PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora,
Welcome back to Term 4. It is hard to believe that it is already the last term of the year.
We are really disappointed that we have needed to cancel a number of events due to COVID restrictions. Greats and Grans Day tomorrow will not go ahead and we have also cancelled our School Athletics Day.
With so much uncertainty around levels we have made the decision to not go ahead with the whole school production this year.
In saying this there are things for our tamariki to look forward to.
In Week 3 we are planning to start swimming, so look out for the notices with reminders about bringing togs to school.
A reminder that it is Labour Weekend this weekend. We will see everyone back on Tuesday 26th October.
Ngā mihi

Glenholme School Principal
