Dear Parents and Friends of Sunderland
Vol 17, Term Three, Week One, 30 July 2021
Welcome back to school for our first week of Term Three. I particularly wish to formally welcome to Sunderland the 22 new students and families who began on Monday 19 in the Primary and 3 in the College. With this growth, staff had to increase and therefore I wish to introduce our new fulltime Primary teacher, Mrs Janicka Hockly. We know Janicka will be a wonderful addition to our school. This week has also been class and team photo week for sports and music groups. I was super impressed that all children and parents remembered the correct uniform and equipment for these photos – it does make all the difference. Please note that Mrs Victoria Ogden will be in touch with regards to ordering these photos very soon. Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon and evenings were very busy here at school too when so many of you took this opportunity to go over your child’s learning program from Term Two. Many of your children will have sat examinations in the middle of last term and this was an opportunity to reflect on the progress since these medium state assessments took place. I am aware one staff member was sick on Wednesday, but if you missed this Parent/Teacher session or missed seeing a particular teacher, please contact that staff member directly and arrange a mutually convenient time to catch up in the next few weeks.
OPEN EVENING – THURSDAY 5 AUGUST 6.30PM TO 8.30PM

Next week you may well have noticed that we have an Open Evening on Thursday 5th August, beginning at 6.30pm. Please do not hesitate to use this opportunity to bring family and friends through the school. It would be great to see you there. Most winter sports competitions have continued this week. I certainly know that Netball & Senior Basketball all had games. The Lower College and Primary Basketball starts up again very soon – playing at the Massey YMCA. If you have not yet registered, please see Mr Keen for College or Mr Baker for Primary urgently. We congratulate our Associate Leaders for Terms Three and Four.
Have a wonderful weekend, I look forward to catching up very soon.
Aspire. Succeed. Respect.

ACG Sunderland Students Invoices As mentioned in January, we moved to a new finance system at the start of the year. The implementation has gone smoothly and we’d like to thank parents who have amended their reference when making payment by bank transfer to the Communication Ref No. A small number of parents have not recognised the noreply-jde@inspirededu.com address that the invoices have been sent from, or have found that the emails have gone direct to junk. If you can please check these points if information is not coming through and, as always, please contact Mandy Allen at mandy.allen@acgedu.com or 09 838 7070 if you have any accounts questions.
No Cheque payments from 22 June 2021 ACG Sunderland will not be accepting or issuing cheques from Tuesday 22 June 2021. Payments need to be made online or over the counter with Eftpos or Credit Cards (2% surcharge). Please note that both the café and reception cannot provide any cash-out services.
