KIA ORA/GREETINGS TO ALL PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF THE SCHOOL

Students are asked to be at school by 5.30pm on Thursday 6th December. The school will provide biscuits and fruit for a quick nibble between shows to keep students going but each child will need to bring a drink bottle.
We acknowledge that it is a very busy time of year for families and if you feel that your child will need a rest before the show, please don’t hesitate to contact their teacher and arrange to pick them up at lunchtime.
See you there!

Whakatauki Term 4
DID YOU KNOW THAT ……..
Hauraki Plains Athletic Bus Fee, Waihi Beach Trip and Rainbows End trips have all been invoiced to your accounts if we have not received payments. Please check your account through the etap portal or speak to Maree in the Office.
We still have unpaid Activity Fees. These are not written off at the end of the year as they are not a donation. Please pay before the end of Term so you do not start next year in arrears. A $5.00 per week, per child, auto payment is still the easiest and most stress fee way to pay all fees for your child. See Maree is you would like to set this up for next year. (It is a camp year)!
HOLIDAY PROGRAMME
The Holiday Programme will be running for two weeks. The first week is already booked out but there are still a couple of spots for Tuesday 29th Jan to Friday 1st Feb.The theme of the programme will be summer and the school pool will be in use.
If you would like to book a space for your child the cost is $40.00 per day (it is OSCAR funded).
Contact Maree or Megan Way ASAP.
LOST PROPERTY
WOW! THERE IS A MOUNTAIN OF LOST PROPERTY! WE COULD PILE IT UP PUT A STAR ON TOP AND CALL IT A CHRISTMAS TREE. PLEASE COME AND CLAIM WHAT BELONGS TO YOUR CHILD. AND YIP YOU GUESSED IT – NO NAMES!
