School Water
We are unable to drink our school water at the moment, so can you please make sure your child brings a
bottle of water to school each day. This will be for the next week.
Our community is our classroom and we are teaming up with the Carlyle
Women’s Institute for our new programme NEXT GEN - learning a skill and
building intergenerational relationships in our community.
Thank you Rose Cowley and the Carlyle Women’s Institute for your time.
Brain Break
At 10 am every morning we have our Brain Break. This is when our learners
choose some “Brain Food” from their lunches. Can you please ensure the
lunch boxes have some brain food included - this needs to be a piece of fruit
or vegetable.
Touch
We have had a fantastic response for our touch teams and will be entering three teams! Numbers are slightly
lower in our year 1 & 2 team so strong commitment is necessary. Thank you to our coaches.
On 26 June we had our first official meeting, we covered many areas. Of note was the discussion of the school
wide data for 2019 which analysed our students’ performance in three areas - reading, mathematics and writing.
Data was compared to the previous year, however it was noted that 50% of our roll had changed since then so it
was difficult to compare accurately. In saying that some valuable learning’s were identified and the teaching staff
and board were able to help pinpoint areas requiring focus.
Last week our board members attended a NZSTA Governance Essentials course which talked us through our
responsibilities, expectations, frameworks, priority groups of learners and key documentation.
Pet Day
Our annual Pet Day is on Tuesday 17th September. As
we said in the last newsletter we will not be having
calves this year. The Board have made more enquiries
around this, and are still being advised that we should
not have them. The risks are still too high, and the
logistics around it would be far too complicated. We appreciate your understanding around this, and look
forward to seeing your lambs or pet.
Raffle
We are very fortunate to have had half a beast donated from Andrew and Alison Hurley for a raffle.This will
be beautiful meat that will fill your freezer. Each family will receive 5 tickets to sell ($5 each). If you would like
more tickets please contact the school office. Many thanks to the Hurleys for this generous donation.
