Ms Geange:

It has been great to see the high participation levels in many of the winter sports codes that are on offer here at MIS. The Day 6 winter sports sessions are proving to be worthwhile enabling our students to develop their skills even further outside of their normal weekly practices. We acknowledge that our students are extremely busy, throwing themselves into many codes, so please, we ask that if for some reason your child is unable to play or practice, that this is communicated to their coach.

Due to a number of injuries, we are needing a few more students to play netball, so if your child is willing to join a team for the remainder of the season, please email me at olivia@mis.school.nz.

Enrolment packs for 2022 are now available and can be collected from the school office. Some packs have been delivered to our main contributing schools or they can also be downloaded off our school website. We will not be having an Open Night, but if you know of anyone who is wanting to enrol their child, they are welcome to make an appointment to have a tour of the school. Please phone the school office on 06 3700088 to make arrangements.

With the holiday break coming up, it is a good time to stock up on stationery, correct coloured hair ties and socks. Over recent weeks we have seen numerous variations of our school uniform creeping in, so please make sure that your child is wearing the correct school uniform. MIS Uniform

Arts enrichment has been exciting this term with students fully involved in the tasks and making the most of their learning. There has been such a variety of activities for them to choose from, with all students getting their first or second choice. Some of their pieces have been displayed in the front foyer of the school, so feel free to pop in and have a look at the wonderful works of our budding young artists.
