KIA ORA AND WELCOME

Matamata Primary School is located in the heart of the Waikato, a town overlooked by the Kaimai Ranges and surrounded by rivers that flow through rolling green hills. Here we have created a nurturing environment that enables our children to learn and prosper across all aspects of education and development. Our guiding principles centre on our motto ‘Endeavour, Achieve Excel | Tohenga, Taea, Tino Hira'. Together with support of our community and engagement of whanau, we deliver a platform that inspires learning to help build and shape our future generations.

Athletics Day Update

At this stage we are still going to plan with both our 5-6 year old Give It A Go and our 7-11 year old Athletics Day tomorrow. 

Due to the ever changing and unpredictable weather, there is a chance that the programme tomorrow will be altered to accomodate the weather, this decision will not be made until tomorrow and will probably be ever evolving as the day goes on. 

We will do our best to keep Facebook and Skool Loop updated with any changes. There is a chance that our 200m heats will be pushed to the afternoon and we will start with the 10:20am round first up, again this decision will be made tomorrow morning. 

Until then, it is all go!

With the worsening weather forecast later in the week, our Athletics Finals Day may need to be cancelled, if this is the case, heat times from tomorrow will be used to determine placings and entries for Interschool Events. More information around this possible change will come later in the week as we continue to monitor the forecast. 

The weather is totally out of our control but we will do our best to ensure we get through as much as possible before it becomes too wet or unsafe. 

Many thanks, 
Mrs Bateman
