Tomorrow our whole Kura will be travelling by car to the Science Roadshow at Huia Range. Please ensure your child is at school by 8.50am as we need to be in town by 9.20am for our time slot. If you have notified us that you are taking your own child/ren in, can you please let me know if you are going directly to Huia Range so we are not waiting at school for you.
