Weather

Our Matariki Celebration is an all weather event, although food options may be more limited in heavy rain or wind.  If it is wet please head through into the hall for performances.  You are welcome to eat inside (please take your rubbish with you).  The long range forecast is looking good for Tuesday! 

Face masks

We are encouraging people to wear face masks inside the hall.  These will be available on the door if required. 

Car parking

There will be no parking available on site at Nayland College so please use surrounding streets, Broadgreen Intermediate and Nayland Primary. We encourage you to walk or bike where possible.

Torches

Bring a torch or a battery powered lantern for the star hunt! The flashlight on your phone will work just fine too.

Zero waste

Our Matariki Celebration will be a zero waste event so please take any rubbish home with you.
