KIA ORA/GREETINGS TO ALL PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF THE SCHOOL
An exciting day for our boys today with lots of fun activities planned for the “Boys Day Out”. Let’s hope the weather holds out too!!

PARENT INTERVIEWS
A reminder that these are on next Thursday with teachers looking forward to discussing your child’s achievements and goals. Please return the booking form as soon as possible to ensure your desired time is available. These have been sent home with students today. Link attached: Letter to Parents August 2017
Please note:
- Siblings are not invited to the conference of a brother or sister
- Students in Rooms 4 and 6 are not expected to be present for the conference, but the decision is up to you. We are happy for them to play outside if you have them with you. It is important that our more senior students attend with parents however.
- Conferences last for twelve minutes and you are asked to leave when that time is up so as the next conference can begin and the teachers and other parents can keep to schedule. If you feel at the end of the interview that you need more time, please contact the teacher at a later date to arrange a further meeting.
DAFFODIL DAY
We will be supporting Daffodil Day once again this year on Monday 28th August. Our students are encouraged to wear yellow and contribute a gold coin donation. All classes will also participate in drawing the chalk daffodil murals outside to celebrate the day.
