Welcome
This week we would like to welcome the following children and their whanau to our school: Misstee and Marlee Walker, Dylan Pattison, Peneha Hamiora-Hoori, Quayshana Baker-Mau, Bobbie Kopa, Zion Kire, David and Ezekiahl Brown.
Complaints
Whanau are reminded that the correct way to deal with any issues is to please come and see your child’s teacher in the first instance. If after that and you need further assistance please come and see Whaea Chicky, it is not ok for whanau to come into the school and threaten children or try to sort things out.
This is the “official statement about making a complaint or have concerns”
If you have concerns or complaints that you wish to discuss, 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:

Whaea Kelli will also be available to talk with whanau who have children in her Maths class.
Please come along to hear about what is happening in your child’s class, discuss ideas with the teacher about helping your child at home and take a look at the work to date your child has completed.

On Friday 24th March our Year 6 tamariki will be going up to Kaikohe Intermediate School from 9.30-12.30pm for transition. They will be involved in activities during the day that will give them some idea about what it might be like to attend Kaikohe Intermediate school in 2018.
Whanau are welcome to attend too.
Ukulele Lessons
We are pleased to have Henare and Jane Hoani come back to our school next week to take ukulele lessons with four groups of selected children every Tuesday from 12pm. If your child is in the group they will bring home a letter with this newsletter. Apologies for not sending this letter home last week.
Gates
This week we are reminding children not to walk through the school carpark or down by the caretakers shed when entering or leaving school. Children should only use the gate up by Mangakahia Road or Purdy Street.
Wheels at school
Children are welcome to bring their bike, scooters etc to school but they must wear a helmet at all times and their wheels are left behind Room 12 in the bike shed only so it is essential that they also have a chain and lock to keep it safe. Wheels are only to be ridden at school on the basketball court or field during break times.
