New Students

A big HNP welcome to new student Cheyla-Jay Hawkins who started with us this week.

Student Placement Considerations for 2022

While we do not encourage parent requests, if there is something specific that we may not already know about your child that could impact our class placement decision making, please let me know by the end of today on principal@hnps.school.nz. Tomorrow teachers will begin the tricky process of making up class lists.

If your child will no longer be at HNPS in 2022, can you please let the school office know by emailing Kerin on admin@hnps.school.nz Thank you.

Covid

Just a reminder that parents who support the school in a supervision or support role will need to be vaccinated and prove their vaccination status. This includes coaching, managing a sports team (regardless of whether onsite or not), school trips/camps, parent help in the classroom. If you are currently a coach or manager of a school sports team, please email a screenshot of your Vaccination Card to pjackson@hnps.school.nz or come in to see Kerin or Paula in the office and they can record the details. We must sight the card, not just rely on your word. It has been made very clear that if unvaccinated staff or volunteers are in a teaching or supervisory role, then we are breaking the law.

We respectfully ask that you please keep students at home if they are unwell. In this current climate we need to be vigilant, so please do not be offended if we ask you to collect your child if they are showing signs of being unwell. If this is the case we advise that you contact your health professional for advice. Thank you for your understanding at this challenging time.

Year 4-6 Triathlon

I would like to congratulate all our Year 4-6 students who took part in the Triathlon at the Village Green last Friday. It was a fantastic day and all our students did so well. The most impressive aspect for me was the huge amount of encouragement and support students showed one another. A special thank you to Mrs Burrough, Mrs Cooper and Mrs Cranswick for their hard work in getting this event up and running. We were short-staffed last week and I was most impressed by our staff and how they stepped up. A big thank you to the core group of parents who helped make the day a success. You are gems!

Senior Cultural Show

Tomorrow we have our Senior Cultural show at the Peak Vision Church. It is a real shame we can not have parents in attendance, but we will record the performance. This will be a great opportunity for our students to showcase their talents at a wonderful venue. A special thank you to Ms Washington and the Arts team for their hard work in coordinating this show.

Have a fantastic week everyone.
