Room 17 2021

  This week we enjoyed our daily session of swimming with Tara and her team.  Well done to those who remembered their togs every day.  I was very impressed with the respectful attitude of all of Room 17.  You listened and followed Tara's instructions well and tried your best, even if it was something challenging for you.  A great example of practicing resilience. Here are a few photos from the week. Remember it is our normal swimming week this week, so bring your swimming gear every day.

  Just a quick email to touch base about the PTA raffle.  The draw is next Friday (5th Nov) Thank you to those who have returned these by the due date. We have quite a few ticket books from our class still outstanding. It doesn't matter if they are not sold, or partially sold either - no stress.  But if there are any tickets/money still rolling around in school bags, book bags or at home it would be great to get them in ASAP.

  Friday -   9:00 Parish Mass - Room 16 and 17 to attend and parents needed to help please. All parents are invited as well.  This will then be followed by a shared morning tea in the church hall.  We would like to ask that our students bring in something light to share for this.  If you are able to help with serving tea and coffee, that would be much appreciated too.  Please let myself or Mr Bach know if you are able to help out.

  Shared Morning Tea Thursday Rooms 16 and 17 will be having a Shared Morning Tea on Thursday to farewell Deklyn, who is leaving us to go to Wanganui with his family, and also to celebrate a great first term of learning in Middle School. If it is possible, could every child please bring along a small item of food to share on Thursday, remembering that this is a shared morning tea, not a shared lunch. Thank you in advance.
