WELCOME to our newest family, the Sola's. Maliana in room 2, Petelo and
Kahimilo in room 1 and Ioane in room 7. It is lovely to have you all here.
Scholastic Book order forms are available from the library. These need
to be back by Friday 23
Lunches-I have noticed that some of the older children are bringing packets
of biscuits and big bags of chippies for lunch. These are not good for
children. Healthy lunches can be ordered through the school.
Computer deal -Westfield Shopping Centre is holding a promotion for schools
to win computers. If you shop at Westfield all you do is fill in a form
with the name of the school and put it in a box. Computers and other prizes
can be won by schools participating
Enrolment forms for Sacred Heart need to be back here or sent to the
college by Monday 26-they do not accept late enrolments
FUN RUN - A HUGE SUCCESS
Thank You to all the parents and supporters who helped make Tuesday's
Fun Run such a huge success. It was great to see so many parents, grandparents,
and pre schoolers enjoying a day out with the kids. While quite a bit
of the money has already been collected and brought to school, there are
still a few children that need to bring it in. Please make sure your child
has both their money and sponsorship form in by Monday.
UNIFORM MEETING
A small but enthusiastic group of parents and Board members met on Wednesday
evening for a discussion about the school uniform. It was agreed that
it does need looking at with a view to some changes over the next two
years. To start this process off, the group will be putting out a questionnaire
as well as talking to parents about what we have now and what we would
like for the future. Some of the ideas that were discussed included standardising
footwear, boys wearing black drill or cotton pants, a long sleeved polo
shirt for the winter (instead of the skivvy) and a pinafore/dress for
the girls. Start having a think about it, as your opinion will be sought
on the school uniform.
HOMEWORK CENTRE
The homework centre is up and running very smoothly, thanks to the hard
work of our dedicated parent group. At the moment we have as many children
as we can take. If you would like your child to be in the homework group
please register them through the school and they will be put on a waiting
list. Only children registered can go to the Homework Centre.
Firewood-We still have some wood from the demolition of the Scout Hall.
You are welcome to come to school and help yourself to it
