Welcome
A very special “Welcome” to the following students and their whānau to our school this week: Rongomatane Kea, Romanie Tarawa, Joshua and Gabriel Robson.
Survey Home
All children will be bringing home a survey for whānau to complete and return to school next week. The purpose of the survey is to get whānau ideas and thoughts about what they think is important about what our children learn when they are at school and whether or not there are any changes needing to be made for their future.
Congratulations
Our congratulations to these teachers who have been reappointed to teaching positions at our school – Margaret Cassidy currently teaching in Room 3, Natalie Snow currently teaching in Rooms 1/2, and Lydia Cooper.
School TouchWe would like to remind all children and whānau that in order for children to play they need to return their permission slips, No permission, no game. Fees are $15 each. All help is appreciated! Please contact us at school if you can help. Thank you to Matua Malcolm, Whaea Kelly Davies and Matua Kelvin for volunteering to help with a team.
New Lunch Additions
As of this week we have added to our lunch menu the options of milk biscuit $1, nachos $4 and quiche $4. The macaroni lunch option has been removed, as it is no longer available.
Transition days for 2015
Class organisation for 2015 has been sorted for next year. In order to ease children into a possible new class/environment/teacher for 2015 we have decided to have two transition days Monday 1st and Tuesday 2nd December whereby all children spend this time in their 2015 class.

End of Year Reports
All children who have been at school for at least 6 weeks will be bringing home an end of year school report on Wednesday 3rd December. The report should clearly explain where your child is achieving in terms of the National Standards in Reading, Writing and Maths. While we do try to make reports clear and error free sometimes we do muck up. Therefore if any whānau have any questions about their child’s report or find any errors do not hesitate to come and see or contact your child’s teacher. Our apologies in advance.
Concerns and complaints
If you have concerns or complaints that you wish to discuss, please contact the office and make an appointment to meet the principal or see your child’s teacher in the first instance.
If you consider that your concerns are not being addressed, a complaint should be made, in writing, to the chairperson of the board of trustees:
