Kia ora koutou. Hello everyone.
Todays newsletter has quite a lot of information and will be the last one for 2022.
Thank you for all your support during the year and to the year 6 children and families whose association with Glamorgan School is coming to an end, we wish you all the best for the future. To the rest of our families, have a safe and happy holiday, and we look forward to seeing you all again next year.
A message from our Student Council
On Friday 9th December we will be having a Crazy Hat Day in support of Foster Hope. Your child can come to school wearing a wild, wacky, crazy hat. If it isn’t sunsafe, they will need their usual sunhat for wearing at morning tea and lunchtime. A gold coin donation to go to the Foster Hope would be much appreciated. So, grab your hats and your creativity and get to work creating the craziest hat you can! Visit the page here for more information
End of year reports and class placements came home yesterday with your child
Your child’s report and class placement sheet for 2023 came home yesterday Wednesday 7th December. Please check your child’s bag. If you wish to discuss anything regarding the report with the class teacher, then please email them directly to make a time to see them or for a phone call, or contact the school office.

Meet the teacher evenings 2023
One of the first whole school events next year is Meet the Teacher Evenings on 8th and 9th February 2023 – you should go to your child’s classroom. We would really like to start the year by seeing as many of you as we can and it will be a great way of seeing the classroom space your child will be in.
We have changed the way we will run Meet the Teacher, taking into consideration feedback from families who could not attend every class their children are in as the times clashed. We now have two evenings with a separate time for each year level.
Why not come along and have a sausage sizzle while you wait from our lovely Friends of the School team of volunteers and cut out cooking that evening as well!
Year 1-3 Wednesday 8th February
5.30-6.00 – Matariki (Year 1)
6.00-6.30 – Whanake (Year 2)
6.30-7.00 – Hapori (Year 3)

Glamorgan School turns 50 in 2023 and we are planning some special events throughout the year. Our first event will be a school community picnic to be held on Friday 3rd March (save day 17th March) from 5-7pm. There will be face painting and fun activities such as frisbees, sack races, egg and spoon, corn hole, ring toss and more that children and families can rotate around. Friends of the School (FoTS) will sell ice blocks and you’ll be able to order pizza through FoTS as well that will be delivered on the evening. So mark this in your calendar, bring your picnic rug and have some fun kicking off the 50th Jubilee celebrations!
