Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who supported our class markets during the Booktown festival. Special thanks to our staff, volunteers, and the FOSTA group for sharing their time and talents, making this event a huge success. The funds raised will support our class trips this year.
Last week, we celebrated Support Staff Day, honouring the incredible contributions of our support staff. Their hard work and dedication are invaluable, and we deeply appreciate everything they do to support our tamariki.
We are eagerly looking forward to our annual Cross Country event at Kahutara School. Students, please remember to bring your own lunch and come ready to cheer on your classmates and enjoy a day of fitness and fun.
Don't forget to sign up for our latest fundraiser: Bingo Night! It's sure to be an evening full of fun and prizes.
Please note that school will be closed for staff-only days and King's Birthday from May 30th to June 3rd.

Winter Illnesses
As we enter the winter season, it's important to address the topic of student attendance. Winter illnesses, such as colds and the flu, are common during this time of year. We understand that these illnesses can affect your child’s ability to attend school.
If your child is too sick to learn, please keep them at home to rest and recover. This helps prevent the spread of illness and ensures that they return to school ready to participate fully in their classes.
If your child needs to stay home due to illness, it is the caregiver’s responsibility to inform the school. You can do this by sending a text to the school office or by using the Hero app. Prompt communication helps us keep accurate attendance records and ensures the safety of all our students.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a healthy learning environment for everyone.

Attendance Dues
The Archdiocese of Wellington attendance dues team are in the process of sending out school fee notices, but due to the implementation of a new software system (CathConnect) , some may experience a delay or inaccuracies. We appreciate your patience as the team works diligently to distribute all statements and address your inquiries promptly. Thank you for your understanding during this transition.
