Monday, 18 August 2025

Polyfest is held at the ILT Stadium in Invercargill. We will be travelling by bus and departing school at 9.10am.

When we arrive at Polyfest, we will eat our morning tea before our performance at 10.50am.  After our performance, we will watch some of the other performances, and have our lunch at the stadium. 

Weather permitting, we will stop at Queens Park for a play on our way home (at approximately 1.00pm). We will be back at school by the end of the normal school day.

All children will need to bring a packed lunch, snacks and a water bottle. 

We encourage whānau to come to Invercargill to watch the performance. If you are intending on coming to watch, you will need to travel down in your own vehicle.
