Oroua Athletics
Thank you to all parents who transported their children to Feilding last Friday. A real shame these sports had to be cancelled which was a tough call to make - hope for better luck next year! Nonetheless, it was great to see just how committed our students were to training this year and the skills developed.
Board of Trustees Meeting
A reminder that this meeting is tonight (Monday the 10th), starting at 7.30pm in the school staff room. This will be the last Board meeting for 2012. Please view the agenda and the previous meeting minutes by clicking on the BOT tab at the top of the newsletter. All members of the public are welcome to attend.
School Assembly - Friday 14th December
Our final assembly of the year will be held this Friday in the senior room. We will have a short meeting to look at 2013 camp options at 1.30, followed by the assembly at approximately 1.50. All community members, friends and family are most welcome to come along and we look forward to seeing you all here.
Kiwitea School Concert
We have been invited to the Kiwitea School Concert dress rehearsal next Monday, the 17th of December. We will need to leave Apiti School by 12.45 as the concert starts at 1.15p.m. We will be back in time for the bus run.
We will need transport to and from Kiwitea for this, so please let Mary or Nicki know a.s.a.p if you can help out. Parents are welcome to stay for the concert, and if need be, can continue on in to town afterwards.
School Photos
These were
taken recently by Svendson Photography. The link will be updated on the blog as soon as we receive it from Svendsons which should be by tomorrow.
All orders must
be directed through Svendson Photography please.
Triathlon options for 2013
This is a great opportunity for our students to challenge themselves and see their improvement. These events provide an excellent build up for the Oroua triathlon. If enough students are keen, either individually or as a team, we should be able to organise car pooling for children and bikes. Please let Nicki know if you are keen. There is a prize for the school with the highest proportion of their school involved.
Please see the website for more details.

School Bus
Thank you
Yvonne and Mervyn for a wonderful job done as our school bus driver having delivered our
school bus students safely to school and back home again and for driving the
bus on a few occasions to other destinations e.g Kimbolton, for Oroua group
activities. The school staff, B.O.T and parents have certainly appreciated your
safety conscious skills.
Thanks also to Katherine for stepping in to drive the bus to help Yvonne and Merv out recently.
Healthy Lunches
These will continue for this Wednesday and then finally on Monday the 17th.
A huge thank you to June and Audrey for all the time and effort they have put into helping our Bon Apiti students create these healthy lunches, and also teaching them the basic hygiene standards expected in a kitchen and cooking skills. Your effort has been very much appreciated by the students, staff and parents.
