NPBHS Something For Nothing Event - 3rd June

20 May 2026

Tēnā koutou

NPBHS, are participating in a day called "Something for Nothing," where they give back to the community in some way. It is an opportunity for their young men to do something valuable and contribute to our local communities. They have invited the boys of Devon Intermediate to participate in an afternoon of games at NPBHS.

The fantastic afternoon will be on Wednesday the 3rd of June.

We will be leaving from Devon Intermediate at 12 o'clock and returning to Devon by 3pm. We will be travelling by bus. There is a $10 cost for the bus.

Unfortunately there are many students that have not returned their permission slips or payment. To ensure your Devon boys do not miss out on this opportunity please support them in getting their permission slips back to the office ASAP.

Thank you.
