Pickup and Drop-Off
Please remember parents are not able to come onto the school grounds for drop-off or collection at the current time unless their children are brand new students. Parents who come into school for any reason must sign in at the office, even if they are only at school briefly. We know this is a big change for some but it's working really well.
Kapa Haka
Last orders for kapa haka hoodies will be Friday 29 May. You will still be able to order t-shirts on Kindo. If your child would like to join kapa haka please email shylah.robinson@waimauku.school.nz this week.
Pool Keys
Please return your pool key to the office, there is a $20 refund available until the end of June.
Buses
Please remember students can only travel on the bus they are eligible for. Please make sure your child knows how they are traveling home as their teacher will mark it on the register at morning roll call to allow us to fulfill our contact tracing obligations.
Enrolments
If you have a child who is turning 5 in the next few months please contact the office to arrange an enrolment pack.
Contact Details
Have you moved house or got a new cellphone? If your contact details have changed please let us know.

Creative Matters will not be running our after school art classes at Waimauku School this term but they have an amazing online option - a term long course for children aged 6 - 13 which teaches visual arts skills and encourages creative thinking.
It's very much structured in the same way as their popular after school classes, with instructional teaching videos presented by Mandy (CEO), and fun art projects that can be completed independently.
Creative Matters looks forward to being able to provide face-face lessons again in term 3. Click the link for more info, a free preview or to subscribe for only $97.

Marrzipan Drama is running a special DISCOUNTED short term for the rest of term 2! Students will get to explore different scripts, choose their favourite, audition and be cast as a character, and then record a MOVIE TRAILER for the play. A digital copy will be sent to parents so you can celebrate your child’s achievements by watching it at home with them.
Marrzipan Drama is a safe space where children are encouraged to learn at their own pace and come out of their shell when they are ready, with the guidance of our wonderful, fun and supportive Marrzipan teachers.
Check out our website for more info or to book a trial class marrzipandrama.co.nz
