KIA ORA AND WELCOME

Matamata Primary School is located in the heart of the Waikato, a town overlooked by the Kaimai Ranges and surrounded by rivers that flow through rolling green hills. Here we have created a nurturing environment that enables our children to learn and prosper across all aspects of education and development. Our guiding principles centre on our motto ‘Endeavour, Achieve Excel – Tohenga, Taea, Tino Hira. Together with support of our community and engagement of whanau, we deliver a platform that inspires learning to help build and shape our future generations.

Just a reminder that TOMORROW is our swimming sports for our Year 3-6 students. Information went out for this previously but please see attached the programme for the day along with some other important information.

Our PTA will be selling lolly bags, Juicies and Just Juice Bubbles, please see attached photo for prices.

Our School Leaders will be collecting cash donations from spectators tomorrow for Swim4TheOcean, a NZ swimmer raising awareness around our oceans and bottom trawling, currently swimming the length of NZ. See previous post on Friday for more information.

There will be a parents relay team so feel free to bring your togs down tomorrow if you are coming to watch and feel like entering the adults team at the end of the day.

Your child needs to come to school tomorrow with their togs, towel, goggles, a sunhat and sunblock, morning tea, lunch and a water bottle. It is important they come to school wearing sunblock already, it is going to be a warm day and it does get very hot on the hill.

We look forward to seeing all of our swimmers give their very best tomorrow!
