Student Led Conferences – next week
Next Tuesday and Wednesday our school shuts at 2pm
so we can meet with parents and children to discuss
learning.
All families were given the chance to nominate
meeting times – for those of you who did this we have
timetabled your appointment accordingly. If you did
not return a slip then you have been given a time by
the office. It is vital that if this time does not suit you
let the office know immediately.
These appointment times were sent home on Monday
Teachers and students put a lot of effort and time into
preparing to meet with you so please make the effort
to come along.
There is a gift for all families that attend!
Congratulations to Lara who won the $30 grocery
voucher for returning her booking slip to school.

families to drastically reduce their camp fees.
Merger Update
Principal welcome; starting from next week we will
have a group of students from all three schools
forming a welcome kapahaka group; they will be
practicing once a week together. We are in the process
of finalising the date for the welcome ceremony – this

Circus School
Room 3 have had their four weeks at circus school and
this week lucky room 1 get to go to circus school. They
will have regular weekly sessions for the next four
weeks.
Impetigo - School Sores
I have attached a pamplet on impetigo, commonly
known as school sores. These sores are highly
infectious and can only be cured with antibiotics. If you
think your child may have them they will need to be
taken to the doctor.
Health Nurse
Our school health nurse will do a school visit next
Tuesday, 17 June to check up on our general wellbeing. If your child has any sores, itches or other issues
you would like our health nurse to look at please
return the slip below.
Some of these sores may be contagious so it is
important we keep a check on them.
