Term 4 - Week 6

Kia Ora whanau.

Welcome to week 6 of our 9 week Term. They certainly are flying by!

A big thank you to our fabulous caretaker Darren who has our pool up and running. Soo lucky to have a school pool! Please send named togs and towels in a tog bag to school daily. We only go if the outside temperature is 16 degrees or above. Initially, we focus on safe entry and exit of the school pool, gaining water confidence, and moving in different ways through the water.

Our official times are:

Tania and Tina- Tuesday/Friday 

Vanessa and Sue- Monday/Wednesday

Even though these are official times the kids can bring their togs and towels each day just in case there is a free-swimming slot.

The school pool will be open to use outside of school hours for families that purchase a pool key from this Friday 19th November. 

A big thank you to Darren who has been working hard to get the pool and surrounding areas up and running in preparation for this! It is expected that the pool will be open until  March 2022.  

Pool keys can be purchased from the school office during school hours.  

There are two options. 

Option 1: the pool key cost is $110 or Option 2:  The pool key costs $75 and your family does two nights of putting the pool cover on and a  quick clean up of the pool area. You choose the two consecutive nights when you purchase your key. Both options include a $20 deposit which is refunded to you when your pool key is returned at the end of the season.  

Please note: Outside of school hours the school is not a school so people using the pool do not need to be vaccinated.

Interviews-Finishing early

Students go home at 2pm on the Wednesdays, 1 & 8 December. Please let your Ora teacher know if you are unable to pick up your child at this time.

We will be in contact with you if your child is having an interview. More details, including how to book will be out this week from Mike.

Hats/sunscreen

There are some children still without a hat. Please make sure that your child has a sunhat at school. If they haven't got one then they will be asked by the duty teacher to play in a designated area. It would also be helpful if you could apply sunscreen to your child each morning and we can top it up at the beginning of lunch.

Uniform Sale-

Due to current restrictions, we are needing to be creative with our next sale. So please pop SUNDAY 28th November in your diary and come along and stock up for next year! The shop will be in the hall.
