Ngā mihi nui, Claire STUDENT VOICE Last week was the 7aside tournament. There was only two sports you could play at Alfredton soccer and hockey. Most of the year five and six s played soccer but still had enough players for a hockey team. The soccer team only won one game, it was still a lot of fun though. Everyone in my team was hanging back at first but some people were getting in there. In the end we came third on the table. Jack SCHOOL NEW Emergency Kits There are still 5 emergency kits to be returned.please contact the school if you are not intending on doing this.
