Bonjour à toutes nos familles

Futsal in Term 1

These games are:  Year 1-2 on Fridays, 13 Feb - 20 March.  Year 3-8 Wednesdays on 18 Feb - 1 April (no games 25 March).  If your child would like to play futsal in Term 1, please sign up here. 

Netball in Term 1

Sign up here for Year 1 - 4 netball on Saturdays in Term 1. 

Rascals in the holidays

Unfortunately we don’t have enough bookings to run Rascals on Monday 22nd or Tuesday 23rd December.

Thursday 18th and Friday 19th will go ahead as planned.

We would really appreciate it if you would also sign up for January now (if you know what you’re doing) so we know how many people to employ over this period. 

Waterfight on Monday

The weather forecast is looking average for Monday but unless it turns wild we will still have our waterfight on Monday afternoon. If your child wants to join in, please send them to school with a water gun (named is a good idea). Kōtare will have the option of staying up the top if they don’t want to mix with the big kids on the field. Most kids are wet at the end of the day so it pays to organise accordingly! 

End of Year Achievement Summaries

These will come out on Tuesday next week, for your viewing pleasure.  Please download any of your child’s work from over the years from Spotlight before the last day of term, as when we move to Hero we will lose access to the information.
