PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora koutou,
Last Friday the Year 5 students went to the Tauroa Road reserve to plant trees in the newly acquired area of Te Mata Park. This will remain a very special area for these students in the years to come as it matures. A big thank you to Mrs Cooper for coordinating this event, teachers, students and the amazing parents who supported them. Click on the link below from last weekend's NZ Herald.
Learning Conferences will be taking place on Wednesday 4th and Thursday 5th August. The purpose of these conferences is to revisit the goals(s) set and Term 1, set new goals and discuss the Term 2 school report which comes out on Friday. Conferences will be 15 minutes in duration. On Wednesday 4th August school will close and conferences will begin at 1:00pm. We would be most grateful if students could be collected at 12:30 pm on Wednesday 4th August, although we do understand this is not possible for all families. Please let the school office know should your child need to remain at school until 3pm that day. All remaining students will be supervised in the hall. Normal school hours will resume on Thursday 5th August.

On the first day of Term 3, we will have a Powhiri for the students who are starting on the first day of term. This will be a scaled-down version, as we will be using the school hall, Only the Kapa Kaha and our Year 1 classes will make up the Tangata Whenua. If there is a member of the public who would like to do the speaking on behalf of the Manuhiri please let us know asap. This Powhiri is open to all whānau who have joined our school after the school year started. At the conclusion there will be a morning tea in the hall. We would love to see you there.
Thank you all for your support during what has been another busy and successful term. I would also like to thank our wider staff for their excellent work with all stakeholders. Please take care if you are travelling over the holiday break and we look forward to seeing you all back safe and well next term.
Have a great week everyone.

TONIGHT: HAVELOCK NORTH SCHOOLS' MATARIKI CELEBRATION
A special Matariki celebration involving HNHS, HNI, Haumoana, Lucknow, Te Mata and our school is being held at Havelock North High School in the quad area from 5.00 - 7.00 pm on Tuesday 6th July.
Our HNPS Kapa Haka is performing at 5.40 pm and these students are asked to be there by 5.15 pm to warm up. Kapa Haka students are to wear school uniform, please. We will provide headbands. We will be shown to the classroom where we can warm up with Whaea Robin, Mrs Field and Mrs Wilkins. Children can be collected from that room after our item is over.
At 5 pm there is a karakia to open the event.
Available from 5 pm onwards:
- Food stalls (cash only - no eftpos) with sausage sizzle, hamburgers, Hangi, Haumoz scones, hot chocolate and slice
- Artwork from all contributing schools will be on display in the library
- Face painting

Parking will be available in the main school carpark, along the back of the school and street parking.
If it is wet, it will be held in the HNHS gym.
To give back to our community, we ask that students bring a can or any food item (non-perishable) to our school by next Monday so we can prepare a hamper to donate to Women's Refuge. Please bring these items to your class teacher and they will be collected from there.
We look forward to seeing you at the Matariki celebration at the high school next week!
