Kia ora,

We are so excited to open the Lamb & Goat Daycare for another year!

Please head to forms and complete the registration when you intend for your child to enrol their lamb or goat in the Lamb & Goat Daycare in Term 3 and/or 4.

It is important that you read the rules attached to the form and explain the rules to your child.

This is very important for the health and safety of your child's own lamb or goat, and also the other students' animals using the daycare.

By signing the form you understand that the school is providing a contained area, shelter and supervision of feeding but cannot be held responsible for the general health of your animal.

 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on admin@waitoki.school.nz

Nga mihi nui,

Waitoki School Office
