PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Kia ora koutou

Tomorrow, Friday 15 November, the school is closed to students. Teachers are having a Ministry of Education Curriculum Professional Development Day. We will be looking at the new English and Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum. These new curriculums were received by schools at the end of October and are to be implemented from the beginning of the 2025 school year.

We’ve been advised sKids will be closed tomorrow, our Curriculum Day.

It was disappointing to have to cancel the Year 3 – 6 athletics day. As you will appreciate, we are always keen to have these days as they are great events. For this day we needed to be guaranteed fine weather and dry ground. Unfortunately the ground is wet from rain overnight and the weather forecast is showers. We are hoping to have a version of this event at school on the next fine day.

It is amazing to think there are only four and a half weeks until the end of the school year. Please check the school calendar for the various end-of-year events.

Take care

Ka manaakitia e koutou e te Atua.

YUMMY STICKERS

A massive thank you to everyone that helped us to collect stickers as part of the Yummy sticker promotion this year. We received a huge number of stickers and now have an extra $288 to spend on sports gear for our school. Please keep collecting these stickers for us to use for next year’s promotion.
