PRINCIPALS POINTS
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa – warm greetings to everyone
Dear Parents/ caregivers,
Our Principal, Margaret Civil, is currently on leave. We wish her well.

Last week the school offered to arrange counselling services for any student that you
feel needs support through the grieving process for Connor. Please be aware that
the offer stands and is available through the rest of this term. Contact a staff
member and we will see that the appropriate people are informed.

We welcome all these new children to our school: Riki Holt, Juliet McDonald, Samuel
Martelli, Max Crafar, Annabelle Shaw.

New I pads are within arm’s reach and I know some very excited children are looking
forward to working with them. We are currently setting up the systems to support
the new technology, and will be ready in the next few weeks.

Thanks: Firstly, a big thank you to all who supported the students and staff last week
through a very unexpected and hard time. The wrapping around of care and
thoughtful actions shown was amazing and much appreciated.

Following on soon after was another successful Pet Day. The leadership team is well
polished and very ably led by Hine, Kylie and Kyle. It all ran smoothly.
We acknowledge and thank you for your drive and dedication.

There is a small group of children participating in Group Day at Waikite School this
Friday. We wish them well in their endeavours.
Many thanks to everyone who works in a positive way to make Reporoa
Primary a great place to work and learn.
From our team –Margaret, Jill, Renee, Julia, Susannah, Esther, Kay, Julie & Julie,
Maureen, Heather, Diane, Tina, Mary, Des, Rex & Maire.

Community Consultation Follow Up:
An attempt has been made by the Board of Trustees to gather your feedback and accurately
transfer your thinking to usefully plan forward. We thank everybody who took the time to meet
or discuss over the phone.
These were some the positives: transitioning from Kindy, attractive well-kept grounds, positive
interactions across classes, great teachers, strong whanau group, bus roll procedures, B.O.T.
Improvements can be made in these areas: these broadly fit under the area of
communication.
Better information for new parents; we are going back to a booklet form as well as using the
website.
The staff are currently reviewing and updating the booklet which will contain generalised
information about the school with dedicated pages about some of the special features such as
Reading Together, P.B.4.L., and various Sports Days.
