Enjoy your tamariki - they are taonga - play, have fun, joke about, be silly, laugh, celebrate their success (and yours) and always remember, you are loved.

Next Friday (24 June) is Matariki, don't forget School will be closed.

Keep an eye out on the projects & celebrations going on in your child's class next week.

Friday 1 July - TWO MORE WEEKS!

Spaces are filling fast, so if you haven't already booked, get in quick to choose your time for your child's Learning and Wellbeing Conference in Week 9!

How does this work?

Every student, along with their parent(s)/caregiver(s), comes to meet with their child's teacher. Each meeting is for 20 minutes and the aim is to review how learning is going, reflect on progress, talk about hopes and goals for the rest of the year.

When are they?

You can choose from either after school on Thursday 30 June (3.30pm - 8.00pm) or all day on Friday 1 July (8.00am-4.00pm)

Is Friday a school day?

There are no classes on Friday, only conferences, so children only come to school for their 20 minute meeting, then go home again. (Thursday is a normal school day as conferences don't start until after school.)

How do I book?

Easy! All bookings are made online through School Interviews. Our event code is hfszt

Simply enter your details and your child's name, then choose your child's teacher and the time that suits you. If you need to change your time, you can log back in to change it.

If you are not able to book, please contact the office or speak with your child's teacher.

For the last few weeks of the term the PB4L team and school as a whole is focusing on our school value Kia Manawanui. We are hoping to strengthen this value across our Kura and beyond. This will help us have a strong and positive finish to term 2.

Chef Teresa celebrated her Birthday last week. Our lovely Rimu Tamariki sung a special Happy Birthday song and made this marvelous playdough cake!

Look at those smiles -

Leo Jeffrey, Cohen Robinson, Hudson Ryan, Kaiba Tuapawa-Poutu, Teresa Julian, Emily Judd, Indy Wylde-Prestney, Sarah Jenkins, Cyruz Ingram, Emmie Lucinsky and Briar Walthew

The meal looks appealing and is well balanced. It is also a good weight for this age group. The minimum protein requirements have been met with the chicken, cheese and hummus combined. The wholemeal pizza base looked lovely and soft. Great work!

We agree: Great work team!

A few weeks ago a team of 5 students took part in the inventionator competition. This is over 4 half days and it's a chance for our students to work with other students from all over New Zealand, in a problem solving challenge.

This year we had a team compete, and they won the Rationale Category for their product the Hydroband.

Special thanks needs to go to Sarah Stainthrope who worked with the group for the 4 half days, she was an amazing support for both the kids and Whaea Claire.

The team is:

Macy Murphy - absent from the photo.

Kingston Benton - absent for the photo.

"I went to Interschool for netball. We took two netball teams, I was in the A netball team. The A team won their game and the B team lost their game, both games were really good and fun. Football lost their game by 6 and Rugby won their game. It was a really fun day and a hard game of netball." Mika Falaniko, Kowhai 3
