ENROLMENTS

We are currently looking at our projected roll growth for the future and need to know of any pre-schoolers that are due to start school here at Pukehamoamoa in 2015 and 2016. Younger siblings, neighbours, friends or relations. If you know of anyone could you please

contact the office with names and if possible birthdates. This is vital for us to help with the drive

for our new roll growth classroom.

PONY CLUB

Meeting for those interested in a casual horse riding group for all ages. There is renewed interest around the RD 9 area for a pony club or riding group of some sort. If anyone would be interested in meeting others that are keen to have a chat about the possibility of

setting something up, please come along to the Waiwhare Community Centre on Friday 4th April @ 7:30pm for a very casual meeting. It is really more to gauge the interest out there to see if it is worth

looking into further. Feel free to contact Laura—874 2966.

GIRLS JUNIOR NETBALL (Tiny Ferns) POD: Anita Nuñez-Lowe

Today is Rebecca Traffords last day with us as she starts maternity leave tomorrow. We all wish her the very best for the exciting new adventure her and Paul are starting and can‟t wait to meet their new arrival

due April 17th. And a warm welcome to Jenny Pyatt who starts with us tomorrow taking over from Rebecca in Matapiro. It‟s been great to have such a smooth transition with Jenny being able to spend some time with the class

over the last few weeks.

Assembly this week—Matapiro

IMMUNISATION STATUS OF CHILDREN

Our school keeps a record of each child‟s

immunisation status from school entry. This is

done in case of disease outbreak and allows

appropriate follow up of illness in our community.

It has become apparent that there are gaps in this

information for some of our students. Where this

affects your child we will be contacting you and

requesting further information. Thank you for your

support with this. For more information please

contact Jennie at the school office or our Public

Health Nurse Karyn Cardno ph: 879 9440.

A big thank you to those parents who have

responded promptly, we really appreciate your

efforts!!
