• We have our St Joseph's Day Liturgy on Monday the 20th March, 10am in the hall - all welcome. This is a day we think about St Joseph, the man he was and the things he did. It is also to thank and celebrate Sister Carina and all she does in our school community.

• We have our museum trip this week on Wednesday 22nd March 9:30-11:30 (Ruma Weta, rooms 16 & 17 together). Thanks to all who have offered to help supervise. We will be travelling by bus. Thanks to Rotorua Museum for supplying a free bus for us. As part of a science focus we will be looking at the amazing capabilities of Da Vinci and his designs, engineering, art and how this has helped communities and behaviour over time.
• Life Education is with us this week also! Stay tuned! Berni Volschenk runs an inspiring and energetic workshop for our students. This is always popular with our classes! Room 16 is booked in for the first block on Thursday and Room 17 for the 2nd block on Friday (although we may mix the classes up depending what else Ruma Weta has to finish at the end of the week).

• It is important that all visitors to the school sign in at the office on arrival. If visitors are going to class, they need a printed name tag from the office. Please also sign your children in at the office if they arrive late or sign them in and out if you are taking them out of school for any reason.
• From Sylvia Dunkley: “Kapa Haka will begin next week at the usual time of 2 pm on Thursday. As in the past, the first 3 weeks are for anyone who would like to try out Kapa Haka with no obligation. In Week 11 I will give out notices for those children who wish to sign up for the year.
• Friday 11am Pasifika Group and Band practice.
• Gymnastics Wednesday and Thursday lunchtime in hall.
• Please remind your child to bring their home reading back on Friday. Reading goes out Monday and back Friday and it must come in on Friday for a new set of books to be issued. Junior Journals are available from the Ruma Weta classroom for those children not on the programme. Ask if you need to know where to get one or exchange for a new one. Please let us know if we need some new books.
