Police Competency Test

Our Year 7-8 students will have the great opportunity to take part in a simulated Police Competency Test. Teams of four are required to participate in a series of challenges including the ‘police car push’ as well as completing the obstacle course, as used in the entry exams for new police recruits.

Quadrathon

Initial interest from Year 4-8 students have been gathered for this event and every year the interest increases with only three students of the 48 students opting not to participate.  Quadrathon consists of 10 lengths of a 10m shallow pool, 2km bike along a gravel road, 1.5km Cross Country run and a 1.2km road run.  

Quadrathon is held at Waiwera South School on Tuesday 26th November and with the team entries to be completed by Friday 7th November, please keep an eye out and complete the Google Form email requesting permission and transport requests.  

Beach Ed Day

The Year 7-11 students will participate in organised Beach/Aquatic activities on Wednesday, 11th December. So far we have confirmed that 16 students can attend surf lessons down at Curio Bay. We are currently working with other providers around the community to offer 2 other Outdoor Education activities in or around water.  We will be able to confirm these by the next school newsletter. We also need parents assistance for this to happen, to help transport all Year 7-11 students to their destination for this day. Please save the date and watch this space for more information.
