After School Care
Please ensure you notify the school of any changes to your After
School Care booking by midday on the day of booking. If we have
over a certain number of children, we have to bring someone else in
to help and this cost us. It is not feasible if we don’t have
enough children to cover this cost. The best way to communicate is
to email what days your child needs this service at the beginning
of each week.
Reminder—School Gate
PLEASE DO NOT USE THE FRONT GATE WHEN DROPPING OFF AND PICKING
UP YOUR CHILDREN.
We have had a couple of near misses with children stepping on to
the road when cars are going past. It is an open speed limit on
this stretch of road and although we have contacted council in the
past, they were not able to do anything about it. We are in contact
with them again to try to find a resolution to this problem. So in
the mean-time, please use the designated car park to drop off in
the morning and in the afternoon for pick up too.
School Tee Shirts
Please have a search at home and send back any school tee shirts
you have. We know the Year 7 and 8 students have been borrowing
school tee shirts on Monday to wear to tech because they have
forgotten their own. Please remind them to bring their own and
bring back the ones they have borrowed. If you want to buy your
child/children a tee shirt of their own, please contact the school
office and we can order them for you.
Name Your Childs Clothing
This is a timely reminder to name your child’s / children’s
clothing. We find sweatshirts and other layers of clothing left in
the playground and don’t know who they belong to because they are
not named and for some reason the children do not seem to know what
belongs to them. Last term we had so much left here with no
names.
The Yummy Apple Sticker
This promotion has kicked off again for this year, so a good
time to remind everyone to collect Yummy stickers and bag cut-outs.
This will be the 22
nd year we have
been running this promotion and we have another $200,000 of
sports gear for schools. Stickers are due in at the end of Term 3
(Friday 27 September), I will send out a reminder closer to the
time. Meanwhile crunch on some Yummy apples, they have around ten
different varieties of apples available at the moment, with a
couple more on their way

If you would like to enroll your child/children in ASCC, please
contact the office for an enrolment form. This service is available
from 3pm to 5.30pm Monday to Fri-day. It is OSCAR subsidized, so if
you are eligible, you can apply to WINZ for a subsidy. Forms are
available at the school office. The cost per session is now $7.00.
Session 1 runs from 3.00pm to 4.15pm and Session 2 runs from 4.15pm

is having a day off from After School Care Club, please phone the
school office to inform us. Our ASCC leader is Mary– Rose
Olson.
Playgroup On Tuesday morning from 9am to 11.30 a group of
parents meet in the newly refurbished whanau room with their pre
schoolers. There is quite an array of equipment and the children
are welcome to use the school grounds for play. Everyone is welcome
to join the group. It is a wonderful way to get your child used to
school before they start at 5 years old.
If you would like any further information please con-tact the
school office or just turn up on the day.
We would love some new children to come along and enjoy our
lovely new space with us.
