Hello all,

We are very excited to be sharing our COUNTRY FAIR COLOURING COMPETITION, proudly sponsored by Paperplus Helensville Select.

Your child will come home with a colouring page this week to colour in if they would like to participate and enter.
Another great long weekend activity! ;-)

There are 4 age categories with prizes to be won, which will be judged by Paperplus.
1. Ages 0-4
2. Ages 5-8
3. Ages 9-12
4. Ages 13-18

 

These can be brought in any time next week, or handed in to the Colouring Table stall at the Country Fair Saturday 31st October.

The pages will also be available on the day, and there will be some in the office until then for any siblings who would also like to enter!
