Dear Parents

Welcome to the final full week of the 2020 school year. As we count down the final days of the school year we also countdown to the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. At school prayers, on Friday, the nativity figurines were revealed and displayed.  This is a very special time of year for the church and for our families.

The Principal’s Message will cover the following topics;

• End of Year Reports
• Friday 11th December

Ka manaakitia e te Atua

Alister Bridgman

Principal

On Monday 7 December your child will be bringing home their end-of-year report. This report has comments written by them and their teacher.

For Year 3 – 6 students, the report is in conjunction with the Digital Portfolio on SeeSaw. We encourage you to sit down with your child at home and get them to talk to you about their learning samples on SeeSaw and read the student and teacher comments together.

If you wish to discuss any aspect of the report please email the homegroup teacher to arrange a suitable time.
