Next Week At Our School

Tomorrow school is closed for our area-wide Staff Only Day.  All staff are engaged in learning activities covering a wide range of topics. Two of our staff are presenting a workshop as well.  On Monday school remains closed for the first public holiday called King’s Birthday.   Our regular programme gets back into action on Tuesday - and if your child has been at school every day thus far, remember they are still in the running to get a delicious treat for full attendance at the end of the term.  The treat is sponsored by Breakfast Club.

Next week:

Monday:  School is closed as NZ acknowledges the King’s Birthday.

Tuesday:  3:15 pm after-school reading lessons continue.    No Netball evening competitions. 

Wednesday: Homework Club for Years 5 & 6.  Sports Camp practice after school. 

Thursday: 3:15 pm after-school mathematics lessons continue.  HipHop sessions - see for link to register. Year 6 Netball team play in the Netball competition.

Friday:    Fundraiser: $2 pizza slice.  Please have your child order early as we have to get our orders placed.  We’ll confirm the flavour later in the week in addition to the vegetarian option.
