Junior Camp 2025 — Important Update

Kia ora koutou,

After consultation with parents and our school community, we have decided that this year’s Junior Camp will have two parts.

Kereru students will attend camp for two nights — Tuesday 2nd to Thursday 4th December.
Piwakawaka students will join for one night — Wednesday 3rd to Thursday 4th December.
Kereru students will still have the option of attending for one night only if that is preferred by parents.

We will be staying at Edenview Camp, and we are currently finalising activity plans, permission forms, and further details. These will be sent home soon.

We’re looking forward to a fantastic camp experience for all our junior students!

Many thanks, 

Tabitha, Daniel and Rosanne

Today we recieved 41 boxes of Scholastic Books which have been set up in the Discovery Room.  A massive thank you to Rachael Harding who has set this space up. These books are all for sale as part of our Book Fair which runs from Monday 20th - Friday 31st October. To launch the Book Fair on Monday 20th, we encourage students to dress up as a book character. This space will be open from 1-3 daily and Rachael has made herself available to help with purchases. 

Hedgehope School accrues credits from sales that we can use to further stock our library. 

Here is a glimpse into what is on offer. 

Dear Parents, 

Hedgehope School are very excited to have been able to secure a larger numbers of team spaces for the coveted Otago-Southland Young Farmer Agrikids Final for 2026. 

This years event will take place at the Gore A&P Show on Saturday 7th February 2026- Waitangi weekend.

The Agrikids teams are made up of three 8-13 year olds (as at 1st February 2026) competing in various modules earning points based on their performance to qualify for the Grand Final. 

Could you please head over to FORMS to register your childs interest in being a member of a school team. 

Let me know if you have any queries, 

Tab
