Kia ora everyone.
We are on the hunt for as many ice-cream containers (or other plastic containers) as we can get our hands on for the Year 7 & 8 cheese roll production that is happening this week. If you have a stash at home that you are happy to donate, please leave them outside the school hall either today or tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.
The less plastic we have to purchase, the better we can show we care for our environment. Thanks for helping us out!
We are two days out from our mammoth cheese roll production day. I have two final requests.
1. Volunteers to chop some onions on Wednesday evening and return these to school Thursday morning. Please click here if you can help.
2. Ice cream containers (or similar - suitable for packaging cheese rolls). If you have a stash at home that you are happy to donate, please leave these outside the hall foyer either today or on Wednesday, morning.
Many thanks!

Tomorrow is Lots of Socks and Purple Day. You can choose to wear purple, mismatched socks, or both!
Wearing purple will be raising awareness for people with Epilepsy and letting them know that they are not alone. Wearing mismatched socks will be raising awareness for people with Down Syndrome. So please join us by doing your part and bring a gold coin donation so we can support these organisations together.
Many thanks to everyone who has put in an order for cheese rolls. You still have time to place your order, as the form will close on Sunday evening. Please click here to order your tasty treats. Thanks for supporting Year 7 & 8 camp fundraising. Your cheese rolls will be made on the Thursday after Easter.

It has been great to see the children so organised for technology on Tuesdays by arriving at school by 8:30. Occasionally parents are dropping children directly to South Intermediate. The team at South have requested that our children all arrive together on the bus. We realise a small group needs to be dropped off after a band session. All children who do not arrive with the main group on the bus must check-in at the South office when they arrive.
Please keep those cheese roll orders coming in. We are up to 157 dozen and would love to hit at least 300 dozen. I have extended the due date for orders to this Sunday. We appreciate those of you who have made the extra effort by contacting people beyond your immediate family to gather orders. My fingers are crossed that there are still a few big orders to come in.
Many thanks to those who have offered to help with this fundraiser. We are still in need of support, especially for the morning session on our making day, Thursday April 8th, ordering supplies and loaning equipment - chopping boards and electric knives. Please fill in this form if you can help.
Every week we spend four short discussion-based sessions with the children on PB4L. What we focus on reflects the needs we identify within the group. We thought it would be helpful for you to be aware of what we are talking about so that you can back the messages up at home. Getting there together does make a big difference!
This week we have explored:
Flared trousers
Hoop skirts
Leg warmers
Fluro leotards
Other iconic clothing from any of the featured decades

| One of our PE options this term is ultimate frisbee. One aspect of this game that is particularly empowering is the self-refereeing by the teams as they play. |
