Welcome
A special welcome to our new tamariki and their whanau: Jhai Morgan-French, Adelaide Wharerau, and Manuera Tomuri-Grace.
Queen’s Birthday
No school on Monday 1 June.
Parents and Caregivers - Contact NumbersIt is VERY important that the school has your correct telephone numbers and address.
Please call the school office (0-9-4011532) or text Whaea Chicky (0-21-411534) if your number has changed. If you are not sure if we have your correct details, please call and check.
Civil Defence Emergencies
If the council declares a Civil Defence Emergency, children may be sent home early if the principal is satisfied that there is a responsible person at home. If the principal cannot be assured that there is a responsible person at home, children will be kept safe at the school.
This is why you must be sure that we have your correct contact details.
Please note that a wet day is not a Civil defence Emergency.
Absences
Please call the school office (0-9-4011532) or text Whaea Chicky (0-21-411534) before 9:30am to let us know if one of your children is not coming to school.
Children must attend every day unless they are sick.
If we have concerns about a child’s attendance a referral is made to the District Truancy Service.
Graduate Profile

We have two categories – non – competitive for all class levels and competitive for all Year 5 and 6 classes. The two finalists from the competitive section will go on to represent our school at the Kaikohe Rotary Speech competition held at the RSA on Wednesday 24 June. More details about both events later.
Lunch
Most children bring a lunch from home.
Children are expected to sit down when eating and are supervised from 1:00pm to 1:10pm.
For health and safety reasons, lollies, chewing gum, canned drinks and glass bottles are not permitted at school.
Snacks, milk and fruit may be provided each day for all children.
Term 3 Clubs
We will once again have clubs in Term 3 every Monday afternoon from 2-2.50pm. If there are any whanau who would like to come and either lead a club or support a teacher or teacher aide with a club please let us know.
Some club ideas might be - checkers, guitar, ukulele, dance, drama, a sport or game, building, creating or any craft. The school will provide materials needed.
Please let us know if you can help.
