Greetings GI Family
There certainly is a new energy around the place - could it be the change in light, the launch of the Maths competition or the upcoming Sports Camp! This week the management team set the plans for the next few weeks and discussed the variety of student focussed activities that are in planning stages due to kick off in term 4.
Sports Camp
Our students head to a new Sports Camp YMCA facility in Hunua from Monday 15 to Friday 19 September. The change to the new venue was driven by the cost per pupil at our regular camp. If your child is off to camp, please ensure that you have ticked off every item on their equipment list. Visitors to the YMCA Hunua Camp are welcomed - if you do attend, make yourself known to any of the teachers when you first arrive. All visitors are expected to follow the venue directives (parking, smoking / vaping etc.).
Thank You
Thank you for supporting our Get home, Get changed, Get permission request before allowing your child to the playground at the Eastview Reserve. This ensures their safety in this new space.
Another word of thanks to the parents of our senior class Rm6 who have had 5 continuous days of 100% attendance. Well done seniors - simply awesome!
Celebrating Our Young Writers: This week, we're thrilled to celebrate the writing of Seini (Rm 3) and Fatima (Rm 7). When you’re at reception do take a few moments to read their work. The chosen pieces are always a good read.
Looking Ahead
Check if your child has brought home an invitation to the Recognition Assembly for Friday 12 September at 9:30am!
Duffy assembly with Speaker Nua Finua (dancer / producer and writer) is on Friday 12 September at 11:30.
If you purchased an ex-lease Chromebook, this will be available next week ( 8 - 12 Sept.)
If your child is in Yr 5, every family will need to provide a device for learning for the next 3 years. Planning for this device starts with an at-school conversation with either Mrs Petersen or Mr Hendricks.
Have you sourced all requirements for the upcoming Sports Camp- 1 week to go!
The first BOT meeting for the new board is at 4:30pm on Thursday 18 September
End of term 3 is Friday 19 September at 2pm
Start of Term 4 is Monday 6 October at 9am as usual - and daylight saving would have started.
SKIDS - after school care: Do you need a safe space / or activities for your child or children after school Monday to Friday. Are you concerned about cost? Contact Anjum to discuss the options for your family. Anjum: anjum@skids.co.nz 021 0686 892
