The Seniors Sports Reward Day at the Aquatic Centre last week

Tena koutou katoa Dear Students, Parents/Caregivers and Community. Congratulations to the 11 students with 100% attendance for the whole year. We have ended up on average with 94% attendance for all students for this year. A big thanks. Last Friday you should have received

your child's formal end of year report. We try really hard to be accurate with the reports, however if you feel there are mistakes please see the classroom teacher. These were enveloped to caregivers and had information about the reports and a quick survey. If you could please fill out the survey and get back to school by tomorrow that would be great. Every child who gets them back will get their end of year present. Next year we welcome back Leeanne Skudder as our Year 3/4 teacher, until Vicky Muers returns in term 3 after her maternity leave. I would like to thank everyone who has been involved with making our school so fantastic. We do really appreciate help, support and donations throughout the year. There would be too many people to thank individually, however as the saying goes “It takes a whole village to raise a child”. If you have helped out in any way please come along to the morning tea tomorrow. We farewell some fantastic families as their youngest children are heading off to High School next year. Each family have helped in different ways, with a special mention to Karen Reed for her work with Home and School over the years and Dave and Clare Beuth for their amazing support with BOT, Sports committees, literacy and the library. I wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas and I will see some of you at the swimming pool, courts, skate park or around the community. Ngā mihi nui, Gary Veysi
