Swimming Sports Postponed – Wednesday 1st March
Mon Feb 27 01:54pmKia ora,
Due to the current weather and the pool water temperature we have postponed our swimming until Wednesday 1st March at 1pm. If the conditions are not ideal on Wednesday for the whole school we will just run the Year 6 Championship races and we will hold a Swimming Spectacular event once the weather has settled. This will enable our students to demonstrate what they have been learning during our swimming lessons.
Fingers crossed all goes to plan and we have our School Swimming Sports this Wednesday, with our mix and mingle session over at School afterwards.
Ngā mihi,
The Waiau Team
