BOT UPDATE
Kia ora koutou from the Board of Trustees.
Our last meeting was on Monday 9 May, where we were updated on the school hall upgrade. Plans have been finalised and are now with the Ministry for final approval. These will be shared on our new school website (turua.school.nz) which is now live and is a great place to find information on classes, news and events.
We were excited to hear that $4,400 has been received from Harcourts, which is half the funding needed for a sunshade for the junior play area. Thanks to Anika Sanders for her continued support in applying for funding and grants.
The Board will be holding a parent ‘working bee’ on Sunday 22 May from 10am–2pm on the school grounds. With our Principal and teachers, we’ve identified a number of activities to tidy up areas of our school. If you’re able to volunteer your time and energy, please sign up for specific tasks on the list provided. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you there.
Our next meeting will be held on 20 June at 5.15pm in the school staff room.
