Block 1 -  8.30 - 8.55 am Whanau Time

After our Karakia and roll call, we are after ideas and thoughts about what you would like to do for Activity Days. We are looking for activities that give you a challenge and fun, hopefully even something different to try. Something that is not too expensive as it is important we can all afford to go. You will get a google sheet to fill in next week with our ideas on but chat to your friends and offer your ideas to us now.
