Whānau Hui
Each term we take the opportunity to report on each child’s progress to Whānau, share information, your child/children’s book work and clarify any queries that Whānau may have. This term we are having this hui on Tuesday 10th September. Appointments will be scheduled for approximately 8 minutes per child and we will try our best to accommodate your requests.
School will close at 12.30pm on this day and only children who have permission will walk home or be collected at this time. Supervision will be available from 1pm in the school hall and buses will run as normal. All Whānau are asked to please complete the attached form so that we can organise appointment times and be sure that on this day your child is kept safe.
You can expect your appointment time home on Wednesday 4th September.
Principal’s AwardThis fortnight’s Principal Award goes to Maia Vaka from Room 3 for being such an awesome student. Maia is kind, caring, helpful girl and is working very hard in Room 3. Maia will receive a free lunch next week from Whaea Chicky. Well done Maia!

Pioneer Village Visit

Kids Can Dress Up Day
This Friday 9th August we are having a dress up day to raise funds for Kids Can. Kids Can have helped us so very much with food, jackets/coats, nit oil and combs etc. On this day we are asking for all children to come in “dress up” clothes and buy a $2 sausage sizzle. We will also have face painting for $2 per child available. Our face painter, Mrs Claire Edmonds will move around classes from about 9am painting the faces of children. All funds raised will go to Kids Can.
Term 3 Clubs
While our first day of Clubs last week was a little wet it appears that most children and staff had a fantastic start. Here are some pictures of the children from the Gardening Club in action.
Adopt a Cop
This program involves police staff being allocated to schools that they can build a positive relationship with. We are lucky to have Constable Tracey Rihari as our school cop. Tracey will attend various school activities starting this Friday. She will be at Dress Up Day helping with the sausage sizzle.
