Principal’s News Congratulations
Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Derbyshire who welcomed their daughter on Tuesday morning. We have suggested they name her Gita after the storm, but they have gone for a far nicer name of Eliza Ellen. Tree Trimming Thank you to the army of parents who turned up at school last week to clear the trees. This was great timing as it saved the school a big clean up after the storm. Parent/Teacher Interviews Interview evening is on Monday 5th March. Please use this link to book appointments. We will be finishing school at 12:45pm, with buses running at 1pm. Interviews will then start at 1.10pm, with the last appointment at 6.50pm. Any issues, please give the office a call. Athletics We have interschool at Kaponga next week on Thursday. We need parent help to transport the students to and from Kaponga (at the Kaponga rugby/cricket ground, not the school). If you can help please be at school at 9.15am. Please ensure all students come to school with extra water, wearing sunscreen and their school hat. Union Meeting - 20th March The teachers have a union meeting on the 20th at 2pm in Hawera. The school will not be open for instruction in the afternoon as we will have reduced staff numbers, but students will be supervised until the buses leave school at 3pm. You are welcome to pick your child/ren up early at 1pm if you wish. Please let the office know if you do so. Sports Registrations Please get basketball and netball REGISTRATIONS IN BY TOMORROW.
