Talofa Lava Mr Godfery Yesterday the staff acknowledged Mr Godfery and wished him well as he starts his treatment for Cancer. He will be away from school while he recovers. I will be acting Principal while he is away. It will be ‘business as usual’ around here. We hope for a

speedy recovery and to have him back at school soon. Cookies Thanks to all the families who sold cookies. Our profit margin on these is so good. That is why we continue to do this as a major fundraiser. The cookie draw will be tomorrow. There are still a few people who haven’t paid for the cookies so if you want to be in the draw for the prizes please get it in before assembly tomorrow. REAL Values – Term 2 focus Our values of RESPECT, EXCELLENCE, ACTION, LEARNING. Are embedded into our school and all the things we do. We teach the students what these values are, and how they can use these in their everyday lives. At the moment we are focusing on - REAL kids are ready for learning. This means having the right gear, the right attitude and being prepared in the classroom. This includes remembering to bring togs for swimming. Paid Union Meeting On June 27 there is a paid union meeting for teachers at the Opera House. It will be in the afternoon and we will be closing the school at 12.30pm. More information will be coming home about this shortly. Head Lice We are getting quiet a few children presenting with Head lice here at school. We understand the frustrations with keeping headlice at bay. If you require some support/treatment please come and see us at school. School policy is if we see headlice on your child we have to send them home for treatment. Tea tree oil in shampoo is a good preventative, also brushing your child's hair daily helps to prevent them. Queens Birthday Holiday On Monday June 4 school is closed for Queens birthday. Enjoy the extra day off with your families. Go the highlanders!! Regards Mike and Staff

MOTHERS/PARENTS: Keen for your daughters to experience the art of ballet, gain self-confidence,

co-ordination, poise, musical awareness, also a great sense of enjoyment

through movement?? If so please contact Lorraine Fodie ph 434 6288 or 0220452 123

Have you moved here from another part of NZ or from overseas? If so, you may like to connect with the

Waitaki Newcomers Network. They will assist you with your settlement and help you meet other people

who are also new to town. Contact Christine on 0272428643 or 4347544. Friendly assistance is only a phone call away.

On Monday 28 May, 4 year 6 students represented Pembroke School at the National

young leaders day in Dunedin. They heard from inspiring new Zealanders about how to make a

difference, setting and achieving goals.

Can you help? We are always needing changes of clothes for when a child might have a accident at school—if you have any trousers or shorts/skirts that your child has grown

out of they would be much appreciated.

HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY LONG WEEKEND

Well Done Jade, Kirk, Rose and Hazel!!!

There are a few nasty bugs going around at school . If your child vomits please make sure that they are kept at home at least 48 hours after the last time they vomit. This should help any nasty bugs not to be passed on to other children. Encourage your child to wash their hands especially after going to the toilet and before eating.
