Principal's Patch<\/h2>

Kia ora koutou<\/h3>

A reminder that tomorrow, Friday the 12th of August is a Staff Only Day and school is closed to students.<\/span><\/h3><\/div>

Readathon Reminder - please bring $$$ in next week<\/span><\/h3>

Book Character Day next Friday<\/span><\/h3>
Hope that everyone is enjoying getting their reading done for the 2nd week of the Readathon. Please remember to start bringing money back next week. Next Friday is Book Character Day so get your thinking hats on to see how you can represent a book or a book character by dressing differently! We all look forward to the wonderful different ways that children choose to represent their favourite characters, and we all have a lot of fun trying to guess who they are!<\/span><\/div>

Strum Strike Blow<\/span><\/h3>
Excitement was high at the Chch Arena last night at the annual musical celebration, \"Strum, Strike' Blow\" with around 1200 Canterbury Primary-aged children rehearsing and performing on marimbas, ukuleles and recorders. Incredibly proud of our tamariki who took part with such joy and enthusiasm. Huge thanks to Roger Hamilton (ukulele) and Jody Stanford (recorder) who coached the students and supported them to get there.<\/span><\/div>

School Notices<\/h2><\/div>

Reporting Of Absences<\/h3>
When your child is absent from school please contact the office in the first instance.<\/b> It is not enough to inform their teacher. <\/b>A home group teacher is not always the one who will mark their home group roll  - this can be for a number of reasons e.g. teacher is unwell, on a training course off-site, onsite but engaged in other work, and their home group is being taught by a reliever. Teaching staff are also not always able to read all of their emails prior to the commencement of the school day, so your email may remain unread until well after the roll has been taken.<\/div>

<\/div>
Please always let the office know first when your child is absent so that we can quickly ascertain who is present and who is absent on any given day.

A reminder of ways to contact the Office to report an absence<\/b><\/a>:

Phone:<\/b> (03) 337-1404<\/div>
(Press 1 to leave an absence message)<\/i><\/div>
Text Message:<\/b> 021 027 94107<\/div>
Email: <\/b>office@beckenham.school.nz<\/div><\/div><\/div>
