Hello / Kia Ora
New junior room teacher – Welcome to Mrs Katarina Lee who returns to our
school until November to relieve Mrs Jean Saunders while she is on study leave.
Most of the children will remember Mrs Lee as Miss Brink who has relieved at
our school the last few years.
We also welcome Caelen Gubb to the
junior room.
Thames Valley
Swimming – Good
luck to our swimmers who are attending the Thames Valley Swimming on Friday 21st
March. We wish you all the best Carter Hodge, Antonio Anderson, Ben Smith and
Jerome Melde.
Coroglen Triathlon – Thank you to all
the parents and grandparents who came along to watch our children compete in
the Coroglen School Triathlon last week.
Congratulations
to Carter Hodge who won the senior swimming cup, and to Awa Illingworth who won
the junior swimming cup as pictured.
It
was great to see everyone enjoying the event, and to see the older children
encouraging the younger children as they competed.
A
few short videos of the races have been uploaded to the website if you were
unable to be there and would like to watch your child compete please go to

Coroglen
Charity Horse Trek - The Coroglen horse trek
is not far off now - Saturday, March 29th up Mill Creek Road on the Macdonald’s
beautiful farm. Thanks to those who came to the fundraising meeting and
offered their help with food or help with lunch on the day, the more the
merrier. We know how busy everyone is but we would love help with
providing the lunch in any way you are able as obviously the less we have to
buy the more profit there is for the school. Can you make your favourite
salad, some muffins, a quiche, a cake or even if you have extra fruit at your
place? Or if you happen to have a spare roast that you don’t mind cooking
or have some extra smoked fish or anything like that we would really appreciate
it. We had such wonderful feedback on our lunch last year so let’s
all do a little bit to make for another fantastic feast. Please call me
on 866-3134 and let me know how you can help. Thanks heaps Amy

Surf Club Champs this coming SATURDAY

opposite the HWB shop. Events to start at 10am ending with prize giving
approximately between 2 & 3 pm.
Bring lots to eat and drink for your kids as

beach. We won’t be stopping for food breaks.
Mercury Bay Day Camp – You must pre register before April 4th. Registration forms are available at school.
School Sores –are doing the rounds again. Impetigo is caused by bacteria and
can occur even when the skin is kept clean: it is not a sign of poor parenting.
It can occur on healthy skin but it often happens when the skin has already
been damaged by a scratch, bite or condition such as eczema. It is highly
contagious so please keep any sores covered and if you suspect your child has
impetigo, please seek treatment from your doctor.
Mercury Bay Council and
the Mercury Bay Community Board are looking for passionate community members
who are interested in becoming part of a working committee for the development
of the site of the (old) Coroglen sale yard land. Anyone is
welcome to attend - we are meeting at the Coroglen Tavern - Wednesday 2 April at
6.30pm.
Senior Room
Notes from Pat and Jenny
Well
finally most of the children have begun their Boat Building project. This will happen on Tuesdays and Thursdays
after Written Language and Reading. Art
is Wednesdays.
We
only have a small amount of testing to complete and then you are welcome to
come and see us about your child’s results.
By next Monday all Senior children should have spelling to learn in
their homework books. Note from Jenny
attached.
Thought of
the Week
We
were given two ends-one to sit on and one to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most.
Have a
fantastic week
Pat and the team
