Farewell and thank you to Miss Macmillan who has been working alongside Mrs Orr in Ruma Rua for the last 4 weeks. We wish you all the best for the rest of your study Hannah.
UPDATED CONTACT DETAILS - have yours changed since you enrolled your child?
It is ALWAYS really important that school is immediately contacted when you change address, or have a new phone number or email address, OR the contact details for one of your emergency contacts change. Sadly, we often find ourselves not able to contact you or your contacts immediately, as this has been overlooked. Please check that we do have up to date details for your child/ren. If they are suddenly unwell, it is very disheartening for them to not have a significant adult in their life at their side.
As it is a Board of Trustees election year, it is extra important that we have correct addresses etc of everyone eligible to vote in the upcoming BoT election. Nominations will be called for early next term.
Email, phone or text the school to update right now!

Earlier this week I visited Christchurch Schools with the other Principal colleagues from our Palmerston North East Kahui Ako (formerly called a Community of Learning). We were attending schools to see ways that they have developed wellbeing and resilience in their schools following the devastating earthquakes of 2010 and 2011.
As this has been booked for several months, we certainly didn’t expect to be there less than a fortnight after their recent traumatic events. The children, staff and communities seem to be managing very well and every school we spoke with talked about the importance of regular routines and positivity for the children.
We will continue to develop our skills in wellbeing and resilience, so that in turn we can support our tamariki in these areas too.

Our heartfelt aroha and condolences go with everyone affected by the horrible event that occurred in Christchurch last Friday. We also extend our gratitude and thanks to the many services (both professional and voluntary) that have been responders to this action, assisting those affected in any way possible, and that is right across the country!

Preliminary figures show that the school will benefit from almost $1800 in profit following the cookie fundraiser. Wow! Thanks once again to everyone who supported this. Cookies are due to be delivered to school at the end of the day on the 28th March.

Thank you to everyone who placed an order for cookies in the recent PTA fundraiser. We really appreciate the effort that many of you put into supporting us with raising funds that are then spent making things ‘even better’ for the tamariki here at Hokowhitu School.
The cookies will be delivered to school on the 28th March (as close to 3pm as possible so everything stays frozen).
Congratulations and thank you to Boston D who was our top seller with sales of $315.50. Wow! A prize was presented to Boston today.
Special thanks to the 4 other families who each sold between $200 and $230 of cookies too - a fine effort from all of you. Ka pai!
