Time: Long Break 12.55 pm to 1.35 pm
Location: Hall
Last Saturday’s Kids Christmas Movies
A great way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon!
126 kids munched on popcorn, ice blocks and pizza while watching the Christmas themed movies of Shrek the Halls, Merry Madagascar and Home Alone – the event raised almost $1,000 and was a great way to start getting into the Christmas spirit!
UE Mega Box Soiree Auction Prize – Happy Kids!
Their faces say it all, two very excited kids with the UE Mega Box they won through the Soiree Prize draw, run by Julie Kennedy.
Huge thanks again to Julie Kennedy from Barfoot and Thompson Kohimarama Branch who was our primary sponsor for the event.
Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon – 10 Feb 2019
Registrations for the Weetbix Kids TRYathlon in Pt England on 10 February are now open and we have registered Kohimarama School as a school group for 2019. Make sure you join the group when you register and we will have a tent and some other goodies set up for the kids at the event. (Further details to come.)
