Kaurihohore School Week One, Term One News 

Manaaki te katoa - be kind to all. 

Respect - Empathy - Kindness 

He whakatauki. Ehara tāku toa i te toa takitahi. Engari, he toa takitini.

Success is not the work of one but the work of many.

Kia ora koutou,  

Welcome to a new year.  We were excited to have children back at school this week and it is great to hear their voices and laughter fill the place once again.

Teachers have been busy planning and preparing over the last few weeks and are very ready for an exciting year.

At the beginning of the year, our priority over everything else is relationships.  Relationships are the foundation of happiness and wellbeing.  Please message your child’s teacher and make a time to meet if you have questions or anything you would like to share.  

We aim for real time reporting, part of this process is simply making an appointment at any time that you need to to discuss your child’s learning or wellbeing at school.  You can do this by messaging your child’s teacher.

Obviously we are facing the impact of a pandemic on the procedures here at school.  These were sent out via seesaw, email and facebook.  Please take time to read them.

Our ultimate aim is to make school as normal and fun as possible.  

I am very grateful to our school community for your ongoing support. Together we will get through this strange time…with kindness, empathy and respect.

Here’s to an interesting term!

Hats/Bottles/Togs/Wheels

Please ensure children wear a sun safe hat (not a cap) to school.  They also need a bottle full of water, while the water fountains are on, we would rather children were bringing their own drink bottle.  Togs are required for swimming, please refer to the swimming timetable that was sent via seesaw as classes do not swim every day.  Children are welcome to bring bikes, scooters and skateboards from home.  

Beach Trip

Sadly this can not happen within the red light setting.  We are sad to see this happen as it is a great way to get together as a community.  We will try to hold this at the end of the year if we are able to.

 

Honey - Still Available For Purchase

Don't forget our Bee Friends honey is still available from the office!  $10 for a 500g tub. 

This would make a great Christmas gift.

This is the honey collected from our hives by our BeeFriends 2020/2021 group.

Thanks for supporting us and thank you to Tahi Honey!

Just come along to the school office with payment and they will be able to help you out.

Breakfast Club

This is not yet up and running.  We are currently thinking of ways this can run while we are in the red setting.  Please ensure children have a great breakfast at home before they come to school.
