Welcome to 
Waikouaiti School

Kia ora parents and whānau,

We are looking forward to holding our Junior Cross Country this Thursday 13 August at 2:00 pm on the Waikouaiti School field for Pikopiko and Harakeke Year 1 and 2 students only.

Our focus will be on participation and celebrating every child's effort. We want all students to have the opportunity to challenge themselves, enjoy the experience and feel proud of their achievement, while also giving those with a talent for running the chance to shine.

Parents are very welcome to come along and support our runners! Please remember on Thursday:

Send your child to school with a full water bottle.
Ensure they have appropriate footwear for running on grass. (Gumboots, Crocs and open-toed shoes are not ideal for the event.)

The forecast is currently looking good. However, if the weather or ground conditions mean we need to postpone the event, a decision will be made on Thursday morning and communicated through the Skool Loop app.

We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating our young runners!

Kia ora

A reminder that our Cross Country is tomorrow for students in Years 3–6.

Students should come to school as normal and will walk down to the sports ground at approximately 10:00 am.

If you are taking your child home directly from the sports ground, please make sure you let your child's class teacher know before leaving.

We Need Your Help!
If you are available from 8:30 am, we would really appreciate some extra hands to help set up the course. We are very short on helpers at this stage, so even a small amount of your time would make a big difference.

Thank you for your support!

As per our Dunedin Netball weather policy, as primary schools have been closed today, Dunedin Netball have cancelled all primary netball games at the Edgar Centre.

Look forward to seeing everyone at the final fun day next Tuesday 11 August, which will be the last day of primary netball for the season.
