We also had some children from Future Kids Ohaupo come and join in on the day. We received this

lovely letter from them after the event. Evening Sue.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for letting us come up and join in the school cross country on Friday. Our tamariki

had the best time and they talked about it all afternoon. I also just wanted to compliment the school and the students

too. What a wonderful bunch you have. I loved the atmosphere and the spirit. Everyone was so supportive, understanding

and accepting. The community spirit out there yesterday was beautiful and it was a great feeling to be part of it. So

congratulations on creating that environment and atmosphere, not only for the people there every day but also for the wider

community who come to visit. The school spirit really shone through those students and staff and it was a real credit to the

school.

We also learnt a lot from the experience and ways we can improve our trip for next years cross country.

Thank you again for allowing us this opportunity, we look forward to many more wonderful shared experiences.

Kind Regards,

Shelly Proebstel
