Kia ora Whānau,

It's hard to believe that the end of term 2 is nearly here. A reminder that our last day for term 2 is Friday 9th July with term 3 resuming on Monday 26th July. As we approach the last few days it is time to farewell four of our staff who will be leaving Bohally at the end of the term. Firstly our very best wishes go to Rachael Moran (R10) and Daina Crosbie (R23) as they depart on maternity leave. We also wish Sarah Porter (R2) and Paul Sparks (R4) well as they leave to take up teaching jobs at International Schools in Asia. With these departures, we welcome the following staff to our team for term's three and four: Lucy Denniston (R2), Christianna Morgan (R4), Helen Adams/Susie Glover (R10), and Elliot Robinson (R23), we know as a community you will all help to make them feel welcome.

The teachers are currently working on updating data on our Hero platform which will allow whānau to see where their children are working at in maths, reading, and writing, please be aware that this will be complete by the end of week 1 of term 3. There will be an opportunity to meet with your child's teacher in term 3 in week 4.

In this newsletter, I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported our School Quiz night. This was an excellent fundraiser, raising over $20,000 for our school. This money will go towards updating our school chrome books and the new shade structure/turf. The FABs committee did a wonderful job with organising this evening and we acknowledge the support from our school community for their generous donations.

We have opened enrolments for 2022. If you have children attending in 2022 please visit our school website and complete the online enrolment form.

Finally, I'd like to pass on a great big thank you to the staff and parents who have helped us this term with everything that goes on at our busy school from the school production, sports teams, fundraising, transport etc. We appreciate all the time and commitment that goes into our extra-curricular activities. Hopefully, you have all purchased tickets for Atarangi - Morning Sky, this is being performed at the ASB Theatre on Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th July, we'd love your support.

Have a wonderful holiday break with your children,

Ngā mihi Nicky
