The whole senior school will be going to this on the 16th of September. Children will be walking to and from the Convention Centre. The cost of the production has been covered by the activity fee.

Year 6 Camp
Due to numbers dropping, there will be a cake stall to raise a bit of extra money for the Year 6 Camp in order to cover the costs. More information about when the cake stall will be held will be sent home soon.

Camps
Behind the scenes, a lot of work is happening around both camps. Children have selected sleeping groups and day groups have been organised. More information around meetings for camp helpers, and gear lists will happen at the beginning of Term 4.

We will be going to the library on Monday.

Tissues
We have run out of tissues. If anyone would like to donate a box, it will be most welcome.

Pens, Pencils and Rulers
Please ask your child if they have run out of any of these items. Many children do not have a pen or pencil and have to borrow from others.

Science Road Show
We will be going the Science Road Show this Thursday, the 21st of August. The show will be at Rotorua Intermediate so we will just have to walk across the road to get there. If the weather is wet, please bring a rain jacket or umbrella to school as we will still need to walk to the venue.

If you haven't done so already, please send $4.00 to school by Wednesday so that we can arrange payment with the facilitators of the show.

Marae Trip on Tuesday - Thank you to the parents who have offered to help transport children to and from the venue. Unfortunately, we are still very short on transport. If you are available to help please send a note with you child on Monday. We leave school at 9.00am and leave the marae at 12.20 to be back at school by 12.30pm.

Food for Thought Programme
This will be running in the senior school this week. We have lessons on Monday and Wednesday, and on Thursday we will be walking down to New World for a visit. Room 1 are leaving school at 10.00am and returning at 12.00pm. Our actual visit is between 10.30 and 11.30am. If any parents would like to accompany us on the walk and visit, please contact Mrs Nieuwboer this week.

Mary Mackillop Day
This Friday, the whole school will be celebrating Mary Mackillop Day. We will begin with Mass at 9.00am and there will be a variety of activities taking place throughout the day. At lunchtime, we will be having a shared lunch with Room 12. Please send along food suitable for sharing on Friday.

Golden Time
I initially said that we would be making a fruit salad (looking at where in the world the fruit comes from - link with globalisation) on Friday for Golden Time. However, since we are having a shared lunch that day, we will leave the fruit salad for another time.

On Wednesday, our Whanau hui will be combined one with our Fillipino, Pasifika and Indian families. You are all welcome for a meal in the school hall at 5.30pm.
