Principal's Report
We have made it to the end of the another term here at East Gore. I know I say this each time but they just seem to fly by.
It was another busy one with an unexpected return to alert level 4. I think everyone took this change in their stride and carried on with online learning well, before returning to the classroom for the last few weeks. The playground this term has been a hit for everyone and once we got past the "sick" feeling from the swings and lunar, even more fun was had. It was awesome to see the sharing of the swings, where students had a turn for 2 minutes and then the next person had their turn.
This week we started our Neighbourhood Play Systems consultation. You might have noticed we were on the front page of The Ensign. This new initiative is an exciting journey for the school and wider community. We are lucky to work with the team from Active Southland and Mark at Sport NZ. This week Rooms Rimu and Rata drew different play options between their house and school, and created their favourite play activity using playdough. Yesterday we looked a photos of different green spaces around East Gore and the students wrote what they liked, didn't like and what would make it better. It was great to listen to them with some very good points made. Next term we will be asking East Gore community members what their thoughts are ... so watch this space!
Enjoy your holidays, and recharge your batteries before we race into Term 4 on 18 October.
Kia pai to hararei (have a great holiday).

Play is the Way for Term 3
Some Play Is The Way language you could use at home:
“Are you doing the right thing or the wrong thing?”
“Are you making a strong decision or a weak decision?”
“Are you being the boss or your decisions, or are you asking me to be your boss?”
Breakfast Club
You would need to supervised helpings of weetbix and make and spread toast and clean up after wards. If you can help for half an hour we would love to hear from you.
Just a reminder Breakfast Club starts at 8:30am and finishes at 8:53.
Thank you again to our volunteers who provide this service - if you would like to be involved for half an hour any day of the week please contact the office - helpers are always very welcome.
A huge shout out to BP Gore who very generously donate bread to Breakfast Club.
