Glenholme School Newsletter
Term 2- Week 1, 5th May 2022
Kia ora koutou,
The school has been a hive of activity with the learning programmes all up and running. Across the school all of our tamariki and staff are happy to be back into the routine of school life.
This week we have all welcomed the change to the Orange Traffic Light setting. It has been great to see our tamariki having the opportunity to play with their friends and whānau who are in different teams. Hopefully there will be no need to return to restricted areas in the playground anytime soon.
A reminder that we have Academic Achievement Discussions next week
School closes at 2.00pm on Wednesday 11th May and Thursday 12th May
If your child needs to be looked after here at school until 3.00pm please let the class teacher or the school office know.
Appointments are now open and can be made online www.schoolinterviews.co.nz
Our event code is q72p5
If you are unable to book via the website please phone our School Office (348 1489) to make you bookings.
Please bring your child with you to the Academic Achievement Discussions so that they can tell you about their learning and their next learning steps.
The Golden Questions your child can talk about.
Where am I now? How do I know?
How am I going? What do I need to learn?
Where to next? Where am I heading? What is my goal?
We have an exciting term to look forward to with everyone already training for winter sports codes, the school cross country and a special event later in the term which is a TRY Challenge. Look out for more information about how you can be involved in these events either as a spectator or marshall.
