Next Friday 25th September (the last day of Term 3) we are having a Book Character Dress Up day. We missed out on having Book Week last month but wanted to give children the chance to still dress up!
Reminder - school finishes at 2pm on the last day of term.
Given the current gathering restrictions we will not be having a parade.
View your children's artwork on Seesaw.
You can log onto KINDO (our online school shop) and order calendars, diaries, mouse mats, sketch pads and cards personalised with their amazing artwork.
Perfect Christmas gifts whilst supporting your school at the same time!
Last day to order calendar art on Kindo is Wed 23 Sep
We are having a Pita Pit lunch on Wednesday 23 September!
Order forms were sent home this week or can be downloaded here. Orders must be returned to the office by children only with the correct money in an envelope by no later than Monday 21 September.
Woodlands Park School Helping Hands is a volunteer group supporting whanau experiencing temporary struggles. Our kaupapa is to coordinate practical help and support in a confidential manner to families in our Woodlands Park community.
Families in need of any assistance please contact Karen Ellis - Deputy Principal - karene@woodlandspark.school.nz
Karen will talk with you to see what kind of support you need. All discussions are treated with utmost confidentiality. Our Helping Hands will then make arrangements for your family to receive assistance from our volunteer members.
If you think you would like to help as the need arises please let us know what assistance you might be able to provide by emailing Karen. Please note this does not commit you to anything, it just provides us with a community bank to draw from.
