Nine more sleeps!!!

There is excitement in the air. We are all looking forward to our 3 days of either Outdoor Education or Camp.

Parent helpers for camp have a meeting at 8a.m. on Tuesday in room 26 and Year parents have an Outdoor Education information meeting at 8:15 on the same day in the Library.



There will be final information relating to both sets of activities being sent home at the beginning of the week.

These pictures were taken on the morning Mrs Jamieson and Mrs Shears checked out one of the venues near the Nihotupu Dam - this is where we will carry out the water testing.

Week Three 2012

We have had a great start to the school year and it was wonderful to see so many families at our first ever Meet, Greet and Eat evening.

You have received a number of newsletters already, especially related to the Year 6 Camp and Year 5 Outdoor Education. It is important you read through these carefully and return the permission slips, parent help forms and medical forms by the dates required. If you have any questions at all please do ask class teachers or Kirstie Rogerson for camp and Jenni Jamieson for outdoor education. If it easier to email your questions please include your phone number so we can give you a ring if that is the best way to respond.

Welcome to the Senior Team 2012

Only four more sleeps and we will all be back at school...children and teachers.

Your teachers have been very busy over the last week preparing for the new school year. All the teachers had a very informative day yesterday at a staff development lecture where we learned about Brain Power. Today we were all in school working together to plan our programmes for the initial weeks of the year.

On Tuesday when you arrive at school, children, you will move straight to your new classrooms. If you are unsure about anything please talk to one of your friends and I am sure they will be able to assist or there will be teachers out and about ready to take care of you.

The teachers in our team are
Room 29 - Miss Quigley
Room 28 - Miss Cope and Mrs Stewart
Room 27 - Miss Rogerson
Room 26 - Ms Sowerby
Room 24 - Miss Cook
Room 23 - Miss Downham
Room 22 - Mr Vartha

We all look forward to meeting and working with you this year.
