The Central Challenge
The Central Challenge Family Adventure Race is Nelson Central School's main
fundraising event for 2021. Being held on Sunday May 23rd, 10am – 3pm at Central School.
This traditional School Gala and Rogaine Event in one, encourages a wide range of school's whanau, community and local sponsors to embark in some good active family fun together.
Our school places a huge emphasis on healthy, active, fundraising fun! Nelson Central School will be a buzz with the Rogaine, a 1 or 2 hour timed orienteering event with a map, clues and wild card prizes. With a Gala as well as a Rogaine there is something for everyone; hot food, baking and refreshments at the Café, picnic and seated dining, Bouncy Castle Obstacle Course, Blast Body Zorb, Games Ally, Kombucha and our own Kidpreneur items for sale and many other games, food and activities.
To help our 'waste free' endeavours, we encourage you to bring your reusable bags, picnic gear and coffee cups… or a gold coin for the use of the “Wash n Go” wash station to minimise rubbish. Don't forget your drink bottles!
Register online and win! Each online entry goes in the draw to win one of our fantastic sponsored prizes! To find out more and register your team, whether it be a team of one, two, three or four, a family or work colleagues - go to www.centralchallenge.co.nz...
This event is proudly sponsored by Switch Lighting, Nelson Orthodontics and Pics Peanut Butter.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
New Year, Same Brain Teasers!
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other.
When the police pressed “play,” the tape said, “I can’t go on,” and then there was a gunshot.
Yet, the police knew it was a murder.
How?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
