Kia ora and hello everyone Tonight we are hosting the Home and School Partnership. We kick it off with Have A Go sports activities from 3:30-5:30. Come down in your sports gear and get involved and meet the teachers again. This is followed by some maths and literacy game playing in studios. You will be able to take these activities away to help support your child at home. At 6:30pm our Top 5 Talent Quest finalists will perform for you to showcase how talented they are. Over the day, we will have spot prizes for parents Having a Go at the sports and cheering on their kids. We also have a meat pack draw and veggie hamper draw for those parents who join in with the literacy and maths games from 5:45-6:30. Remember to get the teacher to give you a raffle ticket once you’ve played the games. Our Maori Enrichment team are selling lots of food and drinks to help fundraise for their trip to Mangere Mountain next week. Our new friend of the school, Pete Van Zyl will be setting up a gazebo outside the hall and you can enjoy your delicious kai and watch the kids play sports under it. So lots of action you won’t want to miss! Our senior students are heading off to Shakespeare Park next week for a 3 day camp. We struggled to get parents but that hasn’t stopped us finding a way to get there. Thanks to those adults who were able to help out this time – the kids really appreciate the opportunity to go. We have a lot of happy families at our school and we are really happy when you talk to us about this. And we’re just as interested if you want to tell us things aren’t going well. Pop in and let us know. A couple of our teachers have had some life-changing events in their lives over the last month. Thanks for asking us how they’re going. We’re really lucky that we’ve managed to find some suitable teachers to fill in those gaps while they work through things. We know they’ll be back soon. Jolene Marie Acting Principal
