Term 2 Week 6 - 13 June 2022
Planting Day
We were very lucky to have some fruit trees donated by Balance Fertilizer. A group from Balance called out to school last week with the trees and helped our students plant them in our orchard. They will be a welcome source of food once they start producing.
Open Day and Pink Day
It was wonderful to have a large number of parents, grandparents and whanau come to our Open Day. The children were super proud to show their whanau their work and classrooms.
The Student Council Pink Day was a great way to highlight our anti-bullying focus.

School Photos Postponed Until 16th June
These will now be taken on Thursday 16th June here at school. Photos have been postponed due to a lot of children and staff being off with illness. An order form was sent home a couple of weeks ago for school photos. You must have your ONLINE / PREPAID orders to Liz Davies Photography by Wednesday 15th June. If you would rather send in your order form to the school office, please have the correct money enclosed with it.
REMINDERS
- Cyber Safety Agreements . We are still waiting for more of these forms. If you need an new one, please contact the school office.
- Carpark and gate. Please come to the gate in the carpark to collect your children at the end of the day. We do not want children walking through the carpark without an adult as it is unsafe with the amount of cars and limited parking. We have a teacher on duty at the gate each day to supervise. Can we ask parents and visitors to make sure they close the gates if you use them? We have a few children that may be prone to walking out an open gate. Thank you.
- Absences. A reminder that it is important to contact the school before 9.30am when your child will be absent. You can either phone, email or let us know via our Skool Loop app. We need to know where your children are so we know they are safe and can mark them correctly on the roll. See details in this newsletter on how to download our Skool Loop App.
- Iceblock Sales. Ice Blocks are for sale again to raise funds for the school. Many children who come to school with $2 like to buy their friend an ice block. Please could you send a note to say they are allowed to do this? The Room 6 children do ask but a note would be easier for them.
