Parent/Teacher/Child Discussions and end of year reports
This year has been a disrupted and different one for reporting to you as parents, but the feedback we received from having the discussions over several afternoons and for 15 minutes per family instead of 10 minutes was very positive. Following on from this, we are now offering these discussions again. Remaining appointments can be made on
  • Monday 7th December between 3:15pm and 5:30pm.
The teacher will give you and your child their end of year report at the discussion and discuss their progress with you. The link and code to make a booking for a discussion is below:
www.schoolinterviews.co.nz        Code: 7devb
Any parents and caregivers who cannot attend a discussion will receive the report, stationery list and other information on 10th December in the same envelope that will come home with your child’s class placement for 2021.  
Your child’s stationery list for 2021 and the letter containing information about donations, Mathletics, Reading Eggs, class consumables and any other information pertaining only to your child’s team next year will now come home with the class placement sheet on 10th December.  Online stationery orders through OfficeMax will open on 11th December. 

Oneroa Kahui Ako – Food Drive

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Thank you for your support as we collect food and other items for the Salvation Army for families in need this Christmas. Our food drive ends tomorrow 4th of December! Examples of items you could send with your child to donate include: 

  • Dried goods (like pasta and rice)
  • Long lasting sweet treats (like biscuits, lollies, and candy-canes)
  • Toiletries (like deodorants, moisturizer, facial wash, and body soaps)
  • Canned food (such as baked beans, spaghetti-in-a-tin, and canned fruit)

And anything else that will give some families in need some Christmas joy! Earlier this year you sent food items to school in case of a lockdown. Please let the teacher know if you would like the food returned otherwise it will also be donated to the Salvation Army.

Thank you for your support as we help families have a great Christmas 2020!

Kind Regards

Ethan du Toit, Ella Irving, and Saya Lang

On behalf of the Oneroa Kahui Ako

Welcome and farewell
We are sad to be losing Sara Quinn at the end of the term and wish her well for the future. Sara has been a valuable and treasured member of our team for 14 years in the school office.

Northern Bays Cluster Schools Athletics Day 2020

Following on from our school athletics, a team of our top-performing nine, ten and eleven-year-olds went to the Northern Bays Cluster Super Athletics Day held at Kristin School.
