Kia ora e te whānau
Thank you to all of our whānau who attended our Greats and Grans morning last Friday. It was a great turn out with many grandparents staying for the whole morning. I must say the look on the faces of some of our tamariki who did not know their grandparents were coming was priceless.
Today we took part in the National Shake Out Earthquake Drill at 9.30am. We have drills scheduled every term so that our tamariki know what to do if there is an earthquake, fire or a lockdown. Please ask your children to explain to you what they need to do in the case of an earthquake as it will help to reinforce the message.
Unfortunately at the weekend we had some speakers taken from the buildings. I know a few years ago these speakers were taken to be used on bikes. The result for us is that we can not hear the bell in three quarters of the school. While we are waiting to get the speakers replaced you may notice that it is hard to hear the bell ringing at the beginning and end of the day.
Advanced warning about Teachers Paid Union Meetings next month.
Primary and area teacher paid union meetings
Teachers in our school will be attending paid union meetings on the 22nd November to discuss the progress of negotiations for their collective employment agreements, the proposed unified public service pay offer and their Wāwāhi Tahā | Time 4 Tamariki campaign.
This campaign aims to win smaller class sizes, more support for high needs students, better recognition of cultural skills, greater job security for our essential relievers and to fairly value and recognise the work of teachers.
Our school will aim to ensure the least disruption to children's learning while upholding the right of teachers to participate in their union meeting.
