From the
Principal
Our term 3 value is:
Duty
Our key messages
with the children are:
Duty is giving to
others and giving every job your best effort
Duty is caring for
our environment: recycle, reduce and re-use
Dear parents/caregivers
With only two weeks left of the term before the October holidays we are
racing around finishing off term 3 activities and projects.
Cluster Art Show: Every two years we contribute to our local
cluster art exhibition at Papatoetoe North School. You are
invited to view the art in their school hall on 17-18 September. Each
school contributes a number of pieces of students’ art work. It
is always well worth a visit. Our special thanks go to Papatoetoe
North School for hosting the event.
Viewing times are : Wednesday 17 September – all day
until 7.30pm, Thursday 18 September – all day until 4.30pm
We are very proud of the work being submitted from our school.
Congratulations to the students whose art has been selected. It
is always fantastic to see such talent on display!
Book Week: We have had an exciting book week this week. The
children have participated in a number of activities and today we had a
big book swap and a book character parade in the hall. It was
great seeing costumes of favourite book characters – the children loved
dressing up!
PTA Sausage Sizzle: Just a reminder that the PTA will be sizzling
sausages tomorrow at lunchtime to raise funds for our fitness
trail. So you may wish to have a day off preparing the lunch
box.. Your support is hugely appreciated by our wonderful PTA.
Warmest wishes for the weekend. We hope that you will be able to
enjoy some special time with your children. Go the
All Blacks and the Warriors in Australia!
Kind regards
Marilyn Gwilliam
Principal
