NEWSLETTERS ARE DISTRUBITED FORTNIGHTLY ON EVEN WEEKS.
Tena ra koutou ki nga hau e wha – Greetings to everybody.
A couple of Fridays ago the Support Group saw all their
hard work and effort culminate into a successful, fun
Triv night for all who attended, raising $9500 for the
school. Our heartfelt thanks go to the amazing Support
Group, all the helpers on the night, Kevin Salmon, who did
a great job as quizmaster, and all the sponsors who were
so generous. It is greatly appreciated.
This week we had some cross country runners compete
at the Whangarei Schools event at Barge Park. It was a
perfect day for it and our children were enthusiastic
participants. Our thanks go to Ms
Jan Olney for doing all the
organising for it, including training
the children. Thanks also to those
who supported them on the day.
Have a good weekend.

Cross Country
Our annual cross country was held Wednesday 22
August. Luckily the weather improved for us! It was
great to see the smiles of achievement as the children
scaled the hay bales, tip-toed over the car tyres,
slipped in the mud and generally strived to achieve their best. It was also pleasing to
see the final results from all the fitness training the children had been taking part
in, and hearing them comment how much they had cut off their initial times. Well done
to everyone for challenging themselves. That’s what it is all about!
Many thanks to the parent helpers for marshalling this event. Declan Clarke,
Andrea Moore-Boyle, Cath and David Lawson, Lisa Young, Cherie Tamahori, Jenny
Traill, Sarah Shaw, Harping and Robert Bowker.
ALSO thanks to the Support Group for organising the tea/coffee and nibbles.

Whangarei Cross Country
A team of 50 - 8, 9 and 10-
year-olds then challenged
themselves at Barge Park to
compete in the Whangarei
Schools Cross Country on
Wednesday 28th August. The
children were very well-organised and calm. The nerve-wracking part was lining
up with 130-150 other children at the start line! We are all very proud of the
way they supported and cheered for each other, and their awesome
sportsmanship.
Many thanks to Claudia
Reed and Caryn Magrath
for helping. Also to Jenny
Traill for gazebo support,
Nicky Slatter for your
help, and Ilona Harris for
providing the soothing
drum beats.
The following children now qualify to run again in the Northland event on 18th
September at Barge Park.

A very big ‘Thank You’ to Hurupaki School families, on behalf of the Salvation Army, for your generous support of the ‘Cans for Good’ project. We managed to collect over 230 cans for the Food Bank. Well done to you all! Margaret Barber
