School Value for Term 4
Whakaute/Respect
Dear Parents and Caregivers, 
As we wind up for 2019, The Board of Trustees and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the very best for the festive season and a relaxing and safe summer break.

I would like to say congratulations to Mrs Brown who has won a teaching position up at Kaipara College. Whilst we are sad to see her go, we are pleased that she will be remaining in our community of learning and that our students moving onto the college, may in the future be taught by her. I would like to thank Mrs Brown for all her work this year and especially her involvement with the kapa haka. We wish her all the best for the future. 

As a result of Mrs Brown's resignation, Mrs Angela Howard in Room 24  will be joining the Y3/4 team in Room 5 and Mrs Jane Spray currently in Room 18, will be starting the new entrant class in Room 24 at the start of next year. 

Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support for our mahi and for the amazing support for our tamariki. Working together does enable us to do this mahi better. 
 
Merry Christmas and we look forward to 2020.


Kind regards,

Gary Pasfield
Principal

Student Achievement
Ribbon Day
Waimauku School sent a team to compete at the Equestrian Intermediate Interschool Ribbon Day at the Papatoetoe Pony Club in Clevedon. Despite a thundery start, hail and pouring rain, a great day was had by all. Special mention for Francesca Bishell, who won Champion in the Open Jumping section. The team placed 7th overall.  Team members: Rebecca Steffens, Francesca Bishell and Monica Richardson.
Waimauku School Basketball did really well in the finals!  U9s Misfits A grade won, U11s A grade Goonies came 2nd, lost by only 1 point and Jaws U14s  A grade came 2nd.

Student Voice
