Consultation survey – Please find this document attached, take a few minutes to read, respond and return it to school.  Your input will help us to better meet your child’s needs.

Head Lice – Have come to visit again. Please check hair and treat as necessary.  If you are having difficulty getting on top of this problem the school nurse can be of assistance and is happy to advise.

Project Energize- Briar worked with both classes today looking at the four fabulous food groups.  Ask your children what they remember and how many servings they need to make them “Go, Glow and Grow!”

Lawn fees and Stationery-

Thank you to those who have already paid these accounts.  One or two are becoming quite overdue and significant amounts. No further stationery will be issued to some families at this time. Lawn fees are a donation and as such are tax deductible.

Miss Anderson update – At this time Penny is still in Waikato hospital and tests continue to try and diagnose the cause of her illness.  The staff and board are working together to ensure school programmes continue as smoothly as possible in her absence.  We will keep you informed as more information comes to hand. Penny wished to thank everyone for their support, especially the many kind invitations extended to Antonio.

Have a fantastic week

Penny and the team
