COMMUNITY NOTICES:

SPORT NORTHLAND:

Tēnā koutou katoa,

One of the foremost desires that most of you have expressed to me this term has been for there to be a return of some  interschool and community  events so big mihi to those of you trying to get some events going or are looking for some ideas around this.

  • One cool event at the end of last year was the Te Horo School Moveathon which involved a whole two days dedicated to hauora and activity at Te Horo School.  What an awesome way to get the community together!
  • Check out this link if you want to learn more about it – Te Horo School Moveathon

Attached are the  next nuggets regarding food labels.
