Polar Bear Challenge

On Wednesday, 3rd of September Long Bay College will host the Polar Bear Challenge.

Take the plunge, then warm up with all-you-can-eat pancakes 🥞 and unlimited hot chocolate ☕ (after a hot shower, of course!).
This is your chance to support a fantastic charity while having loads of fun with friends.
3rd of September – sessions run 6:30am – 7:45am
$15 entry – all profits go directly to the NZ Cancer Society.
Book now through Kindo. Sign-up’s close 22 August.
This event as a large fundraiser for our chosen charity, the New Zealand Cancer Society. If we can handle a few minutes of discomfort in support of such a good cause, it’s the least we can do.   
Be brave. Get involved. Support the cause.
