Olympic Performance Tonight

We are really excited to be sharing our Olympic learning with you tonight at the Kowhai Team's Celebration of Learning.

The children need to be in their home rooms from 5.30pm- 5.45pm to enable them to have time to get ready for the show. This will also provide you time to get a premium seat in the hall. As BOSCO is using the hall foyer, entry to the hall will be via the hall doors on the Junior side of the hall. We will have programmes for you to read prior to the performance to help you understand the meaning behind each of the dances. Please remember to bring along a gold coin donation for each person attending the performance. We are aiming to start at 6pm sharp and the performance is approximately 50 minutes.

The feedback we have had so far have included:
"The dancing and music was awesome. It was so entertaining!" Isla Year 7
"Was I just dreaming? That was so good!" Dartanyan Year 1
"I was astonishd at how professional the dancing and costumes were. It was simply incredible." Oskar Year 8

Market Day

The students in Team Pōhutukawa have been working hard to develop products and stalls for our Asian-inspired market day. The market will be open on Thursday, 15 September from 11:00 to 12:00 on the court by Hub 21/22. If the weather is poor, the market will open in the hall instead.

The Pōhutukawa students will be selling lots of interesting (and delicious) items such as Asian food, baking, confectionery, drinks, games, challenges and more. Students should still bring their lunch as normal on this day.

Market day vouchers will be sold before school near the flagpole on Thursday morning. The vouchers will be used as currency to purchase goods at the market. Most items at the market will cost between one and three dollars.

As many Year 8 students will be involved in Cashmere testing on Thursday, we will also be offering a special presale for Year 8 students on Wednesday so that they will not miss out.

The money raised will be used to reduce the cost of Team Pōhutukawa's camp in Term 4 and to offset the market day's expenses.

Mufti Day Tomorrow

Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow we will be having a mufti day to raise money for a local girl called Maddie Collins. Maddie needs to fundraise $350,000 for a vital kidney transplant. Maddie has family that once attended Beckenham School so it is really special that we can show we care by all bringing along a gold coin tomorrow to support Maddie and her family during this challenging time.

Tomorrow, Tuesday 13th September, we are having our matinee performance for any parents or family members who are unable to attend the evening performance on Wednesday. The matinee is from 11.30 -12.30pm in the school hall.

Below are the details for the evening performance on Wednesday night. We need to have the children at school and in their home rooms before 5.45pm. This will enable the children to have time to get ready before the performance begins at 6pm. 
Many thanks.
