Principal's Patch<\/h2>

Kia ora koutou<\/h3>Next week is Te Wiki o Te Reo M\u0101ori (M\u0101ori language week). This year is extra special as the 14th of September marks the 50th anniversary of the M\u0101ori Language Petition. This event led to many of the kaupapa we have today, including Te Wiki o te Reo M\u0101ori.

E kore e mutu t\u0113nei mea te ako <\/b>\u2014 learning is always constant.<\/div>

Road Works Update<\/h3>
I'm sure that many of you have already seen the most recent works notice... Yes - it is going to be a long haul again, and, the residents of the whole area, along with the school, will benefit in the long run.<\/div>
They are installing a new water trunk main. The next stage of work will require the closure of Norwood St from Sandwich Road to Fisher Ave, from Monday next week, until mid-November.<\/div>

<\/div>
This will mean that you will need to take into account that Norwood St will be closed and make alternative plans if you are driving to school. <\/div>

<\/div>
PLEASE avoid doing u-turns and three-point-turns in Sandwich Road at drop-off and pick-up times... it really makes for very dangerous situations at these high traffic times.<\/div>

Citizen of the Week<\/h2>

Mathias Dougherty - Year 6<\/h3>Mathias, thank you for being such a reliable and conscientious member of our team. You are quick to offer a hand to help others and are the epitome of how we can contribute to help our school community be a better place for everybody. You are a shining example of someone who can always be trusted to be in the right place, at the right time, and be doing the right thing.  Tino pai rawa atu kia koe.<\/div>

School Notices<\/h2>

Kete Values<\/h3>We have been celebrating our values for the past few weeks and are getting ready to celebrate 'We make a Difference'<\/b>. Where students will work together to make a difference in the school environment and strive to create a cleaner and hopefully greener environment. 
<\/div>

If your child is away from school...<\/h3>
Please ALWAYS let the office know, rather than just the teacher. Teachers do not always have time to check their emails or text messages in the morning before they take the roll. You can do this by emailing office@beckenham.school.nz or by texting the school cellphone 021 027 94107<\/div>
Please ALWAYS give a reason why your child is away. If you tell us they are away but don't give any reason, we are required to mark their absence as 'explained, but unjustified'.<\/div>

Thank you all for your continued support. Getting clear and timely information from you when your child is away saves our office staff a lot of time.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>
