Dear
Parents / Caregivers
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou
Thank
you parents/caregivers for coming along to your child’s
mid year conference last week. Research tells us that
children are more likely to succeed in their education
and in their future, when they, their teacher and their
families work as a team to support their learning. Your
child should have brought home their written conference
reports yesterday. Please ask for them if you have not
received them.
Enjoy
your week, Jacinta Cousins
, Principal
"
Kindness "
Kindness
is showing you care, doing some good to make
life better for others.
It is being thoughtful about people’s
needs. Kindness
is showing love and compassion to someone
who is sad or needs your help. Kindness
is treating yourself and others gently.
It is caring about the earth and all living
things.
We
practise Kindness
when we: give
tender attention to someone who is sad or
needs help do
things to give others happiness accept
people who are different resist
the temptation to be cruel

Today
I was setting up the church. I went into the quiet
sanctuary to pray for the people in war. Then
I went to the King. King Kyle that is. I told
him to be a more loving King.

- Subsidy towards Freyberg Magic swimming lessons
- Bus fare to Rangitane Park for school cross country
- Hook ins for each inquiry unit
- Leading Lights treats twice a term

This would equate to at least $30 per child so far
this year.
An account will come home tomorrow with outstanding
money owing.

Phone
lists and order forms are coming home this week for those
of you who kindly volunteered to ring for fertiliser orders.
We also will send home the pamphlets for the letter box
deliveries. Thank you for offering to help with this one
of our major fundraisers each year.
We still haven’t got nearly enough people to help
deliver fertiliser on August 14. Even one trailer or truck
load would be great. You don’t even need a car or
trailer - we just need YOU!!!
