School Swimming Sports
The school swimming sports are taking place early in Term 3.
Year 4-6 students have completed their entry forms for the swimming sports to be held on Thursday 4 August.
Parents were asked last week to complete this form for all Year 0-3 ākonga, however, a number have still not been filled in and returned - particularly the Year 2 & 3 students in Harakeke. Their carnival will be held on Thursday 18 August.
For all the details associated with the events please read Eilís' Swimming Sports article.
