Greetings Everyone

We seem to have quite a few children arrive at school before 8.30 am. Although the mornings are colder, children are still expected to go outside after they unpack their bags.

The school is automatically unlocked at 8.25 am each day and the bell for the start of the day rings at 8.55 am.
If your child arrives after this time, they are to enter the school by their home base room and parents, please go to office to sign your child in.

Our annual Book Fair begins today. Books are on display in the foyer until next Wednesday. Parents are welcome to come and browse anytime throughout the day until 3.30 pm and students can look during morning tea times. Teachers can take their students through anytime and students may fill out their Wish List to take home and share with you.

Over the last few weeks, teachers have been extremely busy writing reports and these will go home with your child/ren today. This year we have used a new mid year format that includes student effort and our school values. Also for the first time, a student comment has been added.

A wee reminder about Student Led Conferences on Monday 1st July. There are still spaces available for those who have yet to book a time. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to share their learning with you. Bookings close on Friday afternoon.


Heads up for future athletes. The Otago Primary Schools' Cross Country is being held on Friday 30th August which is the week before our North Otago Cross Country on Monday 2nd September.
Please contact Mrs Sime if you have a child who would like to enter. 

I know that a lot of hard work has gone into the preparation for the Quiz on Friday night by the fabulous Friends of the School members. It is always a good social night out so don't forget to ring the office if you want to book a table. 

Our school choir of 23 children have been practising hard throughout the term for the North Otago Music Festival. This takes place on Tuesday night at the Oamaru Opera House. I'm looking forward to listening to them perform.

Mrs Smith is away to Timaru tomorrow with 2 students to attend the Outlook For Some Day Film Challenge.This is for students in Yrs 7-13  and the workshop covers all aspects of film making. Well done to Markus Cubillo and Alex Scadden who were selected to attend. 

Good luck to our speech finalists who represent our school tomorrow night in Oamaru. 

Have a good week everybody.
