Productions this week
During our Pasifika Celebrations Week, we have the excitement of stage productions in Years 3 and 4. Year 4 did a wonderful job yesterday evening, to be followed by our Year 3 stars tonight!
I'd like to congratulate all of our performers, with sincere thanks to the teachers for making the shows a fun, memorable experience for the children.
A lot of care, encouragement and rehearsal goes into bringing these performances together, and I'm sure the audience will agree that they did a fantastic job.
COVID Monitoring
It's easy to become complacent, but we want to remain vigilant to minimise incidence of COVID here at school. Currently, we have several reported cases in Year 6, with further cases expected. You can assist greatly in our mitigation measures by monitoring and testing, which everyone will (unfortunately) be familiar with by now.
On the bright side, we can draw on our experience to help control further spread, and we appreciate the community support in helping achieve this.
Upcoming PTA Events
Finally, tickets are still available for the PTA Movie Night (Aug 20), so don't miss out, and also see below for information about an upcoming PTA 'Casino Night' for the grown-ups!
