Macleans Primary School Community
Hi Everyone
What a terrific Rugby World Cup final the other day, although not that great if you are an All Blacks fan. I am sure we are all inspired by the All Black's efforts, Well done to the Springboks. The strength, skill, cohesion and resilience shown by the All Blacks and Springboks made for a great game for sure and a super example of professional sports and values in action. I wonder how many children who watched the game could align and match-up the Macleans Values with what they saw during the game?
PTA Colour Run on Sunday 5 November...tickets still available for purchase TOMORROW. This will be a great event so get your tickets now! See the notice below for more detail.
Parent voice helps us in our year review 2023 and Annual planning 2024. Please spend a few minutes and complete our 2023 Annual Parent Survey. Your thoughts and ideas will be shared and discussed at the next board meeting. Click here for community survey.
The Salvation Army Xmas Gifts Cazh raised over $500 for presents for families, and hot off the presses we raised over $400 for Mental health through 'Gumboot Friday' (held yesterday). I am sure the next Cazh Day on Friday 17 November - 'Cazh for a Can' - will be supported well.
Heaps of great information, updates and celebrations in this newsletter that cover all aspects of the Macleans Values and Macleans Learning vision.
Please enjoy this newsletter
Regards & Nga Mihi
