​Kia ora e te whaanau, 

We have several additional opportunities coming up for ngaa tamariki, so we thought we'd share them all in one email. You can find information about sports on our website too, under Additional Learning. 

​Kapa Haka

We are excited to have Kapa haka beginning again this week. If you would like your child to join, please discuss it with your child and let Mr D know. Some children have already asked to join and will be bringing a note home today.

One of our parents and a Board member, Tainia, is an experienced kapa​ haka performer, and she will be leading the children, with Mr D in support. We will be starting on Wednesday afternoon and the children will have 2 sessions to make up their mind if they are going to stick with it.​ Practices will be on a Wednesday afternoon from 1.45 - 2.45pm. The goal is to perform at the Cambridge Schools' Kapa haka Festival in September, and then at various aged care facilities and early childhood centres later in the year.

​Touch Rugby

Two of our parents​, Emma-Louise and Nicole, have kindly offered to coach a couple of Touch Rugby teams (Year 3/4 and Year 5/6) so that they can participate in a Waikato School Touch Rugby Tournament on Friday 27th March in Hamilton. 

Training will be on Mondays and Thursdays during lunchtime; starting this Thursday. Some children have already asked to join the team, and will be bringing a note home today. If you would like your child to play Touch, have a talk with them and let Mr D know. 

More info about the tournament can be found here - Latest Sports Info

​Winter Sports - Netball, Hockey, Rugby, Soccer

Registrations are open for Winter Sports codes now. You can find out all the information by clicking on our website HERE and clicking on the link to your sport/s of choice. Winter sports are not offered through Primary schools in Cambridge, so you will need to sign up with a club. Leamington Rugby Sports Club is the closest to our school, so most children play for them, but you may prefer Hautapu if you have an affiliation with them already. The website has information and links for both clubs. 

​Hopefully we will see lots of our kids out there this season, giving it a good go, having some fun and building their Resilience!
