Raureka School Term 4 Week 2
Newsletter 27 October 2021
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora koutou katoa, Talofa lava, Kia orana,
I hope you had a great Labour Weekend break and have been able to have some quality time with your family.
The Year 6's headed off to camp yesterday and they are doing extremely well. They had a huge walk yesterday and made it to the top of table mountain. Today they have some great activities planned as well.
The rest of the senior team were cooking sausages yesterday and having other exciting activities today and for the rest of the week.
I am very impressed with the year 5's who have now started doing Road Patrol, they were trained last week by Constable Che and he was impressed with their ability.
The dental team had intended to be at Raureka school soon. However we can’t park in our spot due to the building work. Instead we will be just down the road at Ebbett Park School. You can contact us on 0272342193, and we can see any children you have dental concerns about. The van will still arrive in due course.
Sports Uniforms: Please return them as soon as possible. We still have a number of children who have some sports uniforms at home. We need these back. If they aren't returned a bill will be sent home asking for payment as the uniform will need to be replaced.
As we are in Term 4 all children need to wear a potae (hat). Hats can be bought from the office for $10:00.
- Please remember that classes start at 8:55 a.m. each day and all children should be at school, unless they are sick, ready to start then.
- Children are required to wear our correct Raureka School uniform - no exceptions. Royal blue polo-shirt $30, royal blue polar-fleece $40 are both available from the office. Shorts, skorts, skirts, longs must be plain black and can be purchased in town.
- Please remember that in case of an emergency we need to have an up to date contact number for you and for your emergency contact person, also a current address - Please let the office know of any changes.

Medical Reminders
We often have a few ‘bugs’ around the school.
· A common one is a nasty cough/flu type illness. Keep your children home if they have symptoms of this as it spreads easily.
· If your child has had vomiting or diarrhoea, they MUST stay home for 2 days after the last event. This illness definitely spreads quickly around the school.
· Headlice are always around so make sure that you check your child’s hair regularly (we suggest weekly) and treat the hair if necessary. We have treatments available from school for free. Just pop in and we can give you some.
· If your child is at all unwell, please keep them home so that they don’t pass bugs on to other children. Also if a child is feeling unwell they are not able to learn easily and are much better off at home snuggled up in bed.
Don’t forget to contact the school office to let us know when your child is unwell please.
Volunteers needed for supervision of our school patrollers. The children are well trained, it is just a matter of having an adult supervise from 8.30-9.00. We need help on the following days - Front Gate: Wednesday, Friday, Back Gate: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday.
