FERTILISER DRIVE – Saturday 27th August 2022 (8am-noon).

Good morning.

Thank you to all the wonderful people who have offered to help run our annual fund raiser – you are all very much appreciated.  This year the funds raised will be going towards new basketball hoops for the school courts.

We need just a few more wonderful volunteers to help make this annual event a success!

We need a few more volunteers to phone our previous customers and record their orders for this year.

We also need someone who has access to a truck to pick up our bulk order of Fertiliser Bags from our supplier in Feilding – last year this was 4 pellets which is approximately 400 bags.  This needs to be picked up the afternoon of 26th August and brought back to school to be unloaded ready for deliveries on the morning of the 27th August.  Please let us know if this is something you can help us with.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Blessings for your day.

Welcome to Term 3 – we hope you have all had a fabulous break.

The Ministry of Education has asked that all children from Year 4 upwards wear a mask for the health and wellbeing of all. This is initially for the first four weeks of the term. We have spare masks here at school should your child require one. Further information will come out in the newsletter tomorrow. We ask that by Wednesday, those children who are able, to please wear a mask to keep our school well and healthy.

CROSS COUNTRY CANCELLED FOR NOW

After much discussion, we have decided to cancel the Cross Country that was planned for Thursday. With approximately a third of our children away due to illness and working with minimal staff we can not run this event safely. We hope to be able to run this or something similar later in the term when we have got through this latest episode of sickness in the school. Thank you also to those who offered to help on the day – it was wonderful to have all your support. We will call on you again when we have another plan in place.

Talofa families, we hope your day has gone well. It is certainly getting colder and wetter out there.

We are just letting you know we have a lot of illness at school at the moment with over 50 children and teachers away with various illnesses – Covid, a virus with headaches including temperatures and aches as well as some with a tummy bug. We thank you for your support and know we are doing everything we can to minimise the spread. We ask that you keep your child at home if they are unwell as we work to get on top of this.

Go gently, stay warm
