Nau mai, haere mai!
We welcomed our Year 5 students back to school from Moke Lake this morning. They had the best weather ever and were an adventurous and very happy crew! Thank you to the wonderful teachers, parents and Matt Leach, DP, who ensured all health and safety plans were in place and the marquee was erected and dismantle. d. What an awesome team!
Between 9-9.30am I invite you to meet me in the staffroom for a coffee catch up. This is a time for me to get a feeling for how your children have settled at school and whether they or you have any concerns. Communication and consultation are key to a successful partnership between home and school. No item is off the Agenda.
Attached to this newsletter are the staff videos introducing themselves to you. We hope you enjoy them.
There is nothing to report regarding classrooms being demolished and new classrooms arriving. The property sub committee of the Board will meet with the capital works team from Christchurch next week for further information. In the meantime, teachers and students are coping extremely well under the circumstances.
A big THANK YOU to Jamie Turner, our caretaker and Sophie Killeen, our gardener for the outstanding efforts they have contributed to preparing the grounds after a long Summer break. Our swimming pool is clean and regularly cared for and the grass has an ongoing maintenance plan.
The staff and their families are meeting at the beach after school today to learn more about each other and enjoy each other’s company. I am taking the kayak across the lake and many are bringing boats, hampers and children. This Summer just keeps on giving.
Kia pai te mutunga wiki
