Week 1 Term 4

Holidays have gone so fast.  I hope everyone has had an enjoyable time. 

Term 4 is going to be a busy time so please make sure you read the blog to help keep you informed with what is happening.  October is the month of the Rosary.

 

Uniform 

We  return to school in our summer uniform including the school blue bucket hat. Uniforms can be purchased from the uniform shop or online. They must be in full summer uniform and not a mix of summer and winter uniform.

Swimming

We start swimming in this term.  Children will need to bring their togs and goggles. Our swimming will be odd weeks so will start Monday at 9.45am  

   

Camp

Thank you to everyone who has returned the form.  If you have not returned the form yet, please return it on Monday.  I have had a great response with offers to help. I will be in touch soon with more information. 

Colour Fun Run

It is the final week to get sponsors. Please continue in getting sponsors.  If you haven’t made a profile yet, there is still time.  We can keep going right to Friday and then the fun will  begin. https://schoolfundraising.co.nz/  After the event the children will be able to order their prize online. Orders need to be done by 31 October.

Organisation of the Day

The Colour Run is finally upon us!! 

The students have done an AMAZING job fundraising and it is now in the final week for getting sponsors.  The colour run will take place this Friday afternoon the 21st October starting at 1.30pm

 

Students must wear old clothes for the run…they will be covered in coloured chalk by the end of it!  (Rest assured it does wash out). Please send a change of clothes and towel as there will be a water activity. They cannot use their sports uniform or their school uniform when taking part. 

We invite you all to come along and watch the fun unfold!

If you would like to be a parent helper on the day please let Brigitte Holmes know.  

brigitteh@stmarysrotorua.school.nz or text 0272121206.

The PTA helpers will be about but we will need more hands to help with safety, please volunteer if you can. 

TEACHER ONLY DAY:

We have a Teachers’ Only Day on Monday 7th November. There will be no school for children. If you require after-school care you can ring Maryanne Roling from Glenholme Afterschool Care. Mary Anne’s contact number is 347 0709 or 0211 215599

 

WORKING BEE.

We intend to have a working bee on the second Saturday after the holidays, October 29th. There are a number of jobs that need to be done. I really appreciate the support we get from you, so thank you in anticipation. Children are welcome and we will have a BBQ lunch.
