Glenholme School Newsletter
Week 7, Term 2, Thursday 17th June 2021
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Hola,
We have had an exciting day today with our tamariki competing at the Central Cluster Cross Country Event at Whakarewarewa School. We can all be extremely proud of our tamariki who are competing in the event. We will be able to let you know the results in the newsletter next week.
A reminder that in early Term 3 we have Academic Achievement Discussions. The bookings for these are now open and we look forward to seeing you all here on the 4th and 5th August to share the academic progress that your tamariki have made this year.
Glenholme School teachers who are members of NZEI Te Riu Roa will be attending a paid union meeting on Thursday 24th June, with some attending in the morning and others in the afternoon.
The purpose of these meetings is for teachers to discuss the priorities for the renegotiation of their collective agreement in 2022. Issues being discussed, such as school staffing levels, directly impact on the education of your children. These meetings are a critical component of the negotiation process and it is the legal right of all members to attend a meeting and have their say.
While there will be some impact on the usual school programme that day, we have adjusted the programme to minimise disruption, and the school will remain open."
