Kia ora everyone,

Senior Students are out and about over the next couple of weeks selling raffle tickets for a firewood raffle (handy and just in time!)

Those students who have opted to sell tickets will have booklets of 5 tickets. 

We thank you for supporting our pro-active learners. Please make sure to fill out the 'stub' part of the ticket so we know who to deliver the prize to!

Dear whānau,

What a long and busy term it has been! We would like to take this opportunity to celebrate the learning, achievements, and successes of our students throughout the term.

As we come to the end of our inquiry into Kiwiana, our Middle School students will be celebrating with a hāngi on Tuesday. This is a way to acknowledge our learners’ efforts and whanaungatanga.

For students with dietary requirements, we will continue to provide suitable food options to ensure everyone is included.

A few important dates for next week:

Tuesday: Middle School Students Hangi

Wednesday: Class and sibling photos will take place.

Thursday: House Reward celebration.

Reports: Student reports will also be sent home.

Thank you for your continued support throughout the term. We hope you enjoy the final week as we celebrate our learners and their accomplishments.

Snowsports Volunteers notices and Student Health Notices

These are being handed out this week and the notices are due back the last week of the term.

Ngā mihi,

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

This coming week, we will be organising  our student season passes for Tūroa.  

Please go to the Forms section of this app as soon as possible and answer the questions to let us know which of the following applies to your child:

Option 1: They have never had a Tūroa ski pass before.
Option 2: They have lost their previous ski pass.
Option 3: They have an existing pass that just needs to be reloaded.

This information needs to be collected by Monday 3pm at the latest.

Important Notes:

Do not rely on verbal confirmation: Please do not assume your child has given this information to their teacher.  We require the  form to be completed on the app for our records.

Deadlines and Fees: If a form is not completed for your child, we will automatically order them a replacement card at a cost of $5.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us organise this efficiently.

Kind regards,

Whaea Tash

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

As we approach a very busy period of the term, we have several important updates and reminders to share with you.

1. Dance-Off Details & Preparation
Dance-Off Event: The Dance-Off is taking place this coming Wednesday. A detailed newsletter was sent home recently; please check your child’s bag to ensure you have received this information.

Final Practice (Tuesday):  Please send your child to school with the specific shoes they will be wearing for the performance so they can practice comfortably in them.

2. Snow sports &  Pass Information
Participation Notices: Please return your child’s snowsports notice as soon as possible to confirm whether or not they will be participating.

Turoa Passes: Please navigate to the Forms section of our school app to provide details regarding your child's ski pass so we can finalise these arrangements for you.

3. Health Notice:

Head Lice
We have had a few reported cases of head lice in our space. We kindly ask that you check your child’s hair at your earliest convenience. If you require any treatment products, please let us know and we will happily send some home with your child.

Washing hands

It is that time of year again where there is lots of bugs going around, we would appreciate your support in making sure your child practices good hand washing hygiene at school and at home, this includes making sure your child's fingernails are clean.

4. Uniforms and Lost Property
Labelling Gear: Unnamed uniform items and shoes are incredibly difficult to return to their rightful owners. Please ensure all items of your child's uniform are clearly labeled with their name.
Unclaimed Shoes: We currently have a collection of unclaimed shoes sitting out on our deck. If your child is missing a pair, please encourage them to check this area.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in keeping our school community organised and running smoothly.

Regards

Tasha and Amy
