Yummy apples are available from New World, PAK’nSAVE and participating Four Square stores.

A new collection sheet was sent home with the eldest child today. Please ask your child to return these sheets to the office as you complete them and pick up a new one. You can also download the sheets from http:www.yummyfruit.co.nz/schoolstickerpromo

Participating schools get a share of $200,000 worth of sports gear, depending on the number of stickers collected. The promotion ends at the end of Term 3 so please keep collecting.

8. Community Engagement Project

Cultural Focus Groups

As part of our Strategic Plan 2022, we are inviting you to be part of our Community Engagement Project. We are creating a series of beautiful panels to be placed at the front entrance of the school that represent the cultures of the people within our school community.

This project began in 2021 when we met with 7 of our school cultural groups. A big thank you to those groups who have already shared the special elements about their culture.

We plan to meet on Wednesday 22 June at 7:00 – 8:00 pm and would like to invite those of you who associate with the following cultural groups to join us in the staffroom:

Indian
South African
African
Irish
Scottish
Sri Lankan
British
Malaysian

You are welcome to bring extended family members who may be interested in supporting us in this creative project. It is a time to talk and share stories and ideas. No preparation required, just come and chat. You are welcome to bring your children along and we will provide some quiet activities to entertain them.
