Dear Parents

As you will be aware Room 6 is going on camp in April. We will stay at the Te Rau Aroha Marae in Bluff on Sunday 3rd and will then travel to Stewart Island on Monday 4^th. We are looking at taking approximately 8 parent helpers plus myself. We will need parents who are willing and able to give up a week of their time to come with us. If you are interested in joining us on what I’m sure is going to be an awesome week at Rakiura Stewart Island please complete the form below and return it to school as soon as possible.

Please note that it is Board of Trustees policy that all parents who attend camps must be Police vetted. Depending on the number of parents keen to come it may not be possible to take everyone who is keen, we will cross this hurdle if it arises!

Thanks!

Ollie Yeoman
