Havelock North Primary School - 24th May 2022
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora koutou,
Welcome to Zoe & Alejandro who have made a great start in Rooms 21 and 9 respectively. We are very proud of you both.
Pink Shirt Day
Thank you for your support on Friday. We raised $596.60 towards the "Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying campaign.
Hui
A reminder that tomorrow night (Wednesday) we have a Whānau Hui from 5:30pm - 6:30pm on the quad between Room 24 and the Hall. This is also an opportunity to get some feedback from our community around developing our localised curriculum. We are interested to know what you want your child at Havelock North Primary to KNOW, UNDERSTAND and DO. There will be a free sausage sizzle on offer.
The order of events will be:
- Welcome from staff and students
- Quick discussion around localised curriculum/feedback from whānau while the Kapa Haka warm up
- Kapa Kaka perform - 4 items
- Karakia Kai /Sausage sizzle
As the Kapa Haka will be performing in the hall facing out to the Room 24/25 quad, I encourage you to wear something warm. Please RSVP to Tara Wilkins on twilkins@hnps.school.nz
Teacher Only Day
A reminder that next Friday 3rd June is a holiday for Havelock North State schools. Lucknow, HNI, Te Mata, Haumoana and ourselves have a day of professional development together.
Bizzy Bodz are contemplating opening next Friday if there is the demand. If you require their service can you please let them know by this Friday on 06 825 6088.
Solar panels
We are now over halfway towards achieving our $13,500 target. Sponsorship is $225 per panel, which we can accept as a donation to the School. If you would like to help the school with our solar panel project, please email pjackson@hnps.school.nz
Payments can be made by internet banking to account number 12 3439 0017857 00 or by cash or eftpos at the school office.
Before and After School Care
Before school we have a staff member on duty outside the hall from 8:15am. After School we have staff members outside the school on Campbell Street and in the Dell until 3:15pm. Outside of these hours the school is not responsible for students. From time to time families may be held up and are running late. Please let the office know if this is the case. Thank you!
Uniform
At the Board meeting last week there was some robust discussion about school uniform. There has been a small number of students who have been arriving at school in non--uniform socks. It was decided that black socks could be worn as well as white and navy blue. These socks need to be short (ankle to mid calf) and may have a small logo. The school has a supply of socks that students can wear for the day should they be required.
On the footwear front, Crocs are not to be worn to school as they are not suitable for a range of activities. Thank you for your support and understanding.
Have a great week everyone.

This is a fundraiser for the school, thanks for your support.
Please collect Yummy Stickers
The Yummy sticker promotion is set to go again for 2022, time to get crunching apples and pears. Please collect stickers and cut out codes.
You can bring the sticker into each classroom or put a chart up on your fridge to collect, then bring the sheet in. You can get these off the yummy website or collect a sheet from the school office.
Last year we got some awesome sports equipment to top up the and classroom resources with all the stickers collected.
One difference this year is the Hailstone Hero apple bags. The wild spring storm in Hawke's Bay, damaging a significant amount of The Yummy Co apple crop with hail. Although these look funny, they still taste yummy. The official cut-out is not on these bags, but you can collect the round bar-code sticker as 10 points. These are Yummy apples but branded Hailstone Heroes and available in both New World and Pak’n Save.
Collection goes until the end of term 3 – Thanks!

SUSHI AND PIE DAYS
Sushi and Pie Days Are Back
After a long absence due to Covid, starting this Friday, Home and School will again be running fundraising lunches three times per term.
This is a great way to get behind the school fundraising for those icing on the cake items, and give yourself a day off thinking about what to pack for lunch.
We’ll have the same menu of mince pies, meatballs, sausage rolls and four types of sushi rolls, and thanks to a new local supplier, we’ve reduced our carbon footprint further, with all products now sourced in the village.
The new rolls may be slightly smaller than the old ones, but they’re also cheaper so for those kids with a big appetite, you can get two for less than the price of one old one. Just select the Sushi and Pie menu when making your order.
Please check if your child's room number is correct before placing the order.
Enviro Corner - Term 2 Week 4
Endangered Organism Fundraiser 2022
Last year our Maui dolphin fundraiser was a great success. We raised
over $1000 for the Maui dolphin. It is time for our next endangered
organism fundraiser. This year we plan to learn about 5 endangered
organisms in Hawkes Bay that desperately need our support. These
organisms were recommended to us by the Department of
Conservation.
The 5 organisms are:
∙ Kakabeak
∙ Australasian bittern
∙ Black-billed gull
∙ Long-tailed bat
∙ Wainuia clarkia (which is a snail)
All these species are either nationally critical or nationally endangered. Our plan is to raise awareness for all these threatened species. Staff and children will then vote on which organism they think is most in need of our support. The organism with the most votes will be chosen for fundraising.
Rākau o te tau / Tree of the year NZ Aotearoa
We invite you to be part of Aotearoa's first-ever Rākau o te tau / Tree of the year Aotearoa.
Rākau o te tau / Tree of the year Aotearoa is for all New Zealanders. An interactive celebration of the special trees that are part of our lives and communities.
Tree of the Year is not about the most beautiful tree, but about the stories and heritage that connects us to our trees.
Voting is open until 31 May.
Vote counter hidden throughout final week.
Winning tree announced 5 June (NZ Arbor Day).

Join the Te Mata Park team on Arbor Day, Sunday 5 June, for our big Winter Planting Day of 2022. We will be planting in the new block near the ponds area, from 9-12, followed by a sausage sizzle.
We have an ambitious goal to plant 2,000 native trees on the day – another step towards our target of planting 60,000 native trees in four years. Our volunteers have been a big part of our planting success and it is wonderful to see our native plantings from the last few winters already thriving - thank you.
We hope you can join us and please share our Facebook post or forward on this email to help spread the word.
