Photo Day

On Wednesday 26th September we will have Photo Life here taking school photos.  We will be sending out order forms soon, for now start saving your pennies!  Class photos are usually about $15 each and there are a variety of individual photo options but they will only be taken if payment is made prior to the day.

All children must wear school uniform on photo day.  If they don’t have a uniform we will try to fit your child a second hand polo just for the photo.  Reminder for all to wear black bottoms also on this day.

Classes for 2019

Staff are over the next few weeks starting to organise all children into classrooms for 2019.  If you have a preference of the class you would like your child to be in next year if we can accommodate that, we will try.  Any queries please feel free to contact or come and see Whaea Chicky.
