Hutt Central School Newsletter No 1 Term 4 15th October - 19th October 2018

Kia ora tatou,

Welcome back for Term 4! It is great to see everyone return to school for our last term of 2018 and

it promises to be action packed!

Shake Out

Today we joined the nation in a Shake Out to remind ourselves about what we do in an earthquake.

It was great to see how ‘automatic’ our students’ response is when asked to drop cover and hold!

Gala

We can confirm the final profit from our Twilight Gala on 21 September is $15,289.51. This will be

put towards our fund to provide safer matting under our playgrounds to keep our children safe.

Thank you for sharing the learning that we carried out last term and supporting the gala.

Firewood and Mulch

We have had the trees on the field ‘topped’ over the holidays. As a result we have firewood and

mulch which we are offering to our community for a donation. Please let the office know if you would

like to collect firewood and Mulch and we will contact you to organise pick up.

Sunhats

All students need to wear a hat at school for Term 4. Can you please ensure that your child has a

bucket hat, full brimmed hat or legionnaires hat to wear outside everyday. Students who do not

have a hat will be restricted to shady areas. We will have school hats available at the school office to

purchase for $15.00 each.

Kura Ahurea

Hutt Central School continues to work on the pilot of the ‘Kura Ahurea’ programme. The focus for

this term will be on introducing ourselves by name and where we live: Ko….(name)....au (I am….)

and ‘No…..(name of where you live).....au’ (I am from….).

The focus legend for this term will be about Tane and his three kete of knowledge.

We welcome all family members in joining us to learn and to use Te Reo.

Safety at drop off and pick up times

I have noticed and had reported a number of near misses at and around the main entrance to our

school and carpark. On Wednesday this week, one car backed out of our driveway and narrowly

missed hitting one of our children who was on their scooter.

Please aim to park on Victoria Street or Te Mome Road area and walk into school to pick up / drop

off your children. We all need to work together to keep our children safe and our carpark is not a

place to pick up and drop off your children.

Please ensure that you help your children to use the designated crossings when crossing Victoria

Street, Hutt Road and Railway Ave. This will support the messages we are working on with your

children about keeping themselves and others safe.

Please help your children to walk their bikes and scooters in the school grounds from 8:15 to

8:55am and 3:00pm to 3:30pm.

Reminder:

Monday 22 October is Labour Day and the school will be closed.

Today we took part in the New Zealand ShakeOut!

Signmee

There has been a great response to Signmee so far but some of you are missing out on information

and opportunities because you haven't completed the signup information.

If you need help to do this please talk to your child’s teacher or someone at the

school office.

It is important to read the notices carefully and ensure you sign them, and clicking

on the other information if it asks for it. e.g parent help, approval etc. The

system allows us to see who has viewed the information, and we have noticed

that in some cases the notices are being viewed but not signed.

Please make sure you see the red ‘signed’ stamp at the bottom before you log out.

Tennis Tournament

Congratulations to Ethan Nash, Nikhil Choudhury, Alex Thorn and Ethan

Brabant who represented Hutt Central School today.

School Sports Photos – Thursday 15th November

that they are wearing black shorts and sports shoes.

We will notify you when the photos will be available to purchase online for $15.00 each. We require parental consent as follows as part of the process. If your child in in one of the sports

team listed on the flyer with this newsletter and you do NOT agree to consent, please let us know

I consent that my child’s personal details (full name) be given to

INphotography which will be used to identify them in any group

photograph/s that they are associated to (including as an absentee if

relevant). The photograph works (including naming information) will be

published to an online gallery (password protected) to supply any ordering

party. I am aware that I may access INphotography’s complete privacy

Calendars, Cards, Diaries, Mouse Mats and Sketch Pads Everyone loves a souvenir of their child's art especially when a lot of time and effort has gone into the making of it. These items are always popular and make great gifts for family and friends as well as a keepsake of your child's art. This year your child's artwork will be on display in the school office foyer from the beginning of term four for two weeks only.
