Rich – Weir Cup Games vs Toko – Both the netball and rugby matches will be played at school beginning at1pm on Friday. This is an annual event with Ngaere having won the rugby challenge trophy in 2023. All are welcome to come along and support our teams.

Thank you to Greg Rowlands for coaching the rugby team and Stacey Clough for coaching the netball girls. Stratford High School have supplied netball umpires and linesmen for the rugby.

McLeod Shield / Hurlstone Cup – This is a Year 7 & 8 interschool tournament day in Hawera on Wednesday 21 August. We have entered a team in rugby, netball and soccer. Children will be travelling by bus. 

School Production: Auditions for main characters have been held and classes are working on their own parts for the school production which will be showcased on Thursday 18th September. This date has been changed from the initial Wednesday 17th Sept due to a clash of events in Stratford on that same evening. We hope to hold both a matinee and an evening performance to accomodate our families wanting to come along and watch. More details will be sent home in the coming weeks.

SPORTS UNIFORMS: Please return sports uniforms (basketball and netball) as soon as possible.  Thank you.
