Cross Country
Our school cross country date has been set for Tuesday 18th August and it will be held at the Oamaru Race course.

The cross country is run in the morning only.

Basketball and Miniball Score bench Rosters - there will be score bench rosters emailed tomorrow for basketball and miniball families so if your team is on score bench duty, please ensure you turn up to do your duty otherwise the competition points do not count for your child's game. The roster ensures all families do their part to help the team and it is not left to one or two families to do it each week.
