Greetings to everyone who is, or has been supporting or helping our school
Parent –Teacher Interviews School reports will be coming home soon. Please read these carefully. Plan to discuss any questions that
arise from them, at the parent interviews in the last week of term. The Parent Interviews are on Tuesday
10th
April between 1:30 and 7:30pm, or on Wednesday, 11th
April between 3:30 and 5:30pm. Bookings
can be made, online, using www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and the event code grj9c. If you are unable to
make bookings online yourself you can still book an interview by calling the office and having Kathy or
Donelle book it for you. Maretta Hodgson, Public Health Nurse, will be available for interviews on
Tuesday 10th
April between 2:00 and 5:00pm. Please book a time with her online, the same as you would
a teacher.
Classes end at 12:40pm on Tuesday 10th
April To allow more time for parent interviews on Tuesday 10
th April, classes will end at 12:40pm (lunchtime)
and the Parent Interviews will start at 1:30pm. Children can walk home (if that’s what usually
happens at home time). Parents can pick them up, if that’s what normally happens. Teachers are busy
conducting interviews, so children who remain at school are unsupervised.
If they need to remain at school we ask that you enroll them in Kelly Club for the afternoon (after School
Care) which will start at 1pm. You need to arrange this by phoning Deejay on 021 176 9290. She is
offering a supervised movie and popcorn at a cost of $7 per child. Buses will run at the normal times
for any bus students who are still here at 3pm.
Life Choices Last year we conducted a survey of our staff and community about Bible in Schools, to determine the
level of support for the programme. The results indicated that two thirds (67%) support some level of
Bible in Schools programme operating. Suggestions from the survey also led to changes in the
programme, so last year, and again this year, the programme offered is Life Choices. If you would like
to view examples of the lessons, these are available at the school office.
We recognize that some families would prefer their children not to attend the Life Choices programmes
which take place on Wednesdays, just before lunch, during Term 2 and 3. You may have even indicated
this on the enrolment form. Children are free to go home for an early lunch during Life Choices, or can
attend alternative activities, in the school, that are organized and run by school staff.
To make sure our information is up-to-date please complete the return slip below if your child is not to
attend Life Choices and return the slip to school before Thursday 12th
April.
Regards
Dave Bradley
Principal

Calling all old Mobile Phones to help Sustainable
Coastlines look after NZ’s coastlines and
waterways It would be great if you could have one last rummage
around in your drawers and toy boxes and bring into
School any unwanted mobile phones before the end of
term.
Phones collected help our School gain valuable rewards and also the environment
benefits by keeping our landfills free of mobile phones and their array of hazardous
toxic substances.
Please drop any unwanted mobile phones you may have in the collection box in the
reception area at School.
