Visit from Jen's Hahei Ukulele Group

Last Tuesday musical melodies were floating from the senior room in a musical exchange between the senior students and Jenny Upsall's visiting Hahei Ukulele Group. The Ukulele Group were impressed with the children's performance and keen to let them try out the different types of ukulele's including an amped base ukulele. These picture were generously sent by Sue Dorrington of the Hahei Group.

Fundraising Committee

There will be a Fundraising Committee meeting coming up to finalise the accounts before the end of the year. We are also looking for more parents who are interested in coming on board to help with the fundraising we do through the year. Our children are the ones who benefit from the funds raised. The date for the next meeting will be in next week’s newsletter.

Well done to Moana Manukau who competed in Te Aroha on Monday. Moana came third in the 800m with a time of 3.0376 minutes and second in the 1500m with a time of 6.17.29 minutes. Moana will be competing in the Waikato Primary Athletics on Friday – Best of Luck Moana.

Swimming Pool Keys

Pool keys cost $50 per season and can be purchased from the school office.

Hello / Kia Ora

Senior Rotorua Trip

Some families have changed their plans about their commitment to camp. We are asking parents to once again please confirm whether they and their child/ren will be attending the Rotorua camp on 23^rd to 26^th November 2015. Please fill in the slip at the end of this newsletter and return it to school no later than Friday. Our final confirmation of bookings will be based on these slips. The cost for students is $175.50. The cost for adults is $470.50. Adults who are transporting others during the trip will have their costs discounted by their accommodation costs of $105 to $365.50.

Thames Valley Athletics

Our camp is on the same day as the Thames Valley event. In fairness to other athletes who are available to attend the Thames Valley event we have decided not to send competitors to the Peninsula meet, although any senior students not attending camp may go if they reach the standards tomorrow. The Peninsula event is on the same day as our ukulele visit. At this time of the year the calendar does become crowded and clashes are inevitable.

Stationery Accounts

We have attached your stationery accounts. Please send payment to the school as soon as possible.

Lawns Fees

Your lawns fees are also due. $30 per child or $60 for two or more children. Thank you to those families who have already paid their lawns fees.
