Rotorua Intermediate 17 March 2021

Festival on the Field

We are looking forward to seeing our families and extended whanau at our upcoming

‘Festival on the Field’.

This event provides an informal opportunity to interact with your child’s teacher as part of getting to know each other and building positive learning partnerships.

The event is being held on Wednesday 17 March between 5pm and 7pm.

This is an opportunity for you to bring your family, bring your dinner, make yourself a picnic spot on the grass and enjoy some live entertainment performed by current and past pupils, along with special guest items by well known local entertainers.

It is also an opportunity to chat to your child’s teacher about how your child has settled into class, as well as sharing the feedback you are receiving at home.

See you there!
