Classes for 2015
Class organisation for 2015 will be drafted over the next few weeks, if whānau have any preferences for what class their child/children are in please let Whaea Chicky know. We will try to honour your preference when creating class lists if possible. Most classes next year will be mixed levels so there might be for example in one class a mix of Year 4,5 and 6 children in a Senior class and similarly in a Junior class their maybe a mix of Year 2,3 and 4 children.
School Uniform 2015
We will be expecting all children in school uniform by the beginning of next year so come and see Kohi at the office about part time payments or purchase now!
School Polo shirts are $35 and you will receive a free pair of black pants while stocks last.
We also are ordering the polar fleece jacket (full or half zip) These will be priced according to sizes therefore from a size 6 – 14 will be $55 each any size bigger will cost $65 each.
Junior Trip
All junior children will bring a letter home today detailing the Junior Trip on Tuesday 4th November 2014. Buses are planning to depart school at 9am and return to school by 2.30pm on this day.
Kai at schoolAll whānau please remember that we have plenty of yummy kai at school we are more than happy to give your child/children throughout the day. Please do not think that because you don’t have kai for breakfast or lunch that you need to keep your child/children at home. Send them school, we have weetbix, milk, bread etc for toast and lots of snack foods!
Children arriving late
It is of concern when the same children are often late for school. A reminder that it would be awesome if your child/children could be at school by 8.45am at the latest please.
Year 6 Transition Visits
All Year 6 children will on Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th November be visiting Kaikohe Intermediate School in preparation for 2015. All whānau are welcome to attend on either of these two days to see what great work is happening at Kaikohe Intermediate School. The Year 6 children will at this time meet teachers, be involved in activities and will gain some insight into how Year 7 might be for them in 2015.
Magic Show
The Lions Club of Whangarei is the proud host of the ‘World Festival of Magic’ at the Forum North in December. The shows are scheduled for Monday 15th of December. Performance times are 4.30pm and 7.00pm.
Free Doctor’s Visits
Northland children aged between 6 and 12 years (up to their 13th birthday) now have free access to their general practitioner including after-hours consultations. The current $5 prescription charge will also be covered.
