Principal's Piece
Tena Koutou Katoa Weber whanau,
Today we celebrated our recent book fair with a book character dress up day. It was fantastic to see so many of our tamariki dressed up like their favourite book characters. A huge thank you also to Trudy Hales for her time and hard work in organising the book fair - it was a great success!
Unfortunately yesterday the Inter school Athletics was postponed. The postponement date is Wednesday 23rd November. We are looking forward to a warm sunny day next Wednesday. The times and venue are all the same. Good luck to all our competitors.
Just a reminder also tomorrow is a Teacher only day so school is closed to students.
Have a lovely rest of your week
Kind regards
Lisa

Bridge Inspections - Starting 14th November
Bridge Inspections
Beginning the week of 14.11.2022 through until 01.12.2022 Tararua Alliance will be carrying out principal bridge inspections on behalf of Tararua District Council. The attachment below shows a list of bridges, the dates expected to be done and expected delays at each bridge.
They aim to clear bridges as quickly as possible for emergency services and reduce wait times for school buses. Some of the dates may be subject to change and weather delays may mean not all bridges listed will be inspected.
They aim to not hold the buses up but there may be delays, so if buses are later than expected and these bridges are out your way not to worry.
Gift Basket Donations
This year at the Weber Christmas Market, there will be a basket of goodies up for grabs on behalf of the school. If you have any tasty treats or homemade goodies that you would like to donate to our gift basket, they will be gratefully received, please bring into the office.
😷Sick Bay Bedding. 🤕
If anyone has any spare bedding (pillowcases, sheets & duvet covers) they would like to donate to our sickbay please drop off to the office.
Thank you

Please can they be returned either to the school office, or dropped into Wai Splash pools. Thank you
