Next weekend we are have a working bee at our school. We have a number of jobs on our list ranging from handy-man jobs, spreading cushionfall under the senior playground, maintenance on the senior playground, replacing rotten palings on our boundary fences, repairing the tops of our garden plots, putting up the shade cloth and I am sure there will be plenty more jobs to do. Come along and meet other parents, enjoy a morning tea and a delicious lunch. Children are welcome also. For catering purposes please let the office know if you can assist, even if it is for an hour or two.

We would like all our school families to consider having their child make their First Holy Communion and Reconciliation. This is a notice from our parish.

Welcome Back Everyone!

I hope you have all had a great rest and that your child is looking forward to coming back to school!
Reading logs are due back so bring them in this week. Please keep up the reading at home. Remind your child to take a journal home off the shelf each day/week for extra reading at home and do take time to visit the library.
Ruma Weta are collecting pictures of holiday happiness! If you have some great pictures of your holiday..please send them in.

Saturday, 28th October we are having a Working Bee at school. The day starts at 8.00am and children are invited to come too. Morning tea and a BBQ lunch will be provided.

Swimming is on even weeks in Term 4, so we start on Week 2. Remember to encourage your child to bring their togs on every day in weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8. The water of the swimming pool is 30 degrees, so warm like a tropical ocean.

Please bring back reading logs as soon as possible. Individual and class prizes are in the offering.

Summer uniforms are to be worn from Monday and a school hat must be worn at break time. Children must own their own hat and only use the very few spare class hats we now possess as a last resort if they forget their own hat.
