Kiwi Swim Safe

Towards the end of last year we reviewed our school Swim Safe programme in consultation with Brenda Goulter, a Swimming New Zealand Swim Safe Educator. Brenda, as a follow-up, provided PD for the teaching staff.

We have adopted the revised Kiwi Swim Safe programme and launched this at a special assembly on Wednesday 21 March. Koru The Kiwi was in attendance.

The students will be given a school swimming certificate when they pass each module. The Kiwi Swim Safe Certificate will be given to them when they leave Riwaka School or when they have completed all the modules, whichever comes first.

Room 5 & 6 Camp Fundraising Tryathlon

All students in the school were invited to enter the Tryathlon event for a small fee.  Room 5 & 6 students collected sponsors for their efforts.  It was a beautiful day and the event was a great success.

Inter-School Swimming Sports

Riwaka Swimming Sports Finalists took part in the Inter-School Swimming Sports at Motueka High School pool on Tuesday 28 February.  It was a very cold day and unfortunately, due to the programme running late Riwaka students had to return to school before the running of the relay.

The Colour Purple

Lately some of the Riwaka School staff have really been in the pink purple!
Firstly there was plenty of purple about last Thursday on Purple Cake Day.

A change of outfits for Relay For Life over the weekend. Eight staff participated in a team of 18 which managed to raise just over $3000 for the Cancer Society.  There were some tired people around on Monday but it is a tremendous event to be involved in.  Thanks to those who made donations.
