Welcome back to Term Two.  Reminder our day starts at 8.50 and finishes at 2.50.  It will be GREAT to see all our students tomorrow.  For our students that swim on a Monday, please remember your togs tomorrow.  Technology for Year 7/8's starts on Tuesday, and they will travel to Dannevirke High School by bus.  All technology students will need covered shoes for this.  If you need any winter uniform please come in and check what we have.  Students will need a sweatshirt as jackets are not worn in classes. 

We wish to advise all whanau that we had a case of chicken pox reported in the school last week. If any of your tamariki become ill, please be aware of chicken pox going around. We hope it hasn't had a chance to spread and that you all enjoy your holiday break:)

Hey Everyone,

We are just wanting to reach out to all the local schools & community connectors to let you know that we will be running a flipper ball league at Wai Splash next term on Wednesday or Thursday Night, the games can be played anytime between 3.30-7pm so there may be potential for kids to have a training straight after school of one sport and still be able to play flipper ball as well, we’re keen to make it work for as many as possible being a new sport to town, we are wanting to get a better gauge on some numbers via our expressions of interest page so we can pick a night that suits the majority and we are asking if the schools are able to send out anything in newsletter or end of term stuff to parents for us.

What is Flipper Ball, Flipper Ball is a children’s version of water polo & is played in shallow water & non contact – with similar aspects from netball.

The cost is $150 per team of 10 player – there are 7 in the pool per side. The teams can come from a school or we can place the kids into a team from registration forms.  We would also be keen to get some parent helpers for umpiring etc too if there is anyone keen.

Games will be 10-15 minute halves based on age & ability, this will also determine the pool that it is played in we are thinking potentially the learner pool to begin with and then may advance to the main pool later on

There are rules & further details on our website along with the registration / expressions form and we will contact everyone over the holidays once we have better understanding of the numbers we are looking at – currently we have 20 children interested and we would love to see 60 kids to have 6 teams play in a league over term 2.

Please if you have any questions fire them through?
