Kia ora te whānau kura,

The Ministry of Education continue to provide an outlet for parents to contact them directly with any concerns or questions about their child's/children's success at school. They offer an outreach, face to face opportunity in our area once per term. Here is the schedule for your information;

Fun water day Monday 12 Dec

 

7 December 2022

 Tēnā koutou Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,

 Due to us not being able to provide transport and supervision required to proceed with the planned beach day on Monday 12th December, we have decided to hold a fun water day at school instead. We will have water challenges, games and races run as a fun rotation for all the tamariki. This will be a great day for everyone but we must ensure that no one gets too much sun on the day so we ask that you send your child prepared for a day outside.

Please ensure that your child brings the following:

●       Togs and towel

●       Sun hat

●       Sunscreen

●       Dry clothes to get changed into.

●       Bag for wet gear

●       Full water bottle

 

Water day is always a favourite with the students and I’m sure it will be a fun day to end the year with.

End of year celebration

 Kia ora mai tātou katoa,

We want to welcome all parents, whānau and caregivers to attend our end of year prizegiving ceremony beginning at 11:30am on Tuesday 13th December, in Room 5. This is always a lovely opportunity to celebrate the students many successes and to bid farewell to the students, and their families, who graduate and move on to high school.

We would also like to invite those who are able to join us immediately following the hui for a 'bring your own picnic' lunch. In preparing for that please be aware that we are working with limited kitchen facilities currently as we pack down in preparation for the office/kitchen renovation.

This is also a reminder that school closes at 12:30pm on Wednesday 14th. The bus will run on an earlier timetable and will be at school to collect children at 12:40pm. We will alert parents and whānau via text message well in advance with any changes to that timing to allow you to be at the collection pick-ups on time. Please be sure to collect children who are not travelling by bus at that time.

Temporary Office/Reception

Due to the upcoming renovation of the reception area and kitchen we have temporarily moved the office and reception area. This is now in our resource room which is in the front of the school and can still be accessed from the car park. Follow the path just to the right of the garden to find Toni.

The builders have indicated that the renovation could go into term 1 and so we have rented a small cabin to provide overflow space in the meantime. We look forward to being back to normal as soon as possible in 2023. Thanks in the meantime for your patience and understanding.

Fundraising Opportunity

The school was very pleased to support a local camper van rally on the weekend, making the top fields available for parking and accomodation on Saturday night. All the vans were self contained and by all accounts, attendees had an enjoyable stay. They have asked if they can return in the future, and we would welcome an approach again.

This was a small fundraising opportunity for our school. Thank you Monique for making the initial contact and organising the day.
