Woah! It’s going to be a busy week coming up for everyone at Gleniti School.
Firstly best of luck to our Triathlon team who are off to compete in the South Canterbury Primary Schools Triathlon tomorrow. They’ll be swimming, running and biking in and around CBay and Ashbury park tomorrow morning. All the best team!
On Monday our Yr 5-8 children are all heading to CBay for our annual swimming sports. Please see details below. I’m certainly looking forward to this great event!
On Tuesday our Yr 6 students head off to the first of our school camps for the year. They are heading to Raincliff and will enjoy a programme packed full of activities.
Also on Tuesday the PTA will be transforming the hall into an Ice Skating rink. Yes, you heard that right! An Ice Skating rink. The PTA are teaming up with Ice Skate Tour to bring this unique experience to us all at Gleniti. The PTA are funding free lessons during the school day for our children. Your child will need to wear long pants and socks and bring a drink bottle. A note will come home from class teachers prior to your child/rens session. The rink will be open to the public in the evening and during the weekend. To celebrate this I’ve put their poster on the front cover this week … but with a slight twist … I’ve superimposed the faces of the children who have seen me recently for Principal stickers (they share their great work with me), to give the cover a truly Gleniti feeling!
Busy times all round!!
If I don’t see you at the Swimming sports, I’ll probably see you at the Ice Skating!
Congratulations to Reid Gamage who competed in a regional Karate competition on Saturday 2 March in Christchurch. Reid won a silver medal in kata and a gold medal in Kumite (sparring).
