What a beautiful day we had for our annual visit to Vogeltown School to participate in a “Tryathlon”. The emphasis is on ‘Try’ encouraging all tamariki to take part. Our tamariki pair up with a senior member of the school to complete the coarse. This is a wonderful tuakana/teina relationship. We are very fortunate to have this strong link with Vogeltown School. As this enables our tamariki to become familiar with the school and creates smoother transitions for those children who will attend. It also allows older siblings to be involved. Excursions of this nature assist in building connections within the wider community and further enhances a sense of belonging.
