Together we learn, together we grow

Afternoon,

The weather doesn't look great for Wednesday next week and we cant use any other days after that as the field is already being used for Small Schools Athletics. So the decision has been made to have our school athletics on Monday (2nd November). Children are to coke to school in their house colours. If you can help with this event please email Jenna - jenna.mcdonald@rongotea.school

Also, next week on Friday is Gumboot Friday. Children are to come to school in mufti and if possible wearing their gumboots - Gold coin donation. We are very lucky that Gumboot Friday funds the first 4 sessions of counselling for each child that see Lynne. This makes it possible to have a counsellor on site every week. 

Thanks

Morning Whanau, 
Yesterday we had a conversation about students bringing toys into the classroom. This includes squishys and 3D printed things. I have explained to students that they are now banned in Team Huia. They are not to bring them into the classroom from now on. I don't mind if they are playing with them at morning tea and lunchtime but with bringing anything to school from home there is a risk of losing it or it getting broken. Please encourage students to keep toys at home, at school our learning comes first. 

Thanks for your support, 

Jess

Afternoon all,

We are having a wee look at the weather for next week, with our eyes on Wednesday's weather. Its not looking great for our Athletics Day. With that in mind we will be making the decision on Friday afternoon if we will move our Athletics Day from Wednesday the 4th to Monday the 2nd. Keep an eye out for our communication around this on Friday afternoon. 

Kia ora whānau,

Great news—our carpark is now open for use!

Please keep a few quick safety and operational updates in mind when using the space:

• Entrance Lip: There is currently a small lip on the concrete at the entrance. This will be levelled and sorted out soon, but please take extra care when driving over it for now.
• Parking Recommendation: To help traffic flow safely and easily, we recommend backing into your parking spots against the swimming pool wall, along the neighbour's wall, and down the back.
• Tamariki Safety: Please remind your tamariki that this entrance is active with moving vehicles. Remind them to stay alert and exercise caution when walking past the carpark entrance, just as they would at any driveway or crossing.

Thank you for your support in keeping our tamariki and community safe!
