Dear Parents / Caregivers I would like to thank
all parents who have returned the enrolment forms. It is important that
we have our records up to date, especially phone numbers and emergency phone
numbers in case of sickness or injury. If you haven’t returned the form
it is not too late. If you need another one ask your child to pick one
up from the office. Te Reo Maori If you wish your child to learn Te Reo Maori on a Friday morning and haven’t returned the form, we require notification by next week as this is when lessons start. Forms are available from the office if you have lost the one brought home or didn’t get one. Ask your child to collect one and bring it home. Medical Problems It is important the school is aware of children
who have serious medical problems for their well-being and safety. If
your child has a medical problem, e.g. is an epileptic, bad asthmatic, is
allergic to bee stings, etc, please advise either the classroom teachers, the
school office, or Principal. Information where necessary, will
be kept confidential to those who need to know. It is important
parents/guardians are familiar with the policy on Administering Medication at
School.
Kapa Haka Tangiwai Amopiu and Charles Te Pana are our tutors for this year. Students have provided Mrs Puke (teacher with responsibility for Kapa Haka) with their names. If your child hasn’t joined and you would like him/her to, talk to your child about it as it is not too late. If you need further information contact Mrs Puke. Swimming Sports The school swimming sports for
2005 were held at the South Waikato Indoor Pools on Wednesday, 16 February.
A large group of parents and whanau turned up to support the students in their
efforts. A big thank you to all those parents who assisted with the
timing, judging and control of races. A special thanks also to the pool
staff for their assistance.
Crispin Hopkinson TIC Swimming Visitors to the School Thank you to parents who are calling into the office when visiting the school. We appreciate your efforts. As mentioned in an earlier newsletter, this is to ensure student safety. Second Hand Uniforms We have a shortage of school shoes/sandals, black phys-ed shorts and red t-shirts and would appreciate any donations. Students can collect house points for donations made.
