Year 8 Wairarapa College Open Day Outing

All Year 8’s Wai Col Open Day - Week 3

Friday 7^th August 1pm till 3.20pm.

Dear Parents and Whanau

On Friday the 7^th August from 1 pm until 3.15 pm / 3.20pm, Wairarapa College has invited all of our Year 8’s along to their Open Day.  As there is no cost to our students, I would like to take them all along to see the Open Day at Wairarapa College. 

While some of you have chosen other colleges to send you children to, it can be quite a good idea to look at all options.

The college will provide a bus and we will leave school around 1pm, returning a little late – approximately at 3.15 / 3.20pm.  So if your child goes on the bus home, can you please arrange other transport for this day?

If you do not want your child to go on this outing, please let us know and they will remain at school for the afternoon.

Regards

Lesley, Michelle and Mel

Google docs – your child has their class log-in and can find any homework etc on Google Drive.  Plus you can see what they have been doing in class if they are using a device or netbook.  We also have 5 Chrome books to use as well as our other devices. Don’t forget the Khan Academy for Maths learning.  Each student can log in using their school email address and their password.  It’s well worth trying out.

The students and adults [who are staying] will need to bring suitable footwear for our mini tramp, plenty to eat including lunch and water, warm clothes –no jeans to be worn, and thermals are a good idea too. No school uniforms.
