Flipper Ball

A copy of the Flipper Notice that has gone homen recently...

Dear Parents/CaregiversYour child has expressed an interest in playing Flipper Ball for Woodstock School. Flipper Ball is  basically water polo played in shallower water.

Last term we entered a team into the Te Rapa Flipper Ball competition. This team were very successful.  We are now looking at adding in another team for the Term 3 competition.

Games are played every Sunday afternoon at various times between 2-5pm. The competition starts on Sunday 11^th August until Sunday 29^th September. Dates and times are approximate and are subject to change, by the organisers, depending upon entries.

As part of the programme school teams will get the opportunity to do some deep water skills (in the dive pool) with the Shark Attack Aquatics Ltd team.

All equipment is supplied – players only need suitable swimming costumes and a cap (if preferred, as all flipper ball caps are shared amongst all participants).

Fees for the term will be between $30-$40. Players will be invoiced once the fees have been confirmed.

Any queries, please contact me and I will try my best to answer them.

Regards

Maree Lewis

• Collect used packaging for recycling.

We will start the programme during the first week after the holidays (week beginning 29^th July)

Fonterra Milk for Schools is all about growing healthy kids and milk contains essential nutrients for growth & development.  The natural nutrition of milk gives kids calcium for building bones and nutrients they need for sustained energy, concentration and learning in the classroom.

Participation in the programme is entirely voluntary – both for school and students. At their last meeting the Board of Trustees accepted Fonterra’s offer to join the programme.
