Social Worker in Schools
A reminder to whanau that we have a School Social Worker who works in our school every Wednesday and Thursday. Her name is Whaea Lucy, she can be contacted by phoning the school office. Whaea Lucy works with whanau and children who may need support or someone to talk things through.
Kutus
We are noticing a number of children who have kutus. We ask whanau to check and clean your children’s hair regularly. If you require a comb and kutu solution please come in and see us at the office.
School Uniforms - compulsory
Next year we are making the wearing of school uniforms compulsory for all children. We are currently trying to source a new, slightly cheaper option, but we only have limited uniform sizes in stock now that can be purchased at the office or time payments can be set up on line. We will notify whanau through the newsletter when our new stock is in.
Transition Day
All Year 6 children will be attending the next planned Transition Day at Kaikohe Intermediate School on 1st September from approximately 9-2.30pm. Whanau are welcome to attend with their tamariki to see what the school has to offer for next year. The children will be involved in various classroom activities on this day that will give them some idea of what Year 7 will be like for them at Kaikohe Intermediate. The Principal Freda Mokaraka will also be available to speak with whanau should you wish to.
