Kia ora Wakanui Whānau,

Next week I will not be at school because I am attending camp with our Year 7 and 8 students. We will be in Northland exploring and learning in a different part of NZ. We will be visiting the Waitangi Treaty grounds alongside lots of other adventures. We leave Sunday morning and return Thursday night ahead of the long weekend.

I will be checking emails in the evening, however there may be a bit of a delay in getting back to you. Any problems please contact Penny in the office and she will find the right person to help you.

There's a lot happeningnnext week with the Year 5/6 camp and Year 3/4 out doors progamme + their Big Day Out.

I am resending the information regarding Agri Kids for 2027.

Please email or leave a form in the office with your details if you would like to be part of this event. I will be entering the teams on Monday 16th November, so these must be received by then. 

I am away all of next week at camp- but will check emails in the evening.

Agri Kids 2027

Wakanui would like to enter some teams for our Agri Kids Regional Event which is on January 30th at Pleasant Point.

Having just experienced our School Rural Day, this may spark some interest! Agri Kids includes an extended version of this type of activity, including knowledge of aspects of farming.

This is a parent led event which I can support the initial coordination of. If your child/ children would be keen to be in a team please fill out the following information and return to me via email or on the sheet.

A very successful day on Wednesday for our 18 Wakanui students at Counties Athletics!

Always tough competition at this level. I have information that the TOP 2 in each event have qualified for Zones in Christchurch on Wednesday 25th November (pp 26th).

We had two 3rd place getters on the day, narrowly missing out on getting through:

Tessa Grant - Long Distance

Tilly Smith-Busch - Discus

However, with Harper Bennett having won the High Jump she will be our sole representative at Zones for this year. Well done Harper!

Thanks,

Ross

Hi,

Could you all please add Gumboots to the gear list. An activity we are doing on Thursday, gumboots will be a handy option to have.

Thanks
