Art Attack Information

Hi again 

We are looking forward to seeing you tonight at 5pm. The exhibition is also open for viewing after school tomorrow from 3-4pm. The silent bidding closes at 4pm on Thursday. If you are in the hall at 4pm tomorrow, you are able to pay for and take the art you have purchased away with you then.  Your child's teacher will give you a payment slip to take to the payment table with the amount owing. Once this is paid you can take this back to the teacher and take the art home. The same system will happen for the Silent Auction pieces. If you are not there tomorrow you can pay for the art in the office and collect it from the Staffroom next week Tues-Thurs between 2:30-3:30pm.

Class Placement for 2021

16 Oct 2020

In looking to 2021 we have started working on our school organisation including making up class lists. 

As part of the very complex class placement process teachers use their professional knowledge to consider the following points:

• compatibility of peers
• a balance of ability within a class
• a child's response to different teaching styles
• gender/culture balance within a class
• consideration of learning needs

If you have specific background information about your child please fill in the below form. We are not able to consider friendship requests.

Please return the form to Leanne Hanna in the office in an envelope by Tuesday 27th October 2020. We will not be able to consider submitted forms after the return date. An email confirmation will be sent to confirm that your form has been received.  It is vital that you contact the office if you do not receive a confirmation email. 

Unless confidentiality is requested, the information provided will be used by teams to form classes.

Back to School in Level 1

09 Oct 2020

Dear All,

We are really looking forward to the start of the new school term on Monday and operating under Level One. Important points to note for our school are:

• Lucy Foster gate will be open - Red Beach Road gate will continue to be closed owing to ongoing property works.
• Students must wait at the gates until the 8.30am bell.
• School day will start for all at 8.55am
• All students will be dismissed at 3pm
• We are still being asked to undertake contact tracing so all visitors on site  (including drop offs or pick ups) must sign in using the app or the register located at the office.

On Monday morning (straight after the class rolls have been taken) we will be having a powhiri for all families students and staff new to our school (including those whom owing to Covid restrictions have yet to be welcomed).

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

(Go the All Blacks!)

Ngā mihi,

Julie Hepburn
Principal
