River Monitoring Trips - Parent Help required.

Hi everyone. We have two more water monitoring trips planned around the Manuherikia catchment before the end of the school year. The following students will be on one of these trips:

-Imojen, Harry, Grainne, Cody, Millie, Lucas, Libby, Thomas, Mika, Rafferty, Mayce, Hannah, Charis, Liv and Patrick

-The trips will be happening on Wed 21st November and Tues 4th December, lead by Mr Hogue.

-We will need a parent on each of these trips, to help transport students, and to supervise the collection of data (no previous experience is required and you would be supported by Mr Hogue).

If you are able to provide transport and supervision on either of these dates please contact Mr Yeoman asap.

Thanks!

Ukelele Jam - Transport reminder

Hi everyone. Just a reminder that we need some parents to transport children to the Ukelele Jam in Queenstown on Wed November 14th. We already have 3 volunteers, thankyou, we will need some more however.

We'd also be keen to hear from anyone who has access to a people mover/van that we might be able to use on this day in order to reduce the number of vehicles we need to take to Queenstown.

Please contact Mr Yeoman by email olllieyeoman@stgerards.school.nz if you can help with either of these requests.

Thanks
