WAIHI EAST SCHOOL SCHOOL NEWSLETTER 05/2015 4 March 2015
Kia ora
A huge congratulations to our swim team who are competing in the local Waihi Cluster competition
today. We look forward to hearing about your successes and competitive spirit. My thanks to Phil for
organizing this event and our team of teacher and whanau who were able to support this special day.
Yesterday I had my first meeting with the Student Council Chairperson (Arama) and Vice Chairperson
(Isobel). Our year six team have decided to fund raise for sports uniforms and first aid kits. Watch out as
the year progresses as to their new ideas and initiatives.
I love a community kai after prize giving. It is a lovely way to celebrate our successes as a team and
come together as a united group. In the past, our school pig bucket has fattened a pig. Last year our pig
bucket was not very successful. With the support of our year six students we aim to fill a bucket of scraps
each school day allowing for a pig to be fed, then eaten together at prize giving. Your help of reminding your
children about using the pig bucket for lunchbox scraps will be appreciated. Our thanks to the Tai whanau for
supplying the pig and meeting it’s requirements.
How is your giant pumpkin growing? Our competition is well and truly on but it seems they are tricky
things to grow. I can grow kamo kamo like crazy but no pumpkin has developed. Lets hope you are having more
success in the pumpkin growing department than I am!
Nits are doing the rounds at school. We now have new supplies of KidsCan lice treatment. Please let us
know if you would like nit treatment slipped into your child’s bag. Our Health Nurse Tracey Maloney will visit
classes later in the month to share combing strategies with students - one of the best ways to keep these
pests at bay.
