Apiti School Notice, 22.09.2014
Basketball – Tuesday 23rd September
The Oroua Group
of Schools Basketball Festival is being
held in Feilding tomorrow, Tuesday the 23rd of September for the Year 3 and up
students (Years 1 & 2 students - it will be school as normal with Mrs
Cuming).
We need to be
in Feilding at the Civic Centre by 9.40 so we will leave Apiti School at 9.00am.
Students may leave straight from home or arrange pick up from home or school.
The tournament will finish by 2.15pm. We will be home in time for the bus
run. Students will need to take their lunch, a drink, their togs, a towel
and wear their school uniform including their polar fleece as it will be cold. Please find the basketball draw attached.
The day will
include visiting the Feilding Library and the Makino Pool (these activities
will happen while the other groups are playing basketball). While at the Feilding Library, our students
will be working on their essays, which will be a great opportunity to do any
research required.

students to the following vehicles :-
CLARKE :-

DIGBY :-

to please let the bus driver know if your children are not travelling on the
bus at anytime.
Ski Trip – Wednesday 24th September
Looking on the
Turoa website, the weather is looking ok-ish for Wednesday, but we will know
tomorrow if we will travel to the Mount or not on Wednesday.
A few reminders
: Please make sure that students have
any medication that they may require in case of allergies or asthma.
Anyone is able
to upgrade on the day, so if you feel this is a possibility, please make sure
you have a little extra money with you.
Please make
sure your children have a really good packed lunch for the day, including drink
and high energy snacks. There is food available up there, but it is very
expensive. There is free water available on the mountain.
Time :- You will need to
leave home at about 6.15am as we will meet at Ohakune at 7.45. We will
gather at the Information Centre / Public Rest room area on the left hand side
as you drive into Ohakune. We would like students to have a substantial
morning tea in the park and then we will make our way up the mountain just
before 8am.
We are unable
to give you a drop back home time, as it will totally depend on the weather.
If the weather packs up we will be home sooner rather than later, but if
it stays lovely, we will stay until 4pm when the mountain closes. If your
child travels with another driver, please contact that driver to make pick up
and drop off arrangements. Sometimes we
need to eat on the way home, so please check with your child’s driver if any
payment is necessary.
It is suggested
that everyone wears named gumboots from the car-park to the equipment hire
place.
Please make
sure that your children have good quality warm/wet weather gear (named and
phone No.) available to put on. Suggested equipment for the day :-
|
This is a school day so we are
expecting to see everyone up there unless other arrangements have been made.
If you have problems with any of the
above, please contact Mary or Nicki.

Hannah B, Savannah, Jackson and Alex.
