We also said farewell to Steph McDonald (Room 1) who is moving to the UK to further her career and to Jessica Rebay (Room 37) who will be perusing interests outside teaching. We hope both teachers return to the CBS orbit in time. Have a great holiday!

Year 6 Graduation On Wednesday 9 December year six students gathered for their graduation dinner followed by the graduation ceremony. Following a three course dinner served by our highly trained wait persons (teachers) our year six graduating students were welcomed to their ceremony with a powhiri. Congratulations to all our graduating year six students who now move onto the next stage of their education journey. As usual, we look forward to hearing of their progress after they leave Campbells Bay School.

Concerts and Twilight Family Fun Night The weather smiled upon us providing a perfect back drop to two concerts in conjunction with a family fun evening. Our students performed with enthusiasm, in spite of some understandable end of year tiredness. Whether singing, dancing or both they captivated the large audience on the field with their talent and energy. Of course, end of year concerts are never complete without the staff dance item and, once again, this was well received. What next for 2016?! Thank you to all parents who assisted in some way with the activities. Your help was greatly valued. Further photos of the concerts can be viewed by going to ‘Events’ on the school’s website – after the weekend.
Travelwise WALKING SCHOOL BUS CELEBRATION
A fruit platter breakfast was held to celebrate those Travelwise parents and children who walk to CBS. Each child received a little prize courtesy of Auckland Transport. Keep being Travelwise CBS. Make it your New Year Resolution!
2016 Yes, I know, it is far too soon to be talking about the 2016 school year when the 2015 school year has only just ended! However, it probably makes sense to share a reminder with you regarding adherence to the school uniform. As happens when people get a bit tired near the end of the year, in the latter part of this term there was some noticeable slippage regarding the wearing of the appropriate school uniform. This was particularly evident when it came to adherence re footwear. When you are purchasing school footwear over the holidays please be aware the requirement of the school’s uniform requirements for footwear (either shoes or sandals), namely either all black or all navy blue. In order to ensure the school uniform is being worn correctly there will be regular inspections starting at the beginning of the school year. If there is a medical reason your child cannot wear footwear that complies with the school’s requirements please write a note outlining the reason. In the first half of January we will be sending out reminders regarding the purchase of stationery for the school year as well as reminders of school office hours in the latter part of the holidays. As announced at the end of the concerts on Monday evening, the school has secured the rights to perform The Lion King Jr as the year five and six musical production in 2016. While exact performance dates have yet to be confirmed, the show will run over four evenings in August.
