Good morning, whānau! 

Today we are holding a Gumboot Fundraiser to support young people's mental health. 💛

We are asking students to bring along a gold coin donation to support this important cause.

A few reminders:

This is NOT a mufti day – students should wear their normal school uniform.
If students have gumboots, they are welcome to bring them along.
We will be having lots of fun in the afternoon with some gumboot activities, including:👢 Gumboot toss
🏃 Relay races
💦 Gumboot fill
Let's come together, have some fun and support a great cause!

Thank you for your support, whānau! 💛
