All games are played at Stanmore Bay Pool and Leisure Centre

If your child is interested in playing, please email bporter@waitoki.school.nz as soon as possible so teams can be organised.

Bookings are now open for 3 Way Conferences (Student/Parent/Teacher) at the beginning of Term 3, Week 1 on Tuesday 21st July. School will close at 12pm on that day and individual meetings start at 12:30 pm until 7:00pm. The purpose of these conferences is to share and discuss assessments, answer any questions from the report, and for your child to share their learning and talk about their learning goals. Tamariki play an important role in these conferences. Appointments can be made through the Skool Loop App under interviews.
