Week 1 Notices

Welcome back to Term 4. I hope that you all had a great break and enjoyed time with your families.

Swimming
Room 1 will be swimming during add weeks beginning this week. We will start on Tuesday afternoon. Please bring your swimming gear to school every day this week.

Uniforms
We have changed into summer uniform now. You all need to wear a blue sun hat when outdoors this term. The 'aussi' style hats are usually available at several stores including Postie Plus and the Warehouse. Caps are not allowed, please wear the correct sun hat.

Camps
We will be sending information home regarding camps soon. We do ask children to give the information to their parents. Please ask your children regularly if there is any information regarding camps. We will send home a gear list again, but will send it nearer the time.

Camp Fees: Please organise payment this term with the school office.

For parents helping on camps, there will be a meeting held in Week 2. A letter will be sent home once we have a set date and time.

Stationery
Please ensure that your child comes to school with pencils and pens this term if they have run out at school.

Speeches
Children will be writing speeches at school in the first two weeks. The topic will be 'Proud to live in New Zealand'. Children will need to give reasons why they are proud to live in New Zealand. Children will need to practise their speech at home before the class eliminations in week 3 (end of week). This will be part of their homework for week 3. On the 5th of November, the finals will be held for those who make it through from each class. The finals will be held in front of the whole senior school.
