Newsletter, Term 3, Wk 6

Hello / Kia Ora

The Bays Best This is for the senior children only. Could everyone please meet at Whitianga Town Hall by 5.15pm this Saturday 29th August for a sound check, this should be finished by 5.50pm if everything goes to plan. We are the third act performing. We will then meet outside the Town Hall by 6.35pm to prepare for the performance. Parents are welcome to wait in the supper room while your child performs, however if you would like to watch them performing, you will need to buy a ticket from  Whitianga Paper Plus for $10. Once again THANK YOU to parents for all your support over the last few weeks.   – Justine & Jenny

Pet Day

Pet Day is only four weeks away now.

Jacinta O’Donahue has kindly offered to co-ordinate this event. She needs the help and support of all the school families to ensure this is yet again a successful day. A meeting will be held at school next Tuesday at 12 o’clock(ish- after the music performance) for everyone who would like to help with Pet Day.

We have started collecting grocery items for the Grocery Hamper which is raffled off at Pet Day. Each year we ask parents to send along at least one non-perishable grocery item.

Please fill in the form at the end of this newsletter to indicate what type of pet your child/ren will be bringing to pet day (do include pre-schoolers). We will then be able to order ribbons and prizes.
