 Dear Parents / Whanau, The term is racing by, with so many great activities /events already completed and many more to happen in the next 4 weeks of school. Teacher Only Day - this Monday March 9th SCHOOL CLOSED While we understand these days are a challenge for whanau, they are very necessary to ensure our teachers are keeping up to date with the ever changing landscape we are experiencing in our school. The Ministry of Education has granted two days for Maths development this year, the first on Monday and the second, Tuesday June 2nd , following on from King’s Birthday weekend.  Eastern Athletics - Tuesday 10th March We wish our large team of competitors all the very best for Tuesday. This is a great accomplishment to reach this level as the standards are very high.  Congratulations and the very best of luck for Tuesday. Children will report to Vanessa Bennett when they arrive at the grounds so they can be directed to their event. Our thanks to Sandi Pasco, our sports coordinator for her organisation of this event. 
Open Morning We had a wonderful morning welcoming our new and prospective families to West Gore School. Ms Flaus and Mrs Napier demonstrated parts of the programme and our new children loved meeting their buddies and joining in the programme. Our Open Mornings are held each term so our community can come and meet our staff, hear about our school and see the programme in action.   Dance Lessons & Festival We are very grateful to Rachel Ferguson for again offering weekly dance free lessons to our children for the next few weeks. These conclude with the Festival of Dance on Saturday May 10th. If you have missed this and would like your child to have this opportunity please email Anneke at [email protected] by Monday 3pm.  Year 6 Camp 16-18 March Year 6 students are very excited as camp looms very soon. This is always a highlight for our senior students with an added bonus of a night at the Museum this year…. so cool sleeping in a museum, especially after the Egyptian Mummy tour! Thank you to teachers & parents who have put in a huge amount of work to make it happen. Our thanks to parents for being available to accompany our children. We can't do this without your support and help.  Cultural Festival - rescheduled to end of term 2 We are now holding our Cultural Festival at the end of term 2, July 2nd This festival will now tie in with Matariki and will be a wonderful time to celebrate together.
