A school uniform?
Recently I asked for whanau ideas for 2013. One idea that has been proposed is school having a school uniform. Please consider this idea and in the next few newsletters I will be asking whanau to give feedback as to why you agree or disagree with the idea of a school uniform. I will publish whanau ideas without names included and some time in Term 1, 2013
will survey whanau for their final yes or no with a view to going ahead if we have 70% positive response.
School Vision Survey
Next week all whanau will receive a survey regarding our school vision.
