Training Day
for Oroua Swimming Sports - 24th Feb
This will be held at the Makino Pool in Feilding this Friday the 24th of
February. All our
school students - junior and senior, will be attending this training session.
This is to finalise events and to practise events that they will enter into in
the Oroua Group of Schools Swimming Sports being held the following Friday the 3rd of
March.
Students will need to take their lunch, a drink, togs, goggles, 2 towels, sunscreen, sunhat and warm clothes.
We will need to leave school at 10.30 and we will return in time for the bus in the afternoon. Students will have their play-lunch in the playground when we arrive at the pool.
Students are asked to come to school before leaving at 10.30 therefore the bus will run morning and afternoon.
Please remember that if your child needs a carseat, you need to provide it for your childs driver.
If you are not staying at the pool, please make sure you return by 2.00 for pick-up. If you are staying, which you are most welcome to do so, you will need to take your own shade.

Oroua Group of
Schools Swimming Sports - Friday 3rd March
This event is
happening at the Makino Aquatic Centre in Feilding at the Feilding Aquatic Centre. There is no postponement date, the weather would need to be really bad for the sports to be
cancelled, so please come prepared.
This event is for the whole school,
but the juniors will have a programme in the shallow pool. Entry to the pool
is free. Children will require their togs, 2 towels, goggles, their
lunch, a drink, warm clothes, a hat and sunscreen. Kimbolton will sell
food and drink, the shop will not be operating.
Students are required to wear their school uniform
please.
All students need to be at the pool by 9.45.
Junior students are to meet inside the Makino on the far side of the shallow pool on the grass, Mrs Cuming will be waiting there. The students will then be divided into 2 groups. Group 1 will do water confidence while group 2 walks to the library. 11.00 will be morning tea and then the groups will change - group 1 will walk to the library, group 2 will do water confidence. Water confidence will include walking/running races, ball push, flutterboard races etc. These are fun activities aimed at enjoyment and are a chance to show parents what they can do and what their confidence levels are.
Once their activities have finished at 12.30 (lunch time), students become the responsibility of their parents and are welcome to stay or leave, but please let Mrs Cuming know if you are leaving.
Senior students will assemble in their school group outside the Makino on the grass at the Apiti School site - Mrs Ilton will be waiting there.
Students will have their event numbers written on their hands. Can parents please make sure your child is ready for their event. All individual events will be held followed by the relays. The winners of the cups will be announced and presented at the end of the days programme at which point students will be dismissed for the day. The day should conclude at about 2.00. Those parents who choose not to stay for the swimming, please make sure you return in time for pick up.
