Kia ora everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed the production! I am incredibly proud of the whole class and was so happy to see how much fun they were having up on stage. They did such a fantastic job!

Please check Hero, as I posted some production photos last Friday for you to have a look through.

Wacky Hair & Non Uniform Day: On the last day of term we are having a wacky hair and non uniform day to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation. This means students can wear a wig or create a crazy hairstyle and wear their own clothes. Please bring a gold coin!

Have a great holiday break and we will see you on the 12th October for Term 4!

Hi Everyone,

here is the pet day schedule. Tiddlywinks preschool will be arriving at 10am, so it would be good to have all the animals here and ready by 9:30am. The Lagmhor Society is providing sausages for a sausage sizzle. Thank you to everyone who has offered to help on the day. We will be looking for a few parents to help run the BBQ and oversee some gumboot throwing and anything else needed on the day. Pens will be set up against the wooden fence to the SE of the field for lambs, calves and ponies; dogs can be tethered to the pool fence; small animals in cages will be in the Studio. Looking forward to seeing you all,

The Lagmhor Team

We're excited to launch the inaugural South / Mid Canterbury Schools Duathlon in 2026, delivered in partnership with Canterbury Primary School Sport and Timaru Triathlon Club.

The event will take place at the fantastic Levels Raceway just outside Timaru, providing a safe, traffic-free venue where athletes can race on smooth, purpose-built roads without having to worry about vehicles.

We've intentionally designed the course distances to be achievable for first-time participants while still providing an exciting challenge for experienced and competitive athletes. Whether you're giving duathlon a go for the first time or aiming for the podium, there's a race for you!

The day will be split into two sessions:

Morning: Primary and Intermediate School events
Afternoon: Secondary School events

DATE: Wednesday 14th October

DISTANCES / FORMAT

Year 7 & 8: Run 2km (2 laps) / Bike ~7.2km (3 laps) / Run 1km (1 lap)

If you wish to enter your student please follow this link
