I’m writing this at the end of two very successful events - ePro8 and Rural Cross Country. What a fantastic whirl of activity around the place, and awesome involvement from students, staff, and parent volunteers. Our ePro8 Year 7 and 8 team not only took out the interschool event, but came second at the regional finals. The only thing that set them back was a ‘build the tallest tower challenge’ as a tie-breaker when their tower (which was heading to be the winner) collapsed at the last second. Awesome work team! The Year 5 and 6 team also did exceptionally well, coming 2nd equal at the semi-final and then 8th in the final. It was fun to coach them on their building technique and ideas for making team decisions in the heat of the competition. [Read More...]

Swimming New Zealand is working with all the swimming regions across the country to deliver a one-day (approximately 2-hour) Disability Swim clinic. The aim of the clinics is to allow individuals with a disability to feel part of something and if they are new to swimming, to see if swimming is a sport they would like to get more involved with. Swimming New Zealand is running the Bay of Plenty clinic at the Rotorua Aquatic Centre on 15 July 2022 (in the school holidays) for ages 8+.

See below a message from Graeme Young from the KKT requesting help for the upcoming work day: Hi Kaharoa Supporters. We are approaching our critical period of the year with our pest control operations due to start in mid-July. Only 2 months away! All going well around that same time there is a capture of a few Kaharoa kokako to be translocated to Kapiti Island as part of a gene safety bank. So that means clear access is critical for both of those operations. Most of our bait line tracks have a volunteer assigned to look after them (adopt-a-track) and they should be finding the time to get out and clear their lines and fix any issues with their bait stations or track labelling. ...
