End of Term Wrap Up

 

End of Term Wrap Up:

We have come to the end of a very disrupted term.  We thank you for your support and have our fingers and toes crossed for a smoother one in Term 4.  

We had a great open afternoon on Monday this week, we were very proud of our ten Year 6 children who welcomed visitors in, took them on tours of the school and connected them in with us at the end of the tour.  

Our out of zone enrolment applications have closed today and we will be going to ballot, with a huge amount of applications for 2022.

While we remain in level two we remind you that the Ministry of Health mandates mask use for all adults in public areas.  As the school is a public area, we require you to wear a mask when on site.  Please only come on site if you have to and please avoid coming into classrooms.  If you do have to come on site, please make it quick and ensure you sign in.  As a school we are simply following guidelines set down for us, if asked to put on a mask, please do so.

We look forward to seeing everyone back next term.

Below is some just in time information to end the term:

1. Lost property, there is a huge amount of lost property.  If you have time, come in quickly to check it (mask on) and sign in.  If you are not able to come in, encourage your child to check for any of their belongings.

2. We are sorry for the delay in receiving calendars for those that have ordered these.  Due to a lockdown our order has not been able to be delivered.  The company is in Auckland and is not an essential service.  Unfortunately the delay is out of our control.

3. School photos will be week 2 Term 4, payment needs to be made by Friday 22nd of October.

4. We have set the date for our Teacher Only Day (that was canceled this term) for Friday the 3rd of December.  School will be closed on this day to allow teachers to catch up on missed PLD.

5. We need items for the jolly jars that will be sold at the gala.  Any small toys, other small items or wrapped lollies would be kindly recieved.  There will be a small container outside of the school office for you to put any items into.

6. Ag and Flower day will be held on the 22nd of October.  Classroom items will only be made and judged if we are in Level 1.  We will let you know in week one what needs to come in from home if this is the case along with timings for the day.

7. We are currently reviewing our current strategic plan and working on a strategic plan for the next three years.  I will be sharing some information with you soon about this process and we would love your input.
