July 29 - Parent interviews Kia ora tatou Dear Parents Dobbs family It was with considerable sorrow that we heard last week of the accidental death of Paul Dobbs while he was participating in a motorcycle event on the Isle of Man. We extend our sympathies to Bridget, Eadlin and Hillberry at this time. A fund has been set up taking donations to support Bridget and the girls in the coming years. Donations may be made to the National Bank, account number: 06-0405-0201898-00 Respect At this week’s assembly, the following students were presented with certificates recognising the respect they have demonstrated: Davinia Green (Yr 13): displaying respectful attitude to her teachers and all her class mates. Adele Hira (Rm 4 Yr 3) respecting her peers in and out of the classroom. Vivian Robinson (Rm 5 Yr 3) waiting her turn, helping others and being polite. Caitlin Rowell (Rm 2 Yr 1) always uses her manners and follow instructions well. Canteen Weekly Special The special for the week Monday 21 June to Thursday 24 June is Mince and Cheese Pitas cost $3.00 Change of clothes With the advent of the real winter weather, it is important for students who are choosing to play outside where there is the possibility of getting wet and muddy to have a change of clothes. This will then avoid uniforms getting wet and muddy and be healthier, avoiding students having to sit around in wet clothes. Mufti Day There will be a mufti day next week on June 23. This is a day to support the group of students going on the Spirit of New Zealand Trophy voyage in August. The theme for the day will be “BLUE” and/or “ SAILING” in keeping with the group planned adventure. There will also be a sausage sizzle that day, raising money for the same cause. The charge for both the mufti day and the sausages will be a gold coin donation, (That is a gold coin for wearing mufti and another gold coin for the sausage.) Calf Club With Calf Club approaching, it is appropriate to remind parents of the dates that are important for that event. All animals entered in the Calf Club must be born after 1 July. This applies to calves, goats and lambs. All animals are then divided into groups according to age, but there should be no calves at Calf Club born after the end of August, and all lambs and goats at Calf Club should be at least three weeks old. All animals entered in Calf Club Competition must be hand reared from within a week of birth. Information about rearing animals for Calf Club is available on our website and from the school office. We now have a confirmed date for our day – it will be Saturday October 16, with Group day this year at Harrisville on Thursday October 28. Gala/Calf Club Day Just a reminder of the Gala day meeting Tuesday 22nd June, in the library at school. Everybody interested in being part of the Gala/Calf Club day are welcome to attend. Any questions phone Nicky 09 236 8502.
