Welcome back to Term 2. A warm welcome to Wyatt and his family. Wyatt has started in Awhi and we wish him and his family happy school days here at Spring Creek School. Welcome back also to Rana Moanaroa, who joins us again as a Learning Assistant, it's great to have him as part of our team again.
Thank you to everyone who helped out with the end of term working bee. The transformation of the old edible garden area into a Butterfly and bughouse is well underway. In addition, the current vegetable gardens are now ready to plant, as are the seating and planter boxes behind the classroom blocks.
The move to the Orange traffic light setting brings some changes to our school procedures. Face masks are no longer required to be worn at school. Current health advice is that it is encouraged for masks to be worn indoors, we will be leaving this to the individual's choice. We are continuing to keep other health measures in place at school, ensuring indoor spaces are well ventilated, maintaining good hand hygiene and cough/sneeze into elbows, distancing when possible and very importantly staying home if we're sick. We have RAT tests here at school, provided by Waikawa Marae, to share with whānau who need them. Let Cara in the office know if you need some and we will get these to you.
Our whole school hui's every second Monday, starting next week, Monday 9 May at 9.00 am will be open for whānau to attend if they wish.
If you have any Shower Bombs still at home or money from sales, please send these to the office as soon as possible. We're tallying up how much we made for the school with this fundraiser. If you'd like to purchase any more, we do have some available in the office, just pop in and see Cara.
