Hi Everyone, 

 

Just a reminder that Athletics Day is tomorrow. 

Please remember the following:

 

The programme will run from 10:30am to approximately 2:30pm. Students will need to wear their sports uniform and sneakers to school, even though normal classwork will continue until 10:00am.

Please also provide your child/ren with one item of clothing in their house colour to wear on the day. While Years 1–8 will be supplied with hats, it’s important that senior students bring their own form of sun protection. Sunscreen will be available for everyone, and students will be reminded to apply it regularly, though it will ultimately be their responsibility to do so.

As the weather can be quite changeable at this time of year, please make sure your child has warm clothing, preferably their Totara College jersey or jacket, to wear between events.

Students will travel to the Domain with staff members in the school van and private cars, leaving by 10:15am and returning to school at around 2:45pm. School lunches will be delivered to the Domain, but please ensure your child brings their morning tea as usual, along with plenty of water.

Parents and whānau are warmly invited to come along and enjoy the day’s events — we look forward to seeing you there!

 

Blessings

Danielle and Kim

Good afternoon parents and caregivers of Totara College,

This morning I made the decision to postpone our Totara College Athletics Day until Friday. This decision was made due to the forecast which, at the time, was rain all day. Since then, it has improved somewhat but we will stay with the decision now that the wheels of administration have started turning...

 

God bless 

Mr Max

Hi Everyone

 

I hope you all had a lovely long weekend. 

 

It's that time of year again. Could you please send back to school any trophies your child was awarded at prizegiving last year?

 

Thank you!

 

Blessings
