Kawau Team – Year 3 This term, Kawau (Year 3) have been learning in the pool about water safety. We celebrated Chinese New Year and explored time measurement through experiments. Next we explored structure, stability and foundations through construction challenges. We have discovered the history of the Auckland Harbour Bridge before choosing to build arch, truss or suspension bridges in small groups. We have had loads of fun this term especially when we had our sleepover!

GENERAL REMINDERS
Pool Key
The pool will be closed from Friday 12th April.
Please return your pool key to the office at the start of Term 2, once returned your bond will be refunded back onto your Kindo account. We hope you enjoyed the pool season.
Free travel for 5 to 12 year old’s and half-price travel for 13 to 24 year olds on AT bus, train and ferry services will end on 30 April 2024, in line with the government’s decision to withdraw funding for these concessions.
This means that from Wednesday 1 May:
5 to 12 year olds will no longer travel for free on weekdays and will instead pay a child concession (at least 40% off adult fares). They will continue to travel for free on weekends. The child concession will apply to anyone aged 5 to 15, who has a registered AT HOP card with their correct date of birth.
13 to 15 year olds will stop receiving the half-price child fares discount and instead switch to paying full child fares (at least 40% off an adult fare during weekdays, and free travel on weekends) from 1 May. The child concession will apply to anyone aged 5 to 15, who has a registered AT HOP card with their correct date of birth.
16 to 19 year olds with a secondary student concession will stop receiving the half-price secondary fares discount and instead switch to paying full secondary fares (at least 40% off an adult fare). Students aged 16-19 should apply for the secondary student concession to ensure they are paying the cheapest fare possible.
More information about the discounts and what you may need to do next can be found at AT.govt.nz/farechanges
