Friday the 11th of November was a significant day on the TCAS calendar as we welcomed back Pet Day after not being able to host it last year. There was an assortment of animals and students both large and small, tackling challenges such as obstacle courses, dress up, leading, grand parade and don't forget the curly questions from the judges! It was phenomenal to have the community support and to see a strong turn out in support of our animal loving students.

All the event ducks were in a row thanks to the amazing planning of Alyssa McDougall and the 2022 Catlins Area School Pet Day Committee. Thank you for your countless meetings, phone calls, organisational skills and help, it would not have been the success it was without you.
