Term 3

Term Three is upon us- hopefully the skies will clear and we can look forward to frosty and sunny days to see us through until Spring.

This term there are a number of activities happening in the school.

• Maori Language Week
• Maths Week
• International Language Week
• Confirmation for Year 8's
• Chess Tournament
• Senior Swimming Week

Along with these activities there are many others which happen as part of our school day.

Just as a reminder: No doubt there will be coughs and colds about so we ask that you are vigilant at home and if you child is unwell, please keep them home. This will help the well being of all others in their class!

lPease go over Handwashing and Nose blowing routines with your children- particularly the young ones.

Many thanks ~The Staff
