Year 4 - 6 Students will be transported to and from the park by bus.  The bus will be leaving school at 10.00am, returning to school by 12.45pm.  Our Year 7 & 8 students will be walking down and returning by bus. Students will be running in year groups, at the following (approximate) times:

10.30am - Year 7 & 8 race

11.00am - Year 6 race

11.30am - Year 4 race 

12.00pm Year 5 race                                                   

Students will need to wear their sports uniform and need a full water bottle and a warm jacket and a change of footwear if the ground is wet.

The postponement date for this event is Friday 8th of May.  We will advise by 8.00am via our Facebook page and Skool Loop should we need to postpone on the day.Please complete the permission form on Skool Loop by Tuesday 25th of April 2023.

We require several helpers to run this event, marshalling at certain points around the track.  If you are able to assist for the afternoon, please email lisa@stpatricksgm.school.nz, or advise this on the Skool Loop permission form.

Parents are most welcome to attend and support our students, although we ask that you do not drive into the grounds as the netball court car park is involved in our cross country course. Limited parking is available on Cowper Street and Turumaha Street.

For students who were advised by email of their qualification to the Grey District Athletics to be held on Tuesday 21st April, the Skool Loop permission form needs to be completed if you wish to attend. Please complete this by 8.00am tomorrow morning if you have not done so already.

Kia ora Parents/Caregivers

As part of our reporting to parents/caregivers during week three of term two we are hosting a Student Led Three Way Goal Setting Conference with teachers, students, parents and caregivers. 

What will happen at the conference: 

Students and their parents/caregivers arrive at the classroom a couple of minutes before their appointment and wait outside for their conference time.
A bell will ring indicating the end of a conference and the start of the next one.
Students will share with their parents/caregivers goals for 2026.  
 

The purpose of the meeting is for your child to share with you and their teacher their goals at school for the next few months.

All appointments for student led three way goal setting conferences with teachers are to be made directly via Skool Loop interviews, time slots are for 10 minutes.  If you have any issues with making your appointment on  Skool Loop please make contact with the school office via email office@stpatricksgm.school.nz

If you have any other issues  you wish to discuss, please make a separate time to meet with the class teacher via the school office.
