids made.

Thank you everyone for joining us for swimming sports. The kids loved having parents there to cheer them on as they competed in their races and they had even more fun trying to beat the parents in the parents vs kids races.

Well done to all the children who competed in the races. It's fantastic to see such strong swimmers at school and congratulations to those that placed first, second and third.

BubbleMaker

What an unbelievable opportunity for the kids. Dive Kaikoura came all the way here to run a Bubblemaker SCUBA course for the senior class. They got to experience the thrill of breathing underwater and learn new skills all in the safety of our pool. The kids had an absolute blast with the common question being "When can we do it again?". I think we may have future SCUBA divers on hand.

This week Dawn from SwimMagic in Richmond was her teaching the children skills to survive and be safe in and around the water.

The kids had a lot of fun, especially since on most days they got to swim twice!

SwimMagic will be back at the end of the year for swimming lessons.

SAiling away...

Another brilliant evening down at the lake last night. There was just enough wind for the kids to get out on the Optimists and the Sunburst and it was warm enough for jumping off the jetty and swimming fun.

Thursday sailing is open to everyone in the community, bring a chair, meat and bread for the BBQ and refreshments for yourself and come and join us - 6pm Thursday at the Water Taxi Jetty.

See you there.

Senior Paddleboarding

12/2/2021

What a great way to spend the afternoon! Rotoiti Lodge Outdoor Education Centre took the Senior Class for a paddleboarding experience on the lake this afternoon. After a few wobbly starts the kids were up and away getting the hang of standing and paddling. Of course then the fun really began as the kids were given challenges such as sitting at the very front or back of their board and trying to paddle, making a paddleboard stack and walking the plank.

A big hit was the Big Tahuna paddleboard - yes it is possible to get the entire (15 kids) senior class on to it. Moving it while standing on it was asking a bit much!

Thank you Anita, Alex and Ben from the Rotoiti Lodge for your time and enthusiasm with the kids, it was an awesome experience.

Welcome back to school for 2021. We're looking forward to a great year and have some fantastic activities planned. While the weather is good this term we'll be spending as much time as possible in the swimming pool and enjoying our new lane ropes (thank you Alan Basalaj).

Thursday evenings from 6pm you can find most of us down at the lake for sailing. Bring some meat and bread for the bbq and come and enjoy a nice casual evening by the lake.

We'll be keeping our calendar on our Up and Coming Events page updated as well as keep you informed through SchoolStream of what's happening at school.
