Kia ora koutou,
Wow, what a week last week was!!
Lots of learning, a sleepover and gorge walk for the middle school and an amazing weekend fun run organised by the PTA.
Well done to everyone involved.
This week please remember that there is a teacher only day on Thursday - therefore school is only Monday to Wednesday this week and Wednesday to Friday next week.
Finally, please continue to send drinks bottles in with your children. We are waiting on another test to confirm the safety of our drinking water which should be with us this week.
Have a lovely Easter break!
Thanks
Doug
Sleepover at School (and Karangahake Gorge Walk!)
Colour Fun Run
We had a lovely day on Sunday with our Colour Fun Run - thanks to the PTA and our lovely local fire brigade for a heap of organising and sorting out!
Thames Valley Swimming
On Tuesday we had 11 amazing children who were part of the Te Aroha team which went to the Thames Valley Swimming Champs in Thames and they returned with some fantastic results! Congratulations on your awesome achievements and for representing Te Aroha so well. A huge thank you must also go out to the parents who were there to support and cheer on our tamariki.

Uniform
You can order the uniform here and they will be delivered shortly afterwards to school. Mrs. Legg has uniforms for sizing if you would like to come in and have your child try some on.
Please remember that our old school uniform is acceptable in school for at least the next two years so please don't worry about throwing things out.
Finally, please remember that we prefer black plain shorts or a skirt. Shoes is up to everyone but Crocs are only allowed without gibbets as we simply had too many go missing!
