Dear Parents/CaregiversNga mihi kia koutou katoa.

SCHOOL EARLY CLOSINGPlease remember that school will close at 1.30 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week due to learning con-ferences. Online bookings close today. If you haven’t made a booking then a time will be allocated to you and a slip sent home with your child on Friday. In cases of emergency, supervision can be provided for your child until 3 pm each day in the school library. You must notify your child’s teacher in writing if this is what you require.

KAPA HAKA ON TOUR!Last Friday the senior Kapa Haka group trav-elled to Maeroa to workshop with their awe-some Kapa Haka.  Maeroa Intermediate came second at last years national competitions. We felt very lucky to spend some time with them and even learnt a new waiata!

SPELLATHON FUNDRAISERGreat effort from our children learning their words in the Spellathon. Thank you to all parents and families for your fantas-tic support of this PTA fundraiser. The proceeds of which all our children will en-joy with the extensions to our playground set to be built very soon. Early indications are that we have even exceeded last year’s Mathathon total which is an awe-some achievement. The awards and prizes will be presented at our final as-sembly this term. If you still have money at home please send it to school asap.

MATARIKIRemember that this Friday afternoon from 2 pm you are welcome to classes as chil-dren will be sharing what they have done to celebrate Matariki, the Maori New Year.

plains this so check their bags if it doesn’t at first appear. It’s nice to note that the vast majority of children were able to be placed in their first choice. There will not be a tramp activity as only one child chose this option.

SWIMSAFEPlease remember to return your Swimsafe permission slips and $26 fee at your earliest opportunity. Swimsafe for Rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 12 and 13 will commence on Monday 21 July so please get those slips back to us prior to the end of term.

MEASLES UPDATEPlease see the attached letter from the Waikato District Health Board. Where cases have occurred in schools, the D i s t r i c t H e a l t h B o a r d h a v e recommended that any un-immunised children do not attend school for a period of two weeks. Whilst new entrant children are requested to provide immunisation records on enrolment at Hukanui there are a number of children that have transferred into our school who have not supplied the signed document from their Well Child/Plunket book. If this applies to your child, we would ask that you please bring in your child’s immunisation record to our school office so we can update their file. Similarly, if you have not supplied this record on enrolment, could you please do so now.
