Dear Parents / Caregivers
The school Cross Country for 2005 was held on the school circuit on
Thursday, 18 August. A perfect Tokoroa day provided great conditions for the
running of this annual event. A large and vocal group of supporters, parents
and friends of the school turned out to bask in the afternoon sunshine and
enjoy the event, supporting their children. A 90% participation by students
and the fact that 400 students completed the course is testament to the
tenacity and persistence of our students. Congratulations to all those who
took part.

Vision Screening
Vision Hearing Technicians from Community Health will be visiting Thursday,
1 September. The objective of the visit is to identify previously
undetected vision defects.
All Year 7 students will be screened
All Year 7 boys will also have a colour vision check
If any parents / guardians do not want their child to be checked or their
child is currently under specialist care for a vision defect, they should
let the school know. Other students will be checked if there is a
genuine reason for concern about them.
This will not be a complete vision examination, but a simple screening test.
When an unsatisfactory result is obtained it will be necessary for the
Technician to obtain personal details, i.e. home address and date of birth,
and parents / guardians will be advised to seek further advice.

School Lunches
Our school is aware of making healthy food available to the students for
lunches. We are now selling hot “mini meals’ for $2.20 from the
canteen. The meals the students can buy are spaghetti bolognaise,
macaroni cheese, butter chicken or ham, cheese and potato. As there is
only one type of meal available each day, the students will be told what it
is the day before.
