Term 2 - Week 5, 2nd June 2022
Kia ora koutou,
We had a wonderful day yesterday at our Annual Cross Country Event. We were so lucky that the wet weather held off and the course was not really wet underfoot. A huge thank you goes to Whaea Susan for her wonderful organization which enabled the morning to run so smoothly. Thank you also to Matua Andrew who worked with Whaea Susan to set up and dismantle the course. Thank you to all of the parents, staff members and Big Brother, Big Sister volunteers who were marshalls.
This was a wonderful event for our tamariki with the highlights being the bus ride up to the tree trust, competing in the event and then sushi for lunch when they returned to school.
We need your help with some of our school uniform items which have disappeared from school. Could you check your child’s polar fleece and return any that do not belong to your child. I know that it is easy to pick up the wrong polar fleece thinking it belongs to you.
Enjoy your long weekend with your whānau, including Teacher Only Day tomorrow.
