Kauri Whānau: Year 8 Yearbook
Kia ora,
No doubt you are finding it hard to believe that your Year 8 youngster has only 8 and a half weeks of primary / intermediate education left! As part of our farewell, we put together a yearbook with photos and memories for the Year 8s to treasure. To do this we need your help.
1. Can you please email me (nicky.dunlop@beckenham.school.nz) a photo of your child when they started school. This can either be an 'at / going to school' photo or any photo of them as a 5-year-old. If you cannot email a photo, please send in the hard copy next week and I will scan and return it the same day. I'd love these pics ASAP.
2. Talk with your child about the memory they might write about (a Beckenham memory from the past 8 years) at school next week. They also need to choose a friend and a teacher who they would like to write a memory about them.

Kōwhai News Term 3 Week 10
Kia ora whānau,
What a whirlwind of a term! We are so proud of how our tamariki managed themselves this term, coping with changes in various levels and heading back into online learning. It has been a lovely couple of weeks back in the hub to end the term. Next term is a shorter term with lots of events, such as Athletics. We will send out information around these as they come up.
Term 4
Next term is a summer term so the students will need to bring their hats back to school for play. Please remind them of this.
Next term the home groups will be moving spaces.
The new spaces will be as follows:
Nick - The Nook
Quynh - The Theatre
Meagan - The Breakout space
Laura - The Pathway
Rowe - The Atrium
Term 4 will start on Monday the 18th of October.
Here are a selection of photos from Term 3.
We hope you have a relaxing holiday, and keep safe and happy.
The Kōwhai Team - Laura, Nick, Rowe, Quynh and Meagan
