PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora tātou,
The weeks roll on as the Christmas break moves nearer. It is an exciting and busy time. Children are working hard in classes, sports teams are in action, trips are underway and staff continue to plan for engaging and exciting programmes. It is wonderful to see.
It was lovely to see so many whānau at the Junior Cross Country and Colour Dash, thank you for making the time to support your children and all those at Levin East School. Congratulations to our Interschool Cross Country team who ran their hearts out at Poroutawhao, finishing 5th overall.
We are looking at classes for 2023, so if you have, or know of, any new enrolments, please contact our school office. We are currently staffing our classes for 2023 - a key activity at this time of year. Knowing how many staff we need is a big part of that. The office contact number is 06-3687494.
Next Wednesday, 16th November, our teachers are attending Paid Union Meetings as they negotiate a new collective agreement with the Ministry of Education. I am sure you hope these negotiations acknowledge and recognise the amazing work our teachers do. We will remain open, but programmes will be different.
On the same day, our amazing New World Grocery Grab is drawn. This is a new fundraiser for us, and I urge you to grab your tickets as soon as you can. I thank the FundTogether team for making this happen.
Have a great week, and enjoy the photos.
