Welcome back Kakano 1, 2 and 3 whanau. We are looking forward to an exciting term with you. We hope you’ve had a fun and relaxing holiday, and are ready to hit the ground running. There’s certainly a lot to keep us busy this term.
There are a lot of notices for the start of term…
School Starts at 8:45am - please ensure your child is here before this time
School finishes at 3:00pm for all students - except bus students who leave class at 2:50pm.
Summer Uniform
All children are expected to be in their summer uniforms from tomorrow. Girls - remember to take your nail polish off tonight and if your hair is shoulder length, or longer, it needs to be tied back. Our Uniform Shop is open Mondays (8.30-9.00am), Wednesdays (2.30-3.00pm) & Fridays (8.30-9.00am) during term time. The girls’ summer dresses are currently only available from our school uniform shop. Please don’t forget children need to wear the school sun hats in term 4.
We also sell school uniforms via our school website. You can order and pay online and pick up your uniform from the school reception after you have been notified by email that the uniform is ready to pick up. Hopefully this will be easier for those parents who find it difficult to get to our uniform shop.
HATS - ARE COMPULSORY THIS TERM
No hat = No play. Please, please, please ensure your child’s hat is clearly named.
Swimming
We are all swimming this term - week on, week off. Unless you have a medical note to explain why you are not swimming, please bring your togs, towel and a bag to put them in, everyday in the weeks that your class is on.
Kakano 3 - you are swimming this week.
Kakano 1 & 2 - even weeks (2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
Kakano 3 - odd weeks (1, 3, 5, 7, 9)
Holiday Reading Logs
Remember to return these to school by this THURSDAY (15th) to be in the draw at assembly on Friday. Those classes that have 90% or more of children returning their draws go into a pizza lunch draw. If you have misplaced your reading log form simply write your name and room number on a piece of paper, add the books you’ve read and bring it back to school.
School Production - Peter Pan
This is scheduled to take place in week 9 this term - further details to come as the term goes on for dates/times/ticket prices. At this stage Kakano 1, 2 and 3 are doing their performance on Tuesday 8th December. There is a matinee and an evening show. The remaining Kakano classes will have their performance on Wednesday 9th December. All classes are involved in the production and we begin practicing our dances this week.
The Month of the Rosary
October is the month of the Rosary and for the next three weeks each area of the school will lead us in a different Rosary Mystery. The junior school will be doing this in week 3 on Thursday 29th October at 9am in the school hall. You are most welcome to join us. We’ll send out a reminder closer to the time.
Working Bee - from Mr Macmillan
We intend to have a working bee on the third Saturday after the holidays, October 31st. There are a number of jobs that need to be done. I am always amazed at the support we get from you, so thank you in anticipation. Children are welcome and we will have a BBQ lunch.
Kapa Haka & The Primary Schools Festival (Ahurei)
Kapa Haka is back on for years 2-6. Anyone who is interested in doing Kapa Haka is welcome to give it a go on Thursday afternoon at school. The Ahurei performers will be chosen and from week 2 only these children will attend Kapa Haka for the remainder of the term so they can practice for their performance in week 8.
