Learning - Today, Tomorrow, Always

Hei akoranga - Inaianei Apopo, Mo ake tonu atu!

Lichfield School is situated within the beautiful rural village of Lichfield and surrounded by verdant farmland. It is approximately 8km south of Putāruru and 15km north of Tokoroa, on State Highway 1.

We are in a district known as the South Waikato, near the Central North Island of NZ. Residents enjoy the centrality of the position, being less than an hours drive from major shopping and tourist spots, such as Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, and Tauranga.

MORAL PURPOSE

To provide opportunities for all learners to identify and develop personal strengths and talents… so that they can be successful members of our society. 

Every minute of every day we are learning, no matter if we are one day old or 90 years old. 

Our vision points out that all members of our school learning community are life long learners.

Lichfield School has been serving the local community since 1884.

Mōrena Koutou,

Please find attached the draw for this friday.

DUTIES

Toilets - Pukeatua
Courts - Lichfield
Senior Duty - Mixed Nutters
Senior BYE - Hodderville Heifers

A FEW FRIENDLY REMINDERS - Senior teams must supply an umpire.  NO UMPIRE - NO POINTS.  Your umpire must know the netball rules and must also be able to control the game they are umpiring.  It is NOT ok to hand your whistle to a child and say you have provided an umpire.
If for any reason you are NOT happy with your game/umpire, please see control.  Do NOT wait until the end of the game to query issues. Once the scorecard is handed into control that is the FINAL score.
Just to clear up any confusion, Junior rounds, teams change ends at half time, Senior rounds, teams change ends at each quarter.

Last reminder BE KIND people, RESPECT goes along way, if you have any concerns, please see the Committee member on duty, The PNC team are all VOLUNTEERS just trying to provide a happy and safe place for everyone to ENJOY the game of NETBALL  :)

Any draw queries please email.

Dinner Special Friday - NICE & EASY AMERICAN HOTDOG NIGHT  -  NO EFTPOS/CASH ONLY
