Week 7, Term 2 Notices

 Sunday 13 June

Goeie more almal (Afrikaans)

Time flies when you're having fun they say!  It's hard to believe it's already week 7 and we only have four weeks left of this term.  Last week we spent a great deal of time testing children individually and it's always so exciting and rewarding to see the progress made.  Well done to everyone for striving for excellence and doing your best.  We had a great Mass on Friday with lovely reading, prayers and beautiful singing.  Thanks to parents who came along to support.  Well done too to the Ripper rugby teams who went to the tournament and played well.  Good luck to those participating in a Chess Tournament on Monday in Tauranga and Tuesday in Rotorua, we know you will enjoy the experience.


What's Happening this Week

Tuesday - Talent show auditions in Room 5

Wednesday - Gymnastics in Hall - 12:45pm, lunchtime

Wednesday - Library Room 17, Kapa Haka

Friday - Pasifika, 11am    Talent show finals 11:30.     Choir - 12pm

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. If your child's Chromebook is not working, we recommend contacting Paul (see contact details below).
Please LABEL your children's clothing, we have quite a few issues with jerseys/fleeces ending up on the wrong body.
Please check with your child that their headphones are working. We still have some children without, it was on the stationery list for this year and very important to have at school. They can be purchased reasonably priced at Kmart, or the school ($8)

School notices

Our Matariki Dinner is scheduled for Thursday, June 24th in our school hall at 5.30pm. Parents and caregivers are cordially invited to come and share food from their country of origin, if you wish, otherwise just bring a plate of food. 

Please vote for us:


We are a finalist in the Education Category of the Access Alliance National Awards. Voting closes at midnight on Sunday 13 June. 

 

Please can you vote for us. The link to go to is here. It all looks quite daunting when you go to the link - all we need you to do though is just vote for us - see the Education Category. 

 

Anyone who has their own email address can vote - if you have a Y3-6 child at school remember to ask them to vote for us too.

 

It would be wonderful if you have friends and family who might be willing to vote for us too. Thanks for your support.


Have a week filled with joy.

Week 10, Term 2 - Weekly notices

   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
