Hello /
Kia Ora
Pinnacles
Trip
Our
senior class trekked up the Pinnacles yesterday and returned today. They had a
wonderful time and were rewarded with some spectacular views on top of the
Pinnacles. Many thanks to all the parents who came along, and those who also
provided transport.
School
Swim Carnival
BOT Parent
Survey
Attached
is the Parent Survey which was also handed out at our Community Meet and Greet
BBQ last month. Please complete this and return to the school by next Thursday
24th March. We have put the set of wicker drawers at the front door
for parents to drop their completed surveys into, this way your survey will
remain anonymous. Michelle will collect these at the end of next week. There
are extra copies on top of the wicker drawers if parents want to fill out a
survey, individually.
Easter Basket Raffle
Keep
selling those raffle tickets. We will be drawing the Easter Basket raffle next
Thursday 24th March, not April as was written on the front of the
tickets. Can everyone please return all unsold tickets as well as ticket butts
and money by next Tuesday 22nd March.
Charity Horse Trek
Thank you to the few parents who came to the
fundraising meeting last week. We do need some new faces to join our small
group to help spread the load doing our fundraising ventures. Each year we put
on a Charity Horse Trek with all the proceeds going to our school. We ask
parents to help by contributing towards the lunch to keep our expenses down. If
you are able to bake a cake or biscuits or have fresh fruit available, please
send any to school this Friday as the horse trek is on Saturday.
MERCURY BAY JUNIOR RUGBY
MUSTER
Junior Rugby Muster

If you have any questions,

Toys at School
Please
do not send precious or fragile toys and personal possesions to school to avoid
disappointment if they are lost or broken. Junior children who wish to show
something for their news may do so and then the teachers will keep it safe
until home-time.
Healthy Lunch Boxes
Briar
Ward from Project Energize worked in both rooms on Monday, talking with the
children about healthy lunch box choices.
While duty teachers try to monitor the children’s eating, it is not
always possible to “police” every child. Please talk to your children about
what they have in their lunch and what you would like to see them eat.
Involving them and listening to their preferences may help encourage healthy
eating habits. Attached are some ideas to add to lunch boxes. Please don’t
consider this a criticism – our children have yummy lunches!
Assembly
While
swimming continues we have decided to extend the Monday morning assembly to
allow time for awards, performances and singing. This will be a half hour
assembly which whanau are welcome to attend. Next week there is a Junior
reading group’s play and hopefully a video clip produced by Max.
120 year Anniversary
In May this year the
school will have been open for 120 years! If you have ideas as to how we can
celebrate this mile stone please let us know. So far suggestions have included
a dance, a sports day or open day at school. It would be great to have a team
to begin to plan ahead for the 125th Jubilee, including looking at ways to
fund-raise to repair, paint and up-grade the Gumtown Room.
