WAIHI EAST SCHOOL SCHOOL NEWSLETTER 19/2015

24th June 2015

Kia ora By golly our girl Tiare was in top form again at the Bay of Plenty Cross Country taking out third place. Her next competition is in Palmerston North. Congratulations to Tiare and your whanau for your amazing effort. We are super proud of you.

Tomorrow is our KidsCan Mufti Day or Wacky Hair Day. Our aim is to give back to a fabulous charity that gives so much to us. To date our school/tamariki have received hats, scarves, shoes, socks, jackets, trou, hot meals and snacks. Please dig deep and help us raise $200. All payments will be collected in classrooms.

I hope you had the opportunity to share in todays whanau day– celebrating the Pacific rim. Our tamariki enjoyed sharing their item with you and discovering new kai to cook and enjoy. If you were unable to come, check us out on facebook. Robbie will have shared the excitement with you.

This week I enjoyed reading the year 4-6 mid year reports. Many principal stickers where handed out in celebration of awesome mahi/work. Congratulations on your efforts and enjoy sharing these with your whanau.

Do you have a spot of time to support Phil and the team with electives each Friday? We are looking for whanau to come each Friday morning from 9.30-10.50am to inspire and share. From arts and craft to making and baking, children love learning from you. Please consider this option of supporting your kura. Together We Rise Above and Shine.

Lastly a reminder about school uniform. Please help your child come to school in correct uniform. We have a few odd jackets and colourful clothes on display. Be part of the Team, and dress according to our policy.
