If you ordered a hoodie at the end of the term, they have arrived and may be collected from the office on Monday.

On Athletics Day we take our high jump mat and poles along to be used.   This year we need some help to get it from school to the Domain Oval and then back to school.  If you have a trailer that would fit the mat and could do this for us then please contact Julia  julia@wakanui.school.nz   It could be collected from school on Tuesday afternoon and returned back to school when convenient. 

thanks,

Julia Begg

Hi all,

We have finalised our Year 5/6 camp cost to Spencer Park. Thanks to the amazing efforts on the bacon selling from all those who got in some sales it has brought our final cost to $160 per student.

Please make payment to the school account with your name and Yr 5/6 camp as reference.

Any questions regarding payment please email the office.

Thanks

Ross and Dylan.
