Let’s Get Movin’ in March!
It's almost March and that means it's time to get organised for Movin' March.
If you aren't already doing so get walkin' 'n' wheelin' to and from school, get your passports stamped, get active and help out the environment all in one go.
This year, all tamariki will also be given a passport to take home as a reminder, with the added advantage of being able to fill it in with activities over the weekend.
For all the details please read Kirat's Movin' March article.
