Good afternoon all
What a Friday! We started the day with a Recognition assembly for nominated students and their family. Ms Webster stepped in and celebrated along with the families. Then we had a Duffy role model Assembly with Halaifonua Finau of the NZ movie Red, White and Brass fame. That assembly was led by Mrs Tu’akoi. The reason for the change in lead teacher is that Mrs Petersen has had to take bereavement leave and travel back to South Africa.
Celebrating Our Young Writers: This week, we're thrilled to celebrate the writing of Amelia (Rm 4) and Nike (Rm 10). When you’re at reception do take a few moments to read their work. The chosen pieces are always a good read.
Sports Camp
Our Sports Camp Team heads to the YMCA Camp in Hunua on Monday morning. We know they’re excited and have a definite buzz through the team. Excited as they are, more than likely on Monday someone will leave an important item at home - please check your child’s kit to ensure that they have everything they need - right up their pillow! Parents are welcome to visit - please report to one of the staff on arrival at the camp. Competition starts at 9am each day.
Looking Ahead
The first BOT meeting for the new board is at 4:30pm on Thursday 18 September
Prepare for the term break - what learning opportunities can you introduce at home; board games, cards etc. Need ideas; come and chat with the class teacher or Jono
If your child is in Yr 5, every family will need to provide a device for learning for the next 3 years.
End of term 3 is Friday 19 September at 2pm - please make arrangements to have your child collected at the right time.
Sports Camp students return on Friday 19th around 3pm - please make arrangements to have your child collected around then as they will be tired!
Start of Term 4 is Monday 6 October at 9am as usual - and daylight saving would have started.
School movie day at Sylvia Park Cinemas is coming up. It is expected that all students attend and get to see themselves on the big screen. A permission slip will be issued closer to the time. One (or two) of our class movies will be screened at the night show. A small cost of $2/ticket for the night showing will be made available to parents next term.
Enjoy a family focussed weekend
