Paid
Union Meeting
There is a paid union meeting on
the afternoon of Tuesday 13th September.
We will still be open and Mrs. Lee will be here.
As nearly all the teachers from
the surrounding schools will be attending the meeting, MBAS and Whenuakite are
closing early and so the MBAS school bus will be running earlier.
If your child usually catches the
Mercury Bay bus from Mill Creek Road, they will need to be collected. Our bus will be leaving school at 3.10pm as
usual. Rice will do the Mill Creek Road run.
Bridge
Hold Up
Thank you to all the parents who
have put their hand up to help with the Bridge Hold-Up this Friday afternoon.
This is an amazing fundraiser for our school which requires only a few hours
work.
Concert Performance
The children have been working hard
learning lines, songs and dances for the concert performance in the last week
of term. Time is getting tight, so it would be great to have everyone here for
rehearsals, unless absolutely necessary. If you can help your child learn their
speaking parts (they all have scripts) or can help with costumes, please let us
know.
Pet Projects
Most children who are rearing a lamb or
calf for pet day now have their animals, but it is not too late! Information
about our expectations for pet diaries or projects is coming home with this
newsletter. The juniors have been writing about their pets at school and we can
send home copies of their work to be added to over the holidays.
It will be helpful if you could let us
know by the end of term what animals are coming to Pet Day, so that we can
organise judges.
The Board of Trustees met last night. We are nearing the end of
our training with Rob Naumann the statutory advisor working with the board. Our
student achievement data now shows that most of our students are working at or
above expectation in reading, writing and mathematics. A few are just below but all have made
progress and have the potential to meet the standard by the end of the year.
The next BOT
meeting will be Monday 17 October, 3.30pm in the school library.
Scooters at School
A number of children have brought their
scooters to school this week and we have been impressed with the sharing,
co-operation and self-management that has been shown around their use. Please
remember that they are not able to be transported on the bus for safety
reasons. Similarly if you require your child to wear a helmet when using a
scooter: send it with them and we will remind them to wear them.
Cell phones in School
We have had a few children bringing
cell phones to school. It is school
policy that if you require your child to have a cell phone at school, that it
remains switched off and in their bag during the day. (If you prefer they may
be kept in the office during the day.) Being in a rural area we acknowledge
that children may need a phone for emergency situations, changes to travel
plans etc. We do not accept responsibility for loss or damage to any expensive
items children choose to bring to school.
Please
inform staff if your child has a phone and discuss these conditions with your
child so that they are not getting mixed messages.
We will also
be sending home our up-dated policy on cyber-safety and the agreement that
needs to be signed by parents and children.
The Mystery of the Bike
This
bike appeared at school over a week ago. Does anyone know who owns it? We are
worried that the owner may have met with misfortune.
Have a good week,
from Jean and the team.
