He mihi mahana ki a koutou katoa
Bonjour à toutes nos familles

Term 1 Touch Rugby - all years

If your child is keen to play Touch Rugby on Wednesday afternoons at Wakefield Park, please fill out this form. Registration for this has opened so it would be good to get some registrations in before the end of the year. 

Reminder about Term 1 Netball: Years 1 - 4

If your child is in Years 1 - 4 next year and would like to play netball, please fill out this form. Also, if you know there are other keen netballers, please point their parents to fill out the form (just on the off chance they aren’t eagerly awaiting Fridays so they can read the newsletter and inadvertently miss this). 

Bike Track chat and sausage sizzle - this weekend!

Come and meet at the bike shed down on the field on Sunday the 17th at midday.  We’ll be talking all things bike related as well as the pump, skills and bike tracks.  There will be a sausage sizzle!  Feel free to invite others in the neighbourhood.

Emergency Food - donation to the City Mission

This year, we would like to donate the emergency food bags to the City Mission. If you would prefer your child to bring their emergency food bag home, let the office know and we will make sure they pop it in their bag. 

Final Farewells

As well as saying a sad farewell to Kathryn and Dani, we are also farewelling our German interns Melissa and Laurenz. We thank them for all their hard work and wish them all the best for their upcoming travels around New Zealand. We are also saying goodbye to a couple of our awesome teacher aides, James (who is off to do his teacher training in Auckland) and Reuben who is going to work at MSD. Ka kite and thanks for all the hard work!
