Nurses Here Every Monday

We are lucky to have 2 nurses visit our kura every Monday now (not Tuesday) to check on any health matters that our children may have.  We do need whānau consent for this so if you haven’t already please request a form to fill out or give Whaea Chicky a call and she will sign on your behalf.

Little Dippers

Last Wednesday our special rights tamariki went to Little Dippers over in Waipapa for some swim time in their warm, indoor pool.  It was such a great success and a valuable experience for hydrotherapy that we have decided to carry on going each Wednesday for the remainder of the term.  This will be in addition to attending RDA each Thursday out at Waimate North for the therapy on horseback.

Thanks to Kaikohe Lions for their ongoing support and especially to our wonderful driver, Laurie Byers.

Te Pou Theatre

Next Tuesday 22nd June we have a Māori performing arts group visiting our school. 

Term 3-4 Organisation

At the end of Term 2 we farewell and thank Whaea Barbara who has been relieving in Room 9. We welcome back from Maternity leave Whaea Tyme Rata.

After the first few weeks of Term 3 we will farewell and thank Whaea Renee who will go on Maternity Leave.  Room 12 will not re-open in Term 3.  By now all Room 12 whānau/children should know what class they will join at the start of term 3.  Once again any queries please come and see us.

Reports and Class Letters 

We are keen to hear from any whānau about what they thought about the new format and contents of school reports we sent home last week.  Please feel free to come and talk to your child’s / children’s teacher/s or send us a message.  We will be placing a survey on our school facebook page soon also.
