Rongohea Te Hau Whanau involvment/hui- postponed today

We would really like some whanau voice around what cultural perspectives you value and have an opportunity to co-construct some understanding about what is important for Māori. Tuesday the 25th of October at 5:00pm in the staffroom we would like your imput.  This will help us better understand how we can cater for Māori and essentially all our tamariki.

 

Today’s session postponed.

Pet Day Entry forms

Dear Parents/Caregivers,

Pet Day will go ahead this Thursday (unless the weather is really against us) in which case we will notify you early Thursday morning via the App and Facebook.  There will be no postponement date as our calendar is full.

If your child is entering a pet, please fill in the form as soon as possible, to help with the smooth running of the day. It will also help the Judges from the Vet Club have an idea of how many entries they will be judging.

A mobile coffee cart will be selling coffee along with Room 1 selling sausages ($2) so don’t forget to bring along some cash.

Look forward to seeing you all then.

Pet day Thursday.

Kia ora Whanau,

Our fingers are crossed for PET Day on Thursday. Attached schedule. These times are approximate and we may run ahead or behind time depending on judging.

If you have changed pets can you please complete the entry form which is attached. Can this be completed by tomorrow. 

There is also a chance to enter a team of parents (4 per team) in a fun relay around the sports ground that each class has created a challenge.

We will sort entries for this event on the day.

Pet Day Consultation

Kia ora all, 

With all the rain we have had recently, the backfield is absolutely sodden.  The forecast for the coming week is looking like there is more rain coming, so holding Pet Day at the end of next week is probably not a viable option.
 
We would like your feedback as to whether or not you would like Pet Day to go ahead for the end of the first week of Term 4.  We understand this is not ideal for those who are wanting to wean lambs.  If you could respond to the questionnaire below, this will help us decide whether we postpone or cancel Pet Day for this year.
