Weekly Notices, Term 3, Week 9

Welcome, all parents and caregivers to Week 9. Unfortunately Covid has finally caught me so we will have a wonderful reliever in to teach Ruma 15. this week With Spring well and truly in the air we have been exploring the world around us and noticing the changes that this brings. 

We have also been exploring the extraordinary life of Queen Elizabeth II with the children displaying special interest in Castles and Flags. If students could bring in small cardboard boxes. tubes etc, they will be able to design and create their own castles this week.

There are now only two weeks until the holidays at the end of Term 3. A reminder that next week on Monday the 26th of September we will be commemorating the Queen's passing with a one-off public holiday and therefore there will be no school on this day. We are also getting close to the opening day of our School Production in Week 10. The children have been practising hard and Mrs Trask has been doing a fantastic job in putting everything together with the children. The evening shows are already sold out and only tickets for the Matinee Performance now remain.

Fun Run

Mrs Bowen's doing a great job with the Fun Run organisation.


On Friday October 21, we will be holding our sponsored event.

 School COLOUR Fun Run!

Fantastic Fundraising

The effort and enthusiasm from students has been fantastic and we’ve had a

great start to our big fundraiser for the year, as we were unable to hold a Gala

Day.Can your child come up with ideas to help them fundraise - chores, helping a

neighbour in the garden, and I am sure there are many more ideas they can

think of.

Please keep sharing your child's link

Go to schoolfunrun.co.nz,share your online fundraising link via SMS, Email and Social Media. If someone

would like to sponsor your child and give them cash, they can do this.  Please

take the money to the office, with your child's name and room number and we

will be able to add the amount to their profile.

THANK YOU! For the support we have received from everyone.  It

isn’t too late to make a profile for your child if you haven’t done

one yet. 

Top Class for Week 2 of the Promotion

Be the class that raises the most for the week

and win ice cream sundaes for your class Golden Time


Week 1 classes who will receive juicies.

Congratulations to Room 3 and Room 12.


Xmas Box

We have had a couple of items come through for our charity Christmas box collection. Thanks to the Stahlhut family for their contributions shown by David and Simon below. See the information below if you wish to contribute.



This term we are taking part in Operation Christmas Child. Each class has a shoebox which they will pack with different gifts, prayers, and letters. This will be sent to a child across the world who would not normally receive a gift on Christmas Day. Your child may wish to put a little something special into the box. Look at  “Operation Christmas Child Videos 2022” which has some inspiring videos and ideas.


Production Clothes

Some children are yet to bring their clothes for the production. Please see the notes below if you haven't already sent in your child's costume.

Once you have found an option for your child’s costume, please keep it safe for a few weeks and then put it in a named bag and bring it to school to give to your class teacher in WEEK 8. This way we can check everyone has a costume and have them all ready to go for Week 9 Rehearsals and Week 10’s shows. 


It is only two weeks to go and it is Showtime. Everything seems to be going along smoothly thanks to Mrs Trask's great organisational skills. She is doing a fantastic job of keeping all staff and children informed about what is going on


Wednesday Mr Macmillan hosts the Principal’s luncheon at 11.45 in the staffroom. Invitations will be given to children tomorrow.

Viewing the Icon - Holy Mary, Mother of God

Today we were lucky enough to visit a beautiful piece of artwork showing  Ko Hāta Maria, te Matua Wahine o te Atua - Holy Mary, Mother of God. It was created by Dunedin artist, Damian Walker, who has integrated aspects of the Māori culture into his work. For example, Mary is holding 12 fern fronds and each koru represents an apostle. She is wearing a tiki around her neck which symbolises her motherhood. Baby Jesus is wearing a kahu kiwi (Kiwi feathered cloak) which was only ever worn by Māori chiefs or people with prestigious mana. The children were blown away by the stunning details within the painting and how they all had a special meaning. Father Thomas was able to answer many questions about the art before leading us in singing Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
