Balloons Over Waikato


As part of the Balloons Over Waikato Festival, Marian Catholic School invited all the Hamilton East School students to share their visit of a Hot Air Balloon from the Waikato Hot Air Balloon Club.  It fitted in perfectly with Room 9 and 10's swimming lesson at Hamilton Boys' High School on Thursday 17 March.  The whole of Totara Team and Kowhai Team walked around and joined us there.  We were all very patient and well behaved.  In fact we were so well behaved that the Balloon's pilot and crew commented that we were the best behaved schools they have ever visited.

Swimming Lessons at Hamilton Boys' High

Since 3 March, we have been receiving swimming lessons through the Find Your Field of Dreams Trust.  Every Thursday we walk to Hamilton Boys' High with Room 9 and Whaea Georgia for our lessons in their lovely heated swimming complex.  We are so lucky to be having these lessons for free.  Click on the link below to see some photos of us with our amazing swimming instructors.
