Hello / Kia Ora
Principal update - Penny and Antonio have returned home while awaiting results of the
tests. We do not expect Penny to return to school this term. Penny would like
to thank everyone who have sent cards and flowers. She was very touched.
Pat will be with us until Penny
returns.
Thames Valley
Swimming – Good
luck to our swimmers who are attending the Thames Valley Swimming next Tuesday
18th March. We wish you all the best Carter Hodge, Antonio Anderson,
Ben Smith and Jerome Melde.
Consultation Forms – Thanks to the
families who have returned the consultation forms. These will be tabled at the
next BOT meeting.
Tag Knockout
Tournament
–Congratulations to both Coroglen
tag teams who played hard and had a fun day of rugby last Saturday. Well
done to the Coro-Babes, who after just beating Coro-Glen by one try in the
knock out round, just lost to the Jackman team in the Shield final receiving a
silver ribbon in doing so. Congratulations also to Caitlyn and Tia for winning
player of the day prizes. A special thanks to Teresa Kereopa for
organising our teams throughout the season, and to the parents for all of their
support. It has been a lot of fun, great exercise and a
wonderful community event. A huge thanks
to Don and Nikki for organizing the
tournament. For such a small school it
was great to have two teams filled with past and present students playing each
week. Looking forward to playing again in the spring! Cheers Amy
Music Opportunity – We have been
invited to attend “The Nukes” ukulele workshop on Friday 11th April
at MBAS. It is an incredible opportunity to work with professional musicians
and find out all of their little tricks. They will work with the students for
the whole of Friday, and will return on Saturday afternoon for a dress rehearsal,
and then be part of a public performance in the MBAS school hall on Saturday
night.
The
cost of the workshop is $40. Registrations will not be taken after the 20th
March. If you are interested please ask Jenny Upsall for a registration form.
In
order to get the most from this event, those attending will need to have a good
grasp of basic chords (C. G7, G, F, Am, Dm) and a willingness to work hard. A
pack of material will be sent out upon registration.
Guitar Lessons – start next week
for those students interested. The course includes a series of workshops on DVD
where the students can work individually at their own pace, and be able to do
it at home. These DVDs are collaboration between Steve Keernz and Gibson
Guitar. Please register your child’s interest. There may be a small charge to
cover the cost of the blank CD.
Stationery Accounts – are attached to this
newsletter.

Notes from Pat
At
present we are completing our beginning of year testing on the children. I am also taking the children for Literacy,
Art and Technology when time allows. For
Technology we are doing Boat Building.
The children are planning their boats and finding their own
materials. The boats will be made at
school and need to move-ie sail, motor, rubber band etc. Any questions feel free to ask. Some children have already brought their
materials to school.
Mathletics is up and
running. Information is attached to this
newsletter for Years 3-8.
Have a
fantastic week
Pat and the team
