A reminder that Go4It our Sports Bay of Plenty run children’s sports skills programme is on every Wednesday. The time may change every week as we try to give all Middle School classes a go at different times of the day. Could children please have PE gear if possible on Wednesdays.



Back by popular demand - the Healthy Lunchbox Challenge.  We will start collecting junk mail for this task. Can children bring in any junk mail not needed from home to do with food. Thanks a bundle.




Olympic Ambassador, Heelan Tompkins, will visit and present at St Mary’s School in the hall to middle and senior school students on Thursday August 3rd, at 9:30am.





Reading logs are due on Friday.
The draw for the Holiday reading will take place on Friday: The prizes this time are: UE Boom, 2 walkie talkies and lots of other little prizes. If children read 7 books they will also get a pizza voucher from Hell’s Pizza. The top class of children participating will also get a pizza lunch. We will work that out on the percentage of children participating.




The ICAS English exam is on Tuesday 1st August at 9am in the enrichment room for those middle school children who signed up.


On Wednesday 7th August at 7.00pm there is an Internet Safety presentation at JPC for all interested parents and caregivers. Please see the link below for details.


NMSSA team Bridget Broadhurst and Sue Oakley will be testing some of our Year 3&4 students this week for PE. If your child has been asked to bring PE gear this week, this is the reason.

Please remember our refocus on children using their school Google account for learning purposes only at all times. If children are permitted to go on games or look at videos at home they must be logged in with a home login set up by a parent or caregiver. Children will lose chromebook privileges this term if they are found to be ignoring this rule. We will be having regular history checks and a deleted history will be a sign of trying to hide something. We can track deleted histories as well.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SOON..AND HAVE A GRAND WEEK!
