Week 3 Term 4 2022

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL WHANAU 

Kia ora whanau,

We have a student returning to school on Monday who has had cancer.  He has been away since 2021. His immunity has been compromised due to the treatment he has received and he is particularly susceptible to chickenpox and measles. 

Any cases of chickenpox or measles, in the school community, needs to be reported to the school office immediately to ensure his health is not compromised. He is looking forward to coming back to school as are his friends.

A huge thank you for your support of Grandparents Day. We had a great day! There was standing room only in the Church for mass, morning tea was incredibly busy (but delicious) and our sessions with Andrew Chinn were so much fun.  Photos coming.

We also had an amazing time at athletics day. Mr Macmillan has put a folder of photos on Facebook (Thanks Leidy - they are gorgeous!). I was so proud of our Year 4 kids. I spent the day with the 8 year olds - there were 3 sore tummys, a headache and a sore foot before the first event but all were miraculously healed once we got started and everyone gave every event a really good go. It sounds like the 9 year olds were just as involved and excited to have a go. Even better than that, the kids were cheering for each other, supporting each other and were always polite to the adults helping - what cool kids we have. The Interschool team will be announced soon - it's a lot of work.
