Weekly Notices, Term 1 Week 9

 


Hello everyone, I hope you've had a wonderful weekend. 

Last week involved so many exciting events, which our students thoroughly enjoyed. Our swimming sports last Monday was a huge success. It was so great to hear about everyone getting involved and having fun. Thank you to our parent helpers for your support, we couldn't do events like this without you. Also, thank you for encouraging your children to participate in Rice Day. It promoted thoughtful discussion and provided a meaningful opportunity for students to walk in somebody else's shoes for a day. 






Well done to those involved with Touch finals and the Pasifika Group performance over the weekend. I look forward to hearing how these events went. If your child was involved, please email any photos for me to share with the rest of the class.

Friendly Reminders:

- Chromebooks need to come to school charged. As we are a BYOD school, many of our learning activities now require devices. Headphones are essential, please. - Each child needs a school hat. They can be purchased from the uniform shop for $13.
- Please LABEL your children's clothing, we have quite a few issues with shorts/dresses ending up on the wrong body.
- If you need headphones still, Kmart, The Warehouse, or school have them ranging in price from $8
-Please collect bread tags and yummy stickers, if you need a chart please have your child come see Mrs. Dinniss

It is a short week this week. I hope you all have a great one and an even better long weekend. Happy Easter

   Te Ahiahi Pai (Good Afternoon),  I hope you have been enjoying the sunshine and are feeling recharged as we head into our last week of Term 2.  We have had a busy term with a variety of events and activities. It felt fitting that last week we practiced Christian Meditation. It was led by Sister Rachel and Sister Ema from the Sisters of Compassion in Wellington.  During these sessions, children were asked to sit in  S ilence and  S tillness with a  S traight back and  S ay the word Maranatha to themselves, meaning 'Come Lord Jesus'. If you hear your child talking about the 4  S  words, this is what they are referring to.  Christian Meditation is something we are going to continue to practice as a school. It provides an opportunity to take a break and be still, in an otherwise very busy environment!  Things on this week: Wednesday   - Kapa Haka.                       - Principal's luncheon                      - Room 17 Library- please remember to bring your books to swap
