Kia ora Parents / Caregivers, We loved seeing everyone back after the holiday break. It is certainly challenging times with the fuel situation creating added pressure for all families. Let’s hope we see some relief very soon. The Ministry of Education have assured us it is their priority to keep schools open even in the event of this potential fuel crisis worsening. Our school is heated with wood chips so a less direct effect than diesel radiators. I am sure we will always have enough fuel to stay warm. We are aware some families live a distance from school so we ask you to keep in contact if you require any assistance. ANZAC Service - Saturday 6.30am We are proud to have three of our senior students lay a wreath on our behalf on Saturday morning at the dawn parade. We have Ava, Katelynne and Laya representing us. This is an important day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand commemorating all who served and died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. We encourage families to attend in honour of those that fought and fall for us all. It is a moving, short ceremony held at dawn. Children who have attended in the past have enjoyed the ceremony and significance of the gathering. Maths Homework We hope you have enjoyed the new routine of the basic facts homework this week. We are very confident that the partnership with you will make a big difference for our students knowledge. If you are unsure about this or the process has been challenging for you and /or your child please talk with your child’s class teacher. Arrival and Departure from School Arrival at school: 8.30am The first bell will ring at this time Departure from School: 3.10pm The bell will ring at this time It is expected children will leave the school grounds as soon as they are dismissed from class at 3.00pm and be on their way by 3.10pm.
