No 7 Term 2 10th - 14th June 2019

Kia ora Tatou,

This week I have been very pleased to see resilient children in the playground who can seek alternative play

activities when their first choice is not available. Many of our children are also taking on the responsibility of

trying out different activities and games alongside new/different groups of friends. These are great examples of

our students ‘living by’ our values in the school!

Matariki Breakfast

We are currently learning about Matariki alongside our Kura Ahurea, Te Reo Maori programme.

Our Whanau group are helping us to hold a Matariki Celebratory Breakfast on Wednesday

19 June from 7:30am. We invite all of our whanau and community to join us in the school hall for breakfast

and to share in our learning.

The organisation is as follows:

● 7:30am: Official welcome into the hall.

● 7:30am : 8:15am: Breakfast available for whanau.

● 8:30am: Everyone in the hall for korero and waiata.

Note: Children will say a Karakia with their whanau before eating. When your family has finished eating, the

children will share their learning in the classroom. We look forward to seeing everyone back in the hall at

8:30am to finish our celebrations. Please bring bowls, plates, cutlery and cups for your whanau.

Bring and Buy

Tomorrow (Friday 14 June) is our first Bring and Buy for 2019. This is a very popular event in which our senior

students provide a gala environment for everyone to become ‘consumers’ for a day. Everyone is welcome to

join us from 11:30am - 12:30pm in and around the school hall.

Board of Trustee Elections

Thank you to all of the Nominees who put their names forward for our Board of Trustee Elections. Votes are

currently being tallied and Wayne Goodfellow, our current Chairperson, will be in contact with all of our

nominees. Results will be published for our community when all nominees have been contacted.

School Hoodies

In 2018 our students persuaded us through their writing to provide school branded hoodies. As the weather

cools down this is a clothing option that is available for our children. Please refer to our order form at the end of

this newsletter or contact the office if you would like to consider purchasing a school hoodie.

Please come and see me, email me or call the school to talk with me if you have any questions or queries.

Matariki Celebrations

We are looking forward to celebrating Matariki and the Maori New Year with

a Matariki breakfast at HCS on Wednesday 19th June, starting at 7.30am.

The children are working hard on their Pepeha and they are looking forward

to sharing these with you in their classes.

The Matariki celebrations will begin with a Karakia at 7.30am, to give

thanks, and to bless the food, people and our place. Whanau are welcome to join us

between 7.30am and 8.15am for kai celebrations. This is a chance to visit your child’s

class and for your child to share their learning. The school will come together again in the

hall at 8.30am.

Prior to eating we will say a karakia:

Whakapainga ēnei kai (Bless this food)

Hei oranga mō ō mātou tinana (For the health of our bodies)

Mō ō mātou wairua hoki (and our spirits)

Amine (Amen)

We ask that whanau bring their own bowl and utensils, and a small koha.

Please can all whanau expecting to attend complete the Signmee notice sent earlier this

week, by Friday 2pm.

BRING AND BUY

Friday 14th June 11.30am - 12.30pm

The Bring and Buy is an event that is run by the students (with support from

the school staff) twice a year and is always a popular day. All money raised

from the Bring and Buy will be used to reduce the costs of the next Senior

Syndicate camp.

Monday morning and baking to the school hall before 9.00am on the morning of 14th June.
