Kia ora whānau,
As the second last week of the term draws to a close, so does the format for the school newsletter. Thanks to all of our families, 51.3% of you completed the recent ‘Newsletter’ survey. Of the responses, 82.8% acknowledge that they like receiving the newsletter via email. If you would still like to receive the newsletter in a printed format, please fill out the slip at the bottom of the last page of this newsletter, and return it to the school office.
From next term the newsletter will be sent to you from our new format with ‘Mailchimp’. This should be much easier for you to access, as it is not in a pdf format. This format also allows for an upload to our school Facebook page and to have unlimited content which is not restricted to two A4 pages.
In conjunction with our PTA, we would like to know from you and your child what you would like to see added to the playground or classroom to add value to your child/rens learning experience here at school. Your suggestions could include many different aspects of everyday life here at school. I have posted large posters in the hallway of both the senior and junior blocks for you to post your suggestions. There is coloured card to write your ideas on, then attach them to the poster. The PTA and the school will use this information to guide us in the spending of funds raised by the PTA and also funds within the school budget.
We look forward to your suggestions. Here is a picture of what to look for!
Have a great two week term break from next Friday, stay safe and warm.
Nga mihi,
Kim Blackwood
Principal
