Kanohi ki te kanohi personalised learning conferences
Kia ora e te whānau,
Nau mai, haere mai. We welcome you to your child's personalised learning conferences for Term 1 2023. These will be held on Wenerei 1st and Taite 2nd February 2023. Your child will take an active part in the conference so will need to come along too. With teachers conferencing, it will not be the normal class programme. However there will be a qualified teacher available for instruction if needed.
To make a booking, please follow the link here, or scan the QR code above. All tamariki will remain in the same class for next year unless you have already been contacted.
Stationery for 2023
Please note that we have an option to purchase for returning students, or for new students. If your child is new to Te Rōhutu Whio they will already have some items that they can reuse next year. You can add or delete items to your cart on the My School website.
Uniforms
All tamariki should have a school polo shirt. You can choose from the polar fleece, sweatshirt and jacket for a warm layer. Please do not send tamariki in non uniform tops or hooodies.
You can choose any navy blue clothing for the bottoms eg skirt, shorts, trousers, active wear. Please make sure this is plain navy blue.
Tamariki can wear any shoes that are school appropriate, that your child can take off and put on by themselves. You can choose any colour socks, don't forget that we love bright colourful socks.
Period Products
We are very excited to let you know that all kura offer free period products for our tamariki. If your child would like to access these we have a form that they can fill out in the office. From here, products will be bagged up and available for pickup on a Friday.
We hope that this enables whānau to access an essential product for their health and
wellbeing.
If you have any questions at all please email katiet@terohutuwhio.school.nz
