'Thank you' croissant & coffee morning Tuesday 10 December 8:30am<\/h2>
You are invited to our \"Thank you...\"<\/div>
There are many people within our school community who go the extra mile to help others and make our school the caring community that it is.  Many thanks to all those who recently made meals and baking for a school family who needed a bit of extra support, your kindness was truly appreciated. Thank you to the people who help with trips, being on the PTA, serving on the Board, baking days, book sorting, and many, many more varied activities around our school, that keep the school running and support our tamariki and our staff.<\/div>

<\/div>
As a small token of our appreciation as a staff, for the work that parents, grandmas, grandads, aunties, uncles, neighbours, friends and others in our community who do support us, we will be hosting  croissant and coffee on Tuesday December 10th in the staffroom from 8:30 - 9:15am.  We would love to see as many people as possible there.<\/div><\/div>

Sherrilee's farewell assembly Wednesday 11 December 9:30am<\/h2>
We have sadly received the resignation of Sherrilee as our Kaiako Te Reo Maori. Sherrilee has been on our staff for 25 years, and has made a huge contribution to our school through her teaching of te reo M\u0101ori, tikanga M\u0101ori and kapa haka. Sherrilee has been offered work in secondary schools which she is excited about taking up and we wish her all the very best for that.<\/div>
We will be holding a farewell assembly next Wednesday morning, from 9:30am. We are inviting past students of Te Wh\u0101nau Mahi Tahi to attend, along with our current wh\u0101nau.<\/div>
We would appreciate if parents of current students could bring along a small plate of food to contribute to the morning tea, as a way of contributing to the 'thank you'.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hut Day Monday 16 December<\/h2>
Due to 'Hut Day' being such a success last year, we have decided to give the children the opportunity to enjoy such a day again this year. <\/div>
Next week, the children will be given time to get into groups, plan what their hut will look like and what materials each child will need to bring to school.<\/div>
Suggested materials will be sheets, blankets, tarpaulins, pegs, tape, string, cushions, decorations, large boxes and any other supplies which can be easily carried to school.<\/div>
The materials are only to be brought to school on Monday 16 December, as we do not have the storage facility to keep them at school. All materials brought to school will need to be returned home at the end of the day, to ensure we are looking after our environment.<\/div>
