Learning to think, to do, to be

Ako ki te whakaaro, ako ki te mahi, ako kia ora ai te mauri

Our Vision: To provide a teaching and learning environment where of those involved: demonstrate respect, expect the best, achieve through opportunity, communicate actively & feel good and safe

Thank you for your support during the last few months, as together we united against the challenges of Covid-19.

Alert Levels 3 and 2 brought relief for many families and whānau, as it was once again safe for their children and young people to physically attend school.

Getting back to a normal routine has been important for the health and wellbeing of your children, and being around their peers and teachers has helped them feel in control and reassured.

We are very grateful to all whanau/families who have worked with us over this time and we are delighted to say we will have 100% of our children back next week - well done whanau.

Our very own Evea- May has had her hair cut this week as a fundraiser for the Shave for a Cure project. We are supporting Evea-May by holding a Wacky Hair Day on Wednesday 3 June. If you are able to make a donation to this cause, by way of a coin, that would be appreciated.

You can also donate through the link below.

There will be prizes for the wackiest hair within each of the four teams

Please remember to download the School App in readiness for Alerts which we will send to you from time to time.

We would appreciate ALL parents to have this App.

This App is the App which has the extension on it to allow you to register that you are on site.

Further Information for registering that you are onsite will come out before Monday 18 May, so you will know what to do. This is still being developed by the providers.

Please remember to notify the office if your child will be absent from school. Please state your name, child's name and reason for absence each day. Thank you

Thank you to you all for returning the school devices on loan to you from IPS. Please remember if you get sent a device from MoE, please bring it to school. As from Monday students who have a parent signed agreement to bring their own device, can do so. We do NOT allow phones in classes as devices., only chromebooks, laptops or Ipads.

To meet and greet with kindness.

Under the Education Act, Schools are required to report in writing twice a year. The report is to communicate progress of children in all aspects of our NZ Curriculum.

We have crafted up a special Mid Year Report, bearing in mind, we have not had your lovely children a lot this half year. This report will be a souvenir type COVID-19 2020 special if you like, as we are in what will be deemed as a moment in history.

Your child/children will have the opportunity for self reflection and comment as will you as parents. We look forward to reading about your Lockdown Learnings.

More information re reports and interviews will be shared next week .

The following days were designated Staff only days approved by our Board of Trustees last year.

Monday 4 September 2020 (week 6 of Term 3)

Tuesday 27 October 2020 (week 3 of Term 4)

Please lock these in as there will be NO ability to take students on these days.

The Government is considering an additional National Holiday, IF by chance one of our days is chosen, we will make another day for the Staff Only Day.

Due to recent disruptions to the school year, there will be just one issue of Book Club this term. Instead of Issue 3 or Issue 4, it is called Term 2 Book Club and it is a Bumper issue, so have fun perusing its pages and discovering all the goodies hidden inside!

The brochures will be handed out to students this week. Orders are due by Monday 22 June.

Or you may prefer to order online via LOOP (Linked Online Ordering for Parents). Go to:

https://mybookclub.scholastic.co.nz Your order will automatically attach to the School Order which will be forwarded to Scholastic on the closing date.

All orders earn Scholastic Rewards for the School. Happy Reading Everyone!
