Kia Ora Ano

Goodness what a very cold and stormy day! It is hard to believe that there are only 7 school days left of term 2. Our learners and our SFDS team have worked hard this term and are looking forward to a chance to refuel over the holidays.

Reporting A reminder that mid-term learner reports will be coming home this Friday 2 July and that these will be what our mid-year whanau, ākonga (learner) and kaiako (teacher) hui will be based on. These will be held next week - Wednesday 7 July and Thursday 8 July between 3-6pm. If you have not yet booked a time you can do this by going to the following website www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and entering the code zmwsp

Please note that on these days school finishes at 2:30pm.

Online Safety. Thank you to those whanau who joined me last night for the online safety hui with Anjie Webster – you can never learn enough about what our tamariki are dealing with in the online space. For those who are interested there is a template of how you can create a family plan around online safety in the office.

SCHOOL SWIMMING SPORTS

We had heaps of fun at this event last Wednesday. We were really impressed with all those who gave either the qualification or participation or both races a go! Everyone who participated earned house points for their house which go towards the next house cup presentation.

Those who came in the top two of the qualifying races, will go on and compete in the Southern Zone Swimming Sports which is being held on Tuesday 7 September (week 7, term 3). The top four boys and girls in each year group in the 25m freestyle event will make up the relay teams which will also compete. These swimmers will receive more information closer to the time.

A huge thank you to those parents who came and helped - Shane London, Tim Kuper, Ana Rodriguez, Emma Cameron and Rachael Setter - we really appreciate your time and couldn't have run the event without you.

Bookings can be made at www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and the event code is zmwsp. If you have any questions or difficulty booking your conferences, please contact Suzanne or Francesca at the school office.

CONTACTING THE OFFICE

The office can get very busy at times and at those times we can't always get to the phone right away, however if you leave a message we will get back to you as soon as we are able.

A little cheat code is if you call the 9397370 number you can press Zero (0) once you start to hear our lovely learners start talking- this will put you straight though to the office without having to listen to all the options available. Same process if you want to leave an absence message- Just press One (1) once you start hearing the message.
