All tamariki will travel by bus to the 70 minute session which will be held in three groups throughout the day.
Please read all the details here. Included in there is a Parent Helper Form which we encourage available parents/caregivers to complete which will ensure that our tamariki remain safe as well as enjoying their experience.
