Thank you to the 96 parents who have responded so far to the finishing time survey. Please make sure you have your voice heard in this. This closes on Wednesday 17 June. The results and decision will be published next week in the newsletter.

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.

We have been issued with the NZ COVID-19 Contact tracing App specific to our school. This will be available at the gate and in classrooms for those of you who dont have the ability to download our School App. Of course, you will still be able to sign in at the classrooms if you don't have either app.

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

Friday 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!

If you would like to help this young man break the world record, please drop your keyrings and key chains to the school office and we will send them off.

This is my son Jacob. He has Aspergers. This is one of the only photos I have of him smiling. A very rare occasion. He is turning 16 this year in September. He is key ring obsessed and one day would like to break the world record for keyrings and key chains (Only 62,200 to go )

I know it’s a few months away but I would like to surprise him with as many as I can. If you would like to send him a key ring from wherever you are in the world would be amazing.
