KIA ORA/GREETINGS TO ALL PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF THE SCHOOL
It has been a busy week with Constable Catherine in our classrooms while we are working on “Keeping Ourselves Safe”. It was great to have parents at our information afternoon last week. Please remember that you are welcome to contact us or Constable Catherine if you were unable to make the meeting and still have questions.
BASKETBALL
Our Senior Basketball team wearing their new uniforms purchased by the school. A big thank you to Phillippa Reuben who is organising the teams and Hayley Fenton who will be taking lunch time practice. Good Luck to all 3 teams!
CROSS COUNTRY FUN RUN
This year we will be holding our Adidas Fun Run on Friday 25th August . Students have all been issued with a sponsorship leaflet today and all participants receive a certificate on the day. Last year was very successful and we hope to raise enough funds to purchase new Sporting Equipment once again. We will shortly be registered on the website http://schoolfundraising.co.nz/ and students will be able to register on site.

ALL THINGS CALF CLUB
Can we please have all Calf Club and Group Day trophies returned to school as soon as possible. Please clean them before returning.
Does anyone have kids or lambs that can be borrowed or purchased for Calf Club. We have had families asking. If you do, or know of any, please let the office know.
We will be running the Grocery Raffle again this year so donations of goods can be dropped into the office from now on. Please check expiry dates on items. The grocery raffle is always well received and it wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of the school community, so thank you.
Calf Club entry forms and rules will be available from the office on Monday. Attached is a link to the rules which have been updated this year, so please read them. Calf Club Rules 2017
REMINDERS
Boys Day Out forms need to be returned to school and don’t forget your $5.00 for a burger.

Thanks to Calum Lee for the following riddle.

We will give you the answer next week, but if you think you know and you’re at school next week come into the office and I’ll let you know if you are correct.
