Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa – warm greetings to everyone

REPS:

This term we are focusing on being engaged. Ask your child at home what engaged means and where they think they sit on our Engaged Rubric. What strategies might they try to move to the next level of being engaged at school and in life?

My Bag of Worries:

My bag of worries is obnoxious and tiring. It is always following me. I don’t like my bag of worries. However, I am going to put all of my effort into it so I can get on with my life and not be worried about anything. I’m going to say “GO AWAY. I’M BIGGER THAN YOU!”

Fun Run:

Dear Parent/Guardian,

As a way to raise money for new playground equipment and outdoor games, we will be holding the School Fun-Run (previously called our Cross Country) on 21st May 2019. The funds raised will be used to buy playground and sporting equipment for our turf and outdoor games for an outdoor area by the staffroom. The more we raise, the more we are able to buy!

We are excited to be taking the FUN RUN (Cross Country) offsite this year and will be running it on the Marshall’s farm.

About the Program

The School Fun-Run promotes healthy and active lifestyles while helping us raise funds! It’s all about participation, with students treated to a great day as a reward for their fundraising efforts.  Family support is key to our fundraising success and we encourage everyone to get involved. It is done through sponsorship.

A LETTER WITH ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION CAME HOME THIS WEEK – KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR IT!

WELL DONE TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY STARTED RAISING MONEY – THE BALANCE IS GOING UP FAST ALREADY!

Bus Vests:

This week your child will come home with a bright orange vest. This has been numbered and issued to them. It belongs to the school.
All children riding on the bus MUST wear a vest to and from school please.
This decision was made by the Board of Trustees in response to information that our new uniform has made it more difficult to see our children clearly. With winter and foggy weather approaching, we do not want our children to be in any danger. The BOT have paid for the vests, however you will be responsible for replacing them if they are lost. Walkers may choose to wear the vest and are encouraged to do so if they walk to school along any part that does not have a footpath. If walkers living close to the school are not going to wear the vest, please return them to school immediately so we can delete your name from the issuing register.

Stars of the week:

Ka Rawe te mahi (awesome work) to our wonderful writers this week – JK, Zachary, Hamish, Paige, Carlos, Sione, and George.

A big thank you to Kate Bowron for sourcing the new school bus vests and organising the labelling of them for us over the holidays. Our children will be much safer waiting for buses!
