PB4L Fun Day

26 Nov 2025

Hi all,

I am in the process of planning the PB4L fun day, which this year will be held at Kairakau Beach on the 9th of December. Before I confirm all of the activities, I need to gauge whānau involvement for ratios and safety purposes.

Can you please text me on 027 858 4228 or PM @PrincipalElsthorpe on Facebook to let me know whether you will be available?

To confirm:

A staff member will be stationed at each activity to manage it.
Whānau will not be required to run an activity.
Your support with supervision makes an enormous difference, and your quick response will help with planning.

Ngā mihi,

Tim
