BOT Dates
Board Members please note the following:
1:30pm Wednesday 18 September - Board Meeting, all welcome!
Trophy from ABCLast Friday Whaea Chicky, Room 1 and Tumanako children visited the new ABC Daycare following an invitation from them to officially thank our school for having the centre here. At this function we were very proud to receive a specially carved trophy created for us to remember our special bond. It is yet to be decided how the trophy will be used but if any Whanau have any ideas please let us know. One suggestion has been that children who receive the Principal’s Award would be given the trophy.
Duffy AssemblyNext Wednesday at 11.30am we have a visit from ex Warriors/Kiwi League player, Gavin Hill in the school hall. Whanau are welcome to join us!
School Uniform
We have made a final decision re the school uniform shirt which is currently on display in the school office. The shirts are being made in China and supplied to us by Sportclub, Whangarei. They have agreed to price the shirts at $35 each and will continue to try to source an emerald green zip up jacket also.
For now if you would like to place an order for a shirt we will have size samples available hopefully in 3-4 weeks at the office. Payment must be made with your order, orders will be sent away once we have 50 shirts ordered. Any black bottom can be worn with the school shirt as from 2014, and a reminder that the uniform is an optional for 2014.
