THIS WEEK’S MEMORY VERSE
He who listens to a life-giving rebuke will be at home among the wise.
Proverbs 15:31
Principles Notice
Tena koutou whanau ma – warm greetings to everyone.
Firstly a big ‘THANK YOU’ to whanau for working with us to get the ‘little things’ right. We are noticing a real difference in the school in terms of unity and peace. The students are looking great in their uniforms which is commendable.
We are well into the learning programmes now with senior courses and pathways firmed up. As always, if there are changes in the interests our students have, please let us know in case that impacts their course selections.
As indicated previously, we are working on a new format for our Parent Reports. We have a training session next week to have the format set up on our school/parent portal (Kamar) and we hope to be able to send out the first report to parents in Week 6, March 7th. If there are any major hiccups this may get pushed out to the 14th.
Coming up on March 3rd 5:30pm to 6:30pm is a Whanau afternoon/evening event where parents and whanau are invited in to the school to connect with teachers and also to hear a little about what is taking place at the moment – please mark this date in your calendars and come along to connect up and fellowship with one another.
Acts 2:42 ESV
And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
Nga mihi mahana

PRIMARY CAMP
Kia ora whānau,
We are looking for a couple of parent and whānau volunteers to help with the cooking at our upcoming Primary school camp on the 12-14th March. Your support would be greatly appreciated in preparing meals and ensuring our tamariki are well-fed and ready for all the camp activities! If you are available to help, even for part of the time, please let Whaea Jess know by 10th February so we can organize a roster. Pop into Room 5 (Year 1/2 room) or email [email protected]
Ngā mihi nui.
