Can parents at bus drop offs please ensure their children are not trying to race onto the bus as the bus is pulling up to the stop. Please make sure your child does not approach the bus until it has come to a full stop.
CALF/LAMB DAY

TARANAKI TROPHY
Well done to the netball and football teams today who competed in the Taranaki Trophy Y7/8 comp. The netball went through unbeaten, and we now get to hose the final later this term, and the football team won their first (and i think last?), with a few losses in the middle. Thanks heaps to the parent support for the day, and those who transported students to and from school.
AIMS GAME BASKETBALL RAFFLE
Aims game basketball raffle is in the office $2 a ticket. See flyer down below for more details.
LIFE EDUCATION NEXT WEEK
Yes, you heard it correct, Harold is back after a few years away from Auroa. The Life Education bus will be parked in the school courtyard for most of next week as the classrooms run through the program.
BNZ KIWI-HOOP PROGRAM
Thank you to Drew from Taranaki Basketball who has delivered the BNZ Kiwi-hoop program to our girls.
Drew has done 3 sessions with the girls and brought basketballs for them all. The girls have learnt some new skills that they will be able to take away with them to their Aims Games tournament.
