SWIMMING POOL

At the most recent Board meeting, members discussed the possibility of the swimming pool being available over the holiday period for community use. Due to the uncertain stages of covid levels/traffic lights etc, the members reluctantly decided that we could not be assured of meeting all the potential COVID requirements. This means that the pool will NOT be open for community use over the holidays.

The pool will definitely be ‘in full use’ for the tamariki over the school term. Let’s bring on those summer rays!

SUNSCREEN

With the summer rays comes the need for sun protection. Staff endeavour to remind the children to apply their home supplied sunscreen at break times - please check that your child knows how to apply this effectively. 

CYCLE TRACK

While our cycle track has been in use for almost all of this year, we have been patiently waiting for some of our bikes and helmets to be delivered. It is great that they have all arrived now and we now have a set of bikes/helmets here at school.
To give each kete a fair go at using the bikes/track we have allocated each kete to a day in the week where they have priority use.

Monday - TKT Tuesday - TKA Wednesday - TKM Thursday - TKP Friday - TKW

As we do not have enough bikes for everyone, we encourage you to bring your child’s bike on this day.
As an extra precaution against head lice we encourage children to bring their own helmet, even if they are using a school bike. 

CONGRATULATIONS

We were delighted to hear that last Friday Michelle and Scott Burch became proud parents to their son Henry. Huge congratulations to you both - great news!

aPlus plan to provide care on this day. The cost to parents will be $30.00 per child from 8.30am to 3.00pm. After that normal after-school costs apply.
