Newsletter 2 Term 4 – Friday 04 November 2022

Kia Ora Koutou

Busy, busy,busy.  You should be very proud of your tamariki in the way that they are conducting themselves while we are practicing for the Cultural Festival and our end of year production, because I am.

In regard to swimming I have kept our Tuesday booking at the Whangaroa Pool but at present we still can only transport all children on 22 November. On the 8th and 29th November, 6 and 13 December we are short by at least 3 cars.  We did not have the problem with transport at the beginning of the year as we had only about 18 tamariki to transport but now we have 28.  Please let me know if you can help on any of the above days.

Next week I will send out an order form for those who wish to purchase a hangi for $15 at the Cultural Festival.  This will needed to be returned with the money by Wednesday 09 November.
