Thank you for your patience regarding the on again, off again skiing, however we can't control the weather and that is the nature of skiing!
We will try again for this Friday, the 25th of September and again we will make a definite decision on Thursday - probably be able to inform you at assembly. Please let us know of any changes from the previous ski attempts, i.e being able to / or not being able to attend the event, or being able to / or not being able to provide transport to Mt Ruapehu.
Of-course if the skiing is off, it will be school as per usual.

The
students are designing a small graphic poster representing their family. Photos of family members can be bought from
home for this or sent to school on a pen drive, but they need to be at school
a.s.a.p please. Ring Mary or Nicki if
you need more info.
Our final assembly for term 3 will be held this Thursday the 24th of September, starting at 1.30pm. The students movies that they have put together for the Digi Awards, will be shown. Everyone is very welcome to attend.
School Times for Term 4
During term 4, we will be trialing a different time schedule as follows :
9.00am - School starts.
9.00 - 10.30 - Morning class
10.30 - 10.55 - Playtime.
10.55 - 12.30 - Class-time.
12.30 - 1.15 - Lunch time.
1.15 - 2.45 - Afternoon class.
2.45 - School finish for the day. The bus will run at 2.45 but teachers will be available after this if needed. Hopefully this will suit parents better as they plan the extra curricular activities.
