WEEKLY NOTICES AND REMINDERS

Kia Ora Whanau, Wow! Our year 6's had the most incredible experience away in Auckland this week. A huge shoutout to Mrs Hartley and Mrs Derham for all their hard work putting together such a fabulous time for the school's Rangatira (leaders). Super exciting to see such huge grins, as some of them mas-tered skiing at Snow Planet, for the first time, and for others, touching snow for the first time. Just brilliant. Our heartfelt thanks to the parents who were able to come along and support our children during the camp, taking time off and driving us all around Auckland! Thanks to Mrs Matautia for taking our year 4 and 5's to the Tackle tournament on Wednesday. For most of the children, it was their first time attending the tournament and a big, but enjoyable learning experience - great job team! Next week is looking full and fabulous! If your child is competing in the Cluster Cross-country, on Tuesday, you would've received a letter with all the info required. We look forward to seeing you cheering on side-lines! Matariki Concert is on Wednesday. This is a great opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate. We would love as many children as possible to be on stage, so if you are free and would like your child to participate - please bring them to College at 5pm on Wednesday, in their school uniform. We are meeting in B9. Please return your permission slip as soon as possible. Have a wonderful weekend! Hopefully the sun will be out. Nga mihi. Briar
