Newsletter week 8 Term 1
East Gore School 1st April 2021
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
The term is really flying by and it is hard to believe that we are into April today.
There is only a couple of weeks left until the school holidays with the last day of the term being Friday 16 April. We were lucky to have the Easter Bunny visit this morning, sprinkling eggs around the junior playground. This is just a reminder that school is closed tomorrow (Good Friday) for Easter. We also have Easter Monday and Easter Tuesday next week. We will be returning to school on Wednesday 7 April.
The staff are noticing the amount of bad language being used in the playground and some classrooms at the moment by some students. We are not tolerating this sort of language at all. Unfortunately, some students think it is ok to use it in their daily conversations. We will be making contact with parents of students who are consistently using bad language so we can work together to change the language to more positive choices.
I think the bike track has been a great success for our students and the wider school community. It is getting plenty of use during break times and I hear from a number of community members that it is well used after school and during the weekends. We really want to encourage students being active throughout the day and the pump track is definitely supporting this. The track is mostly used by scooters, however on a Tuesday or Thursday students can bring their bikes along and use the track instead. Students on bikes must wear a helmet.
Just a reminder to please look after each other and the school property if you are using the track and grounds outside of school hours. Mr Boyer doesn’t appreciate having to clean up the rubbish that some people are leaving around our school.
Ngā mihi o te Aranga me kia pai tō rā whakata (Happy Easter and have a great weekend).
