11am to about 12.30pm We will issue school t-shirts on the morning
before leaving, children will need a warm change of clothes for after their
run. Parents are welcome to come and

walk the course soon after 11am and races should start before 11.30am. Races

Parent Teacher Interviews
Nearly all of our families have
met, or will meet, with the teachers to discuss students’ progress and
achievements. The reports from these meetings have been very positive and we
hope whanau have found them worthwhile. If you have not made an appointment yet
there are still a few time slots left tomorrow between 4:40pm and 6:00pm. Or
teachers could meet with you next week after the cross country on Tuesday.
Return the slip at the end of the newsletter

Meeting Requirements and Needs
The MOE requires our school to record
the ethnic identity of our students. They request families to choose one ethnic category by which they are
officially recognised. However we often have more than one ethnic group in our
family background.
We are still collecting this
information so if you have not already done so, please complete the short pro
forma below to help us with this task.
Have a good week,
from Jean and the team.
