Swimming sports
Date: 19th March 2024
Time: 9:30 am to 2:00 pm
You are most welcome to join us for our Te Puna School swimming sports at the Memorial Pools on Tuesday the 19th of March. Students will be transported to and from the pool complex by bus.
A full lunchbox and a water bottle are essential items, along with swimming gear, (two named towels are preferrable), sunblock, a hat and a warm layer -it can get chilly in the pool complex if there is a breeze.
Students will be pre-entered in competitive races with non-competitive options running also. Students will be entered into competitive races by staff who will have assessed your child's swimming ability and confidence. Your child will let you know what events (s)he is entered in to and if you have any concerns or queries regarding this, we invite you to have a discussion with Alexia at sports@tepuna.school.nz by Thursday 14th March.
We would love some helpers to help time and record the swimmers in each lane. If you can help out on the day we would love to hear from you before the big day. Please contact sports@tepuna.school.nz or samo@tepunaschool.nz
