Musical
Instruments
We would be grateful to anyone
who has any musical instruments gathering dust at home if they would like to donate
them to our school or lend them for an extended period.
Daffodil
Day
Daffodil Day is on Friday 26th
August. We support this annual appeal each year to raise money for cancer
research. Children are welcome to bring along a gold coin donation, to add to
our coin trail and come dressed in their best daffodil shades if possible –
yellow, orange, green and white. Thank you for your support.
ERO
Update
Michelle Harper and I met with
Greg Stuart from the Education Review Office and Cameron Frethy our Ministry of
Education manager, last week. They were very happy with the progress the board
and staff have made towards meeting the recommendations from our last ERO
review and will be returning for a full review in Term 1 2017.

now have received a letter outlining expectations for behaviour on the bus. We
anticipate quiet and safe journeys to continue.
End of Term Performance
We have finished writing the
school performance and the children have all received their parts although we a
still tweaking them a little. They have been busy with Justine and the teachers
learning the songs for the performance. We will be having a final dress
rehearsal on Thursday 22nd September which will be open to parents
to come along and watch.
After the actual performance on
Friday night there will be a presentation for Penny to thank her for 18 years
as our Principal.
We are putting together a book of
her time with us, if you have any photographs that would be appropriate to be
included please bring them to the school or email them to us at
[email protected]

neighbouring orchard was not sprayed last weekend, but will be spraying the
kiwifruit block this weekend. Any residue should be gone by Monday.
