On March 19th the Rotary Club of Auckland East is running their "Top Schools" event as detailed below.
Over recent weeks they have had a number of helpers pull out for various reasons. They are now short of helpers to run the individual games. If any of St johns members would be willing to assist on the day it would be very much appreciated. They need the helpers to be on site between 9.30am and 3.00pm. They provide tea/coffee and snacks to the helpers. The attached timetable shows how the event runs.
Top Schools
Top Schools is a fun sports day run by the Rotary Club of Auckland East for primary school students in the Eastern Suburbs of Auckland. It is open in two grades for teams comprising years 3 and 4 students, and/or years 5 and 6 students. Rotary have run the event for over twenty five years.
The event will be run at Churchill Park School, Kinsale Ave, Glendowie on 19th March 2023.
The teams must compete in a number of fun events including a slippery slide, gumboot throw, mine field, ski run, sponge fun, newspaper delivery complete with sleds, and the wobbly wheels wagons.
The day starts with a grand parade led by Harold the Giraffe (Life Education Trust) and teams compete in the timed events to obtain the highest score for their grade.
Mums and dads are all in attendance to cheer the teams on, and at the end of the day all participants gain a certificate of attainment. The children in the top three teams for each division are given a medal.
Many thanks for considering our request for help from our fellow Rotarians!
