Dear Parents

We have had a change in circumstances with helpers for the afternoon tea and desperately need 2-3 more helpers to assist with this please.  Even if you have a helpful big kid at home who could help, that would be awesome. We are only a small school and there are a small number of people doing a big number of jobs to get this 125th Anniversary underway. Registered guests will not be able to help as they will be attending the Assembly.

Please remember pickup for children on Friday is 4 pm sharp for all parents who are not registered guests of the 125th Anniversary.

Children need to be in their best uniforms and very tidy, with hair tied back please.

Many thanks

Dear Parents and Whanau,

This Friday, 28th August, our school is proud to support Daffodil Day to raise funds and awareness for the Cancer Society.

We invite all students to join in the fun and support this great cause:

• Wear a Yellow Accessory: Students are encouraged to wear their normal school uniform, paired with a splash of yellow! This could be a yellow hair ribbon, hat, socks, scarf, pin, or tie.
• Gold Coin Donation: Please send your child with a gold coin donation ($1 or $2). All proceeds collected will go directly to support cancer research, patient support services, and education programs.

Thank you for your generosity and support in helping us brighten up the school while making a difference in our community.

Dear Parents and Whanau
