Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa – warm greetings to everyone
Positive:
Our REPS focus this term is being positive. We love it when you help us at home. Here are some great ideas for you to start your child’s day off in a positive light!
Uniform:
As you will know by now, we have been looking at implementing a school uniform at Reporoa Primary School. This began last year in August with a question in the community survey. The results of this survey told us that it was something the majority wanted and we needed to investigate further.
This year we canvased parents at the SLC’s (Student Learning Celebrations). We had examples of what the uniform could look like. Again, the results were strongly in favour of a uniform.
Communication about the uniform has also been ongoing in the newsletter and on facebook.
The Board of Trustees have decided that this year the only part of the uniform that will be implemented is the sunhat in Term 4. The rest of the uniform will be staggered in its implementation during 2019 (more information is to come out about this later, including purchasing info.).
The hat is black with our school logo and can be purchased from The NZ Uniform shop. This supplier was chosen as they could provide parents with everything they need all in one store and they would have it available all year round already embroidered ready to purchase. Online purchases are also possible.
Year 5 and 6 students WILL NOT be required to purchase any uniform in 2018. Existing school sunhats will be provided for this cohort of children.
Keep an eye out for information on how to purchase – coming very soon!
