We have made it to the last week! It's been a busy term and we have just started planning for an exciting term 3, which will be our last term based here at Champion Street. Please check the important messages below.

Cheese Rolls:

We had an awesome start to our cheese roll production last week. Many thanks to those who have loaned us equipment and to Kim, Tamsin and Nicola who helped out. The children were fabulous; we were really impressed with their work ethic and enthusiasm. Tomorrow is our last production day. Those who have ordered cheese rolls will receive these tomorrow. We look forward to welcoming Melisa, Richelle, Sonja and Amanda to help us out.

40 Hour Famine:

Jarred is chasing up outstanding 40 Hour Famine packs. Even if your child signed up for the Famine, but did not do it, they still need to return their pack / booklet. Please get these back by this Thursday at the latest.

Showcase:

Many thanks to the parents who have offered to help with set up and pack down of the Hillview gym. We are expecting Jane, Sabine, George and Charmaine at Hillview at 3:15pm, and Jane, Mary, Charmaine, Phil, Nerm and Rich to help after the show.

Children need to be at Hillview by 6:40 on Thursday. They need to arrive in their black base, ready for J-Rock. If they are performing in the band or choir, they will need their school uniform as well. Te Whanau Mahi Tahi will also have their kapa haka outfit. The children know where to put their clothing changes and where to report to when they arrive. All school ambassadors will be part of the comparing team. These children should be practicing their introductions at home.

Te Whānau Mahi Tahi:

TWMT will be spending Thursday at Beckenham to prepare for the cultural festival. They are to report to the BOSCO rooms, (old Room 8 and 9) when they arrive at school.

School Reports:

These will be coming home on Friday with your child.

Ski Day:

Our ski day takes place on the Thursday of week 4 next term, August 17th. Please click this link for information about the day, cost and required clothing. We would like this form to be filled in by the end of the holidays, so that we can ensure all children have the equipment they will require for a great day in the snow.

Take a break for sandwich making this Friday. The PTA are putting on a sausage sizzle at Champion Street only. $2 per sausage.

The link I put up a week ago, asking for help to set up and pack away at Hillview this coming Thursday, wasn't working, but has now been fixed. Please click this link to let us know if you can help.

The end of term is in sight, however we are still full steam ahead in the Year 7 & 8 hub.

Cheese Rolls:

Orders have closed and we now have 300 dozen cheese rolls to make and package over two separate days. This will be a great learning experience for the children. They will be working in 45 minute shifts, with classroom learning and PE happening in their off shifts. Our first making day is this Thursday and the second is next Wednesday. It would be helpful if the children could bring an apron on these days, if they have one. We are also in need of used supermarket bags to help with the distribution of orders. Please send what you can spare along to school tomorrow. If you have volunteered to help, could you please arrive at Champion Street by 8:45am, with your apron and a set of measuring spoons.

Showcase:

We are expecting all Year 7 & 8 children to be at our Yr 5-8 Showcase evening on Thursday July 6th, starting at 7pm in the Hillview gym on Wilsons Rd. This will be a chance for us to share our J-Rock performance. The choir, some of the band and Te Whanau Mahi Tahi will also perform. This will also be an opportunity to present citizen of the week certificates, Gold leadership awards and a very special leadership award. We need a team of adults to help set up and put away carpet tiles and seats. If you are able to help with this, please click this link to fill in the quick form.

Cheese roll orders close at the end of tomorrow, Thursday. Many thanks to the 76 families who have ordered. If you still intend to do so, please click on this link before 8pm on Thursday. Profits from this week's orders are all going towards the development of our outdoor spaces.
