Sausage Sizzle and Tuck Shop
We will have a fundraiser sausage sizzle and tuck shop at Athletics Day. All proceeds will go towards the further expansion of our new school play ground. Any donations of baking or snack food towards the tuck shop are much appreciated and can be dropped to Hansen Park on the morning of Athletics Day.
If you are available to help man the tuck shop for a short amount of time on the day, please get in contact with Leah (leah.ross@aotawhiti.school.nz) and we will create a timetable.
Help Needed
If you are available as parent help on the day, please get in contact with Leah. We are always appreciative of a helping hand with pack up and pack down, the tuck shop and other jobs throughout the day. If you have an event or interest in athletics and would like to help, please get in touch.
100m Caregiver Relay
We will be running a 100m shuttle relay with students vs caregivers. Make sure to bring your running shoes and get involved! Remember to warm up before the start line to avoid a pulled muscle 🙂
Gumboots
If you have any gumboots you would like to donate for our gumboot throw, please drop them to Hansen Park on the morning of Athletics Day.
We look forward to seeing you all there!!
