Kia ora e te whānau

Our school cross country is planned for tomorrow, with a postponement date of Thursday 27 August if the weather isn’t suitable.

We are heading to Vogeltown Park for this event. It’s a great opportunity to make use of a community space, and it also allows our tamariki to experience the same course used for interschool cross country.

It is important to us that everyone gives this event a go and tries their best. Success will look different for each child – it’s not about being the fastest, but about putting in their best effort. For children who are unable to participate, they will either accompany their class to support others or, depending on their age, help out with jobs on the day.

Please make sure your child comes in appropriate clothing, has some food and drink for taking to the park, and shoes for walking there and back.

Classes will walk to Vogeltown Park together and children will be seated on the stands until it is their turn to race.  The event is scheduled to start between 9:45am and 10.00am, beginning with our older children first.

We're still looking for more helpers so if you can lend a hand please meet for the briefing at Vogeltown Park at 9:15am tomorrow morning.

If you have any questions, please start by talking with your child’s class teacher.

There is currently stop/go traffic management in place on the corner of Huatoki and Brois Sts (down the bottom of the hill from Vogeltown School).

The work is taking longer than expected and the stop/go is likely to be in place for the remainder of the afternoon.  This may cause delays along Huatoki St around 3pm.
