Busy Bumbles After School Care and Holiday Programme
Sadly, Busy Bumbles is unable to continue offering After School and Holiday Care as it is not economically viable. We have a few lovely children who are looking for after school home care, approximately a couple of hours a day. Payment would be made. Please contact Jocelyn Marsh at school if you would like more details.
Congratulations - Swimmers
Well done to our swimmers who went to the NZ Junior Swimming Festival last weekend. They all swam well and achieved personal best times and enjoyed the experience of the championships. Oamaru Swim Club which is one of the smaller swim clubs in the South Island was the top swim club on overall points. Excellent work. Congratulations to Elenoa Asi who got 5 gold, 5 silver and 2 bronze medals and Morgan Baillie who got 2 gold, 1 silver and a bronze.
Thanks to everyone who attended last night's meetings and it was wonderful to see a good turnout of parents. The next lot of meetings is on tonight with Miss Pope being there to register your child for winter sports. If you cannot make the parent meeting, please register your child's winter sport to the office by emailing office@stjoseph.school.nz
This year we have staff and parent/community liaisons for each sport code with the Sports Coordinator overseeing it. The Sports Committee will be meeting in a couple of weeks to look at numbers and coaches for our teams.

Swimming Sports

If we do not get our quota of time keepers, we will have to postpone our sports because all races have to be timed as we are required to send timed results away for the North Otago Swimming sports and also for our own championship trophy winners. If you are able to help in any way please email Miss Pope at sport@stjoseph.school.nz A copy of the swimming letter is included on another page in the blog.
