Mid-Term Attendance Update

The table below outlines the Ministry Attendance targets for 2024 and 2026 and our Term 4 Attendance up to the end of Week 5. It is pleasing to see that at this stage of the term we are already meeting two of the 2024 targets.

Remember ‘Everyday Matters’ for your children’s schooling success.

Attendance Prize Reminder

The Stanley Avenue Board of Trustees is excited to announce that students who achieve 90% attendance over Term 4, will get a family/whānau entry for the $100 Prezzie Card prize draw. In addition to the prezzie card, there will be a family entry to the Te Aroha Pools. Term 4 final attendance will be calculated at the end of Week 9 and the prize draw will take place during our final Whole School Prize Giving during Week 10.

Keely Rendell Memorial Service

On Wednesday 22nd November school will be closed for the entire day as the Stanley Avenue staff will be paying their respects to Keely and her family here and from Australia. Teachers will be administering distance learning for their students on this day and school will resume as normal on Thursday 23rd November.

Thank you for your cooperation. Keely was a special person and teacher, and we were fortunate enough to have her touch our hearts here at Stanley Avenue School.

A condolence book is in place at the office for anyone wishing to leave a message or share a memory that will be given to the family at a later date.

Kids Club will be open from 7.30am-5.30pm for this day. If you wish to book in please contact Rachael on 0284673093.

2023 Community Consultation

A big thank you to the families/whānau who completed our Community Consultation. Your feedback was appreciated and a summary of the consultation will be provided in the coming weeks.

PIWAKAWAKA had Michelle from the New Zealand Fire Service visit on Thursday to talk about being Firewise.

We talked about having a plan, getting down low and getting out in a fire , and how tools like matches and lighters are NOT toys.

There were lots of messages about how we can be Firewise at home and we look forward to sharing these with our families.

We have strawberries!

Some very excited students helped Whaea Adreena put the bird netting over the plants, and were rewarded with freshly picked delicious strawberries.

Earlier this week, students of the gardening group were able to taste rhubarb crumble slice, made with rhubarb grown in our gardens!

Keep up the great work budding gardeners!

All children 7 and under will be participating in our fun Athletics morning on Thursday 23rd November. Events will be held at school on the back field from 9.30am to 11am.

This is an introduction into all things 'Athletics' and is about giving it a go and having fun.

Please make sure your child has a change of clothes, Waka t-shirts are encouraged (but not compulsory).

We look forward to seeing lots of smiley faces on the 23rd.

Notices have been sent home, with the eldest or only child for our whole school pool trip to MATAMATA pools.

Please note the change of venue.

Please ask your child, if you haven't seen this notice. Spare copies are available at the office. The cost is $10 per child which includes the bus fare and pool entry and is payable online to

03 1573 0009816 00 or with cash/eftpos at the office.

We have gone live on DirectGroup Uniforms with our new Sports Shirts that you are able to purchase. We feel moving forward this is a great option and will save a lot of time issuing and collecting sports shirts. At this time we still have our other sports shirts for anyone that is playing and has not purchased their own yet. Check them out at:

https://dgstore.co.nz/collections/stanley-avenue-school

You can purchase the sport shirts and they arrive directly to your address and they even have Afterpay so that it makes it possible to budget. We are looking forward to seeing these appearing on our sports fields.
