Movin’ March is coming! (4-31 March)
We are proud to be a Movin’ March school and next week we are looking forward to seeing whānau and students walking or wheeling to or from school.
Walking, biking and scooting is a great way to improve well-being, make connections, build confidence, and it’s also kinder on the planet. The students will be issued with a WOW Passport so we can stamp their walk or wheels trips at the front gate from Monday 4 March.
At the end of March, all entries will go in the draw to win one of 6 x $400 MYRIDE vouchers (you don’t have to complete your whole card to go in the draw!). If your family lives too far away, why not park a short distance away from the school gate and walk or wheel the rest of the way. There will also be lots of daily spot prizes to give away!
