Welcome
A special welcome to our new tamariki and their whānau: Aarav Prasad.
ERO Visit
We were pleased to have ERO Reviewers Whaea Jane and Whaea Sandy here this week. Today the team “sum up” their findings. An official report will be available to the public about the visit in about 6 weeks. Special thanks to the whānau who were able to come and share comments and stories with the ERO team yesterday.
Uniforms
We are expecting some polo shirts into school today and more by the end of the week. Kohi will give whānau who have already purchased uniforms a phone call.
We also have the polar fleece jackets. These are priced according to sizes therefore from a size 6 – 14 will be $55 each any size bigger will cost $65 each.
For now any children with no uniform please feel free to wear your usual clothes or there are green polo’s at The Warehouse Kaikohe that are ok also. DO NOT keep your child home if they do not have a uniform please. If you want to set up an automatic payment or just pay a uniform off as you can afford to, come and see Kohi in the office, we will make it as easy as we can for you.
New World Garden Project
To show our appreciation for the support Kaikohe New World has given to our school and community we are planning to support them by helping tidy up the garden at the front of the shop.
On 26th March a group of selected senior tamariki and students from North Tec Horticulture course will be removing the flax outside the shop and tidying the area.
The flax will be replanted around our bike track.
If any whānau would like to help, come and see Whaea Michelle Hudson who works mainly in Room 9/Rangiāarie.
The group will leave school at a bout 11am and return around 2pm, any assistance would be appreciated.
Whānau Hui – 17th MarchPlease keep sending in notes re Whānau Hui meeting times. Please select a convenient time to come and visit teachers to discuss classroom programmes, your child’s progress so far, draft graduate profile and any other queries you may have. Time slots will be 10 minutes. We will do our best to give you the time you wish.
If you have any queries don’t hesitate to get in touch or Kohi may ring you.
