Dear Parents,

Just a reminder that our second Teacher Only Day, provided by the Ministry of Education, will be on Thursday November 12.  This means school is closed to children for the day while teachers complete some learning on the new curriculum.

Thank you,

Jude Irwin

Dear Parents

Just a reminder that today is the final day to return unpurchased chocolate and the fundraising money. Many thanks

Hi Everyone,

Just letting you know Matt Colgan has also offered to stay over on our camp.  Thanks Matt.  We now have our 2 helpers.

Kind regards,

Jude and Angela

Dear Parents,

We have had one parent offer to help on camp so far with the overnight stay.  Thanks Nick McKain, we would love to have you join us. This will entail you arriving after dinner, (as we are having KFC in Rolleston prior), at about 8 pm, and joining us for supper and some camp activities before an overnight sleep in the tent. In the morning we will all have breakfast together. Just a note, we do not have showering facilities yet.  If there is another person keen, let Jude or Angela know soon as we do need to make sure all people staying are police vetted.

Fairton Home and School have let us know that their successful barbecue at Mitre 10 held in the weekend has managed to raise $65 per child for school camp.  This will cover the cost children were going to be charged for activities and KFC. Thanks to everyone who helped with this. The school will be contributing funds for the hire of the van, petrol, extra staffing, food and other miscellaneous camp items. So this means that this year camp is covered for your child / children, and there will be nothing extra for you to pay.  We will ask you to provide a tin of yummy baking for our supper, morning and afternoon teas.

This year, not having to pay anything is a one off, and we will need to do a variety of fund-raisers next year for our 2 day camp, and many more for our 3 day camp the following year at a camp venue (such as Living Springs). 

Camp lists and other information will keep coming out from now on.  A permission slip will go home this week.

Kind regards,

Jude and Angela

Dear Parents,

If your child is attending tomorrow's game and would like to be part of the guard of honor and sit in the special seating area, please let us know so we can coordinate details.

Many thanks
