We have certainly had enough rain to last all of winter over the last couple of weeks. This has delayed a few things we had planned around the school but nothing of major importance. It in nice to see the new carpark concrete laid and it wont be too long before the line markings are done and we can open that up again. At least the rain has been positive for the grass growth.
I would like to congratulate our tamariki for their participation in the school cross country a couple of weeks ago. We certainly had great weather that day and it was amazing to enjoy this with you, our community alongside us. Tomorrow the top 5 runners in Year 4-6 top 5 will represent our school at the Papamoa Cluster Cross Country. I wish those runners all the best.
Concern
We have had a call from a concerned local business owner about a near miss on Parton Road. While I know that waiting for the road patrollers can take an extra minute, as a school we would prefer that one minute vs a serious accident. PLEASE use the crossings provided and keep our tamariki safe.
Matariki Event and Public Holiday
Please make sure you have marked on your calendar our school Matariki celebration on Wednesday 22nd June. A night to enjoy and celebrate alongside your children. Also a reminder that Friday 24th June there is no school as it is the first Matariki public holiday.
School Board
Thank you to those parents who have made inquiries around the school board. There is still an opportunity if you would like to find out more. See below for more details.
Finally, a big thank you to those people who have offered to sponsor the school to support the many projects we have underway here at school.
I look forward to meeting and seeing many of you at our Matariki evening.
