Newsletter Week 7, Term 4
Huirangi Primary School, Monday 29th November 2021
Kia Ora Koutou, Hello Everyone!
We have a wonderful day today celebrating the premiere of the Lion King. We had a parade of the all main characters before watching the movie in our classrooms. Children enjoyed the Lion King with some popcorn and our annual Annie Rowe sweet treat.
Thanks again to the outstanding effort Amy Woodward put into bringing this all together. The videography by Graeme Tidswell from Orbit Video has turned our production into a memorable keepsake. The quality is amazing. You can purchase your own copy of the Lion King for $10 by contacting the school office, or by emailing: amy@huirangi.school.nz before 3pm this Wednesday, 1st December.
Please send the money to school with your child, or pay by direct credit to our school account: Huirangi School Board of Trustees 15-3945-0210342-00. Reference your name and Lion King.
Details and instructions for downloading the video will be sent to you once you have registered and payment has been made.
While we are on the countdown to the end of the school year, our teachers are very busy completing End of Year Reports and collating data. This is can be a very hectic time for teachers. We are really focusing on upholding our school R.A.F.T values to ensure we make make it to the end of the year with all of our learners leaving for the holidays on a positive and happy note.

Waitara Foodbank Pataka Kai Food Drive 2021
This year instead of having a Grocery Raffle, we have decided to donate to the Waitara Foodbank. We will be collecting starting this week, and will deliver our schools contribution on the last week of term.
Below is a schedule of items that we will be collecting each week. There will be a box in the office for food items to be dropped into.
Thank you for supporting this cause!

WEEK 4 6 DEC TO 12 DEC
TREATS AND SNACKS
Any non perishable foodstuffs you are able to give is greatly appreciated !
School Swimming Pool
Due to Covid restrictions, the pool will not be open to the public this year. The Board of Trustees has made this difficult decision following guidance from the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, local council pools and some neighbouring schools.
We trust that everyone will respect this decision:- the pool water will not be kept in a safe condition to swim in over this time either, so please don't jump the fence.

Also, please note down the actual reason your child is away:- simply saying 'I am keeping ** home today' is NOT a reason and the child will be marked truant.
