Principal's Patch<\/h2>

Kia ora koutou<\/h3>Just a brief end of term message from us all here at school to wish you all a very relaxing and safe holiday break. Thank you all for the support you have given to staff over the past weeks as we prepare for the first of the BIG moves these holidays!
Today has been electric with excitement as even our New Entrants were spotted carrying boxes of their reading books over to their new learning space for Term 3. We have had parents in most of the last two weeks helping individual teachers as they move out, and the skip, emptied this morning, is almost certainly nearly full again this afternoon!

It was the last day of teaching and learning in our original verandah block today. Next term this building will be gutted and transformed into our library, admin area and staffroom.

Help needed in the holidays:<\/h4>We would love to have a small team of adult helpers to move on the morning of Tuesday 18th July from 9am.
If a couple of trailers were available that would be helpful too. We will be moving Hub 5\/6 from the west building into the east building, and Hubs 7, 8 & 9 also into the East building.
If we can get a team of 5 or so people, we should be able to have this done by midday. (No children please, as you will technically be going into the building site).
Please email me if you can help, so I know how many people we can rely on. Thanks principal@beckenham.school.nz<\/a>

The teachers are all heading away this afternoon for a very well-earned break. None of them will be in to school again until Wed 19th July, when they will be back to set up their new spaces.

Please remember that we have a Staff Only Day on Monday 24 July and school will begin on Tuesday 25th July. BOSCO will be open for bookings on that day. They are likely to fill up quickly, so if you haven't yet booked, contact Yvette manager@bosco.org.nz<\/a> as soon as possible.
