Market Day<\/b><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
On Friday, 21 September, the students in Team P\u014dhutukawa will be running a market in the school hall to conclude our small businesses unit. The market will be open to all students and families from 11:45 AM to 12:40 PM. At the market, the P\u014dhutukawa students will be selling lots of interesting (and delicious) items such as baking, confectionery, drinks, games, challenges and more. Students should still bring their lunch as normal on this day. Market day vouchers will be sold near the hall entrance before school on Friday morning. Each voucher is worth 50 cents and will be used as currency to purchase goods at the market. Most items at the market will cost between 50 cents and five dollars.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>The money raised will be used to reduce the cost of Team P\u014dhutukawa\u2019s camp in Term 4 and to offset the market day\u2019s expenses. Thank you for your support of your child\/ren with this venture. They have been working hard with the process of making the product\/activity, and are very much looking forward to the big day. If you have any questions about the market day please feel free to contact one of us. <\/span><\/div>

Term 4 Camp at Living Springs<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>
<\/b>
Planning is well underway for Team P\u014dhutukawa's Term 4 camp at Living Springs (13 - 15 November, week 5). Living Springs is a self-contained complex where the children stay in comfortable and clean bunk rooms with attached ablution blocks. Parent helpers stay in the Harbour View Conference Centre or, if on bunk room supervision duty, in an adult bunk room (sharing) adjoining the children's bunkrooms.<\/span><\/div>

<\/div>
If you are able to be a parent helper at the camp, please complete the online form (<\/span>https:\/\/goo.gl\/forms\/xI7pk5nKsKo9KyMb2<\/span><\/a>) by Friday, 21 September. We require the help of approximately 16 parents if the camp is to go ahead. If you are able to help, your role will involve direct supervision of groups of children; inside\/outside activities, evening bunk room duty, setting tables, serving meals, operating the dishwasher, helping with the cleaning of all areas used at the end of the stay. You will need to be able to stay the entire camp. As the cost of parent helpers is covered in the camp fee, we will only take the necessary number of parent helpers in order to minimise costs. If we have more volunteers than we need, we will select first based on the skills needed and then names will be drawn from a ballot.<\/span><\/div>
  <\/div>
A consent form and medical questionnaire will be sent home in Term 4 to students and parent helpers.<\/span><\/div>

<\/div>
The camp costs us $155 per child to run and this includes food, accommodation, the cost of the programmes run by the Living Springs staff and transport. Your next statement (due out at the end of Term 3) will have a request for contribution for $155. You are welcome to make payments either in full or by instalment at any time. Please don't hesitate to contact your child's teacher or <\/span>Vicki Renwick (Financial Officer)<\/span> in the office, if payment will be difficult for you. Any funds raised prior to camp, including our Term 3 Market Day, will be shared evenly across the team and will appear as a credit on the Term 4 statement.<\/span><\/div>

<\/div>
We are looking forward to a great camp.<\/span><\/div>
