Kia ora e te whaanau, 

Every second Friday on assembly afternoons we will have our kai table at the front gate. We will be selling kai from our own maara (garden) and from The Microfarm! Gold coin donations and online banking will be accepted, so if you would like to tautoko our growing efforts please give us a koha! 

Today we are a little late getting this notice out, but there are some salads, a pumpkin, a potted fennel and some other items for sale. 

Pizza orders will be collected at 3pm today 
No orders will be accepted after that time. 
Orders have been collected from the classrooms each day by senior students.

Kia ora e te whaanau, 

Hope you're enjoying this beautiful weather and had a fun weekend! Well done to all the tamariki out there playing winter sports - keep sending their photos in so we can celebrate them in our FB reels! 

A couple of things to note:

Camp Fundraiser
- Thank you to the amazing parents who helped with the BBQ fundraiser on Friday evening (including those who baked, lent crockpots etc)! I think we raised around $400, which will be taken off the total camp costs and make it slightly cheaper for Yr5 & 6 parents. If any other senior parents would like to do another fundraiser to make camp cheaper you are most welcome to do so.

Gymfest 2026
Expressions of interest for gymnastics are now closed. We've had a whopping 36 children interested in doing it, so Christie is going to have her work cut out for her! She will beginning training sessions this week during lunchtimes, starting today with the youngest students. The students will have two sessions to decide if they wish to continue, and if it isn't for them or if they are not managing to participate they will be taken off the list.  

Absences
Please remember to let us know if your child is absent. You can do this by leaving a voicemail message on our absentee line; by texting; by emailing; via Skool Loop; and via our website - it couldn't be easier!
Please also remember that children who have experienced vomiting or diarrhoea should have a 48 hour stand down from their last episode, so do not send them back to school the following day.

Here is what's coming up this week: 
Tuesday
Mr M-B is taking a group of Year 6 students to Hamilton for the National Young Leaders Day.

Wednesday
The usual Hot Food day, Launchpad and Kapa Haka.
Pizza order forms are due back Wednesday with cash. If they arrive after Wednesday your child may not have their pizza lunch on Friday.

Friday
PTA Pizza Friday - pre-ordered pizzas will be served up at lunchtime.
Assembly at 2.10pm in the MP Room. All welcome. 

Kia ora koutou, 

Just a reminder that sponsorship forms and money for the Bike-a-thon are due back to school tomorrow (Thursday) please.
