The Supper Club is an initiative to support the provision of meals and care packages to HNPS families in need.

We have a freezer in the school hall which can store meals and baking for the school leadership team to distribute at its discretion when a family within the school community is faced with a challenge such as bereavement or sickness.

The Home and School Association would like to reach out to the school community to contribute to the Supper Club. This can be a meal or some baking (bought or homemade) to help support family mealtimes and/or school lunch boxes.

If you are time short, or not keen on cooking or baking there are loads of great local cafes and bakeries you might like to purchase something from and add to the freezer. Pies, quiche’s, soups, muffins, loaves etc would all be greatly appreciated.

If you do like to cook and/or bake, there are containers and labels beside the freezer in the hall to take home, fill, label and drop back into the freezer.

The families in need are usually nominated by someone in the school community, or a teacher and we then arrange to have the meals collected by the family or delivered to their home.

We wish to respect the privacy of families receiving these care packages so will be keeping this information confidential.

If you have any further questions or would like to nominate a family in need, please email homeandschool@hnps.school.nz

The Yummy sticker promotion is set to go again for 2022, time to get crunching apples and pears. Please collect stickers and cut out codes.

You can bring the sticker into each classroom or put a chart up on your fridge to collect, then bring the sheet in. You can get these off the yummy website or collect a sheet from the school office.

Last year we got some awesome sports equipment to top up the and classroom resources with all the stickers collected.

One difference this year is the Hailstone Hero apple bags. The wild spring storm in Hawkes' Bay, damaging a significant amount of The Yummy Co apple crop with hail. Although these look funny, they still taste yummy. The official cut-out is not on these bags, but you can collect the round bar-code sticker as 10 points. These are Yummy apples but branded Hailstone Heroes and available in both New World and Pak’n Save.

Collection goes until the end of Term 3 – Thanks!

We know a fire in your community can come as a shock and make people think about fire safety in their own homes. A fire can happen to anyone, so we ask you to please communicate to your tamariki two things they can do to protect them, their home and whānau in the event of a fire.

1. Check their smoke alarms are working. If they don’t have any, let us know and we can help. Either call 0800 693 473 or email Hawke’sBayDistrict-CRMTeam@fireandemergency.nz

2. Have an escape plan for anyone living in their house. They can create a plan at https://www.escapemyhouse.co.nz/
