Shared Lunch / Afternoon Tea
ASSA organises the shared lunch for the day which may include meat, salad or vege dishes e.g quiche, bacon and egg pies / sausage rolls etc., please expect a phone call regarding this.
Also, could all school families please bring along a plate for afternoon tea.
Grocery Raffle
We are again running a grocery raffle on the day, so could we ask each family to please provide about 3 non-perishable items to contribute to this raffle.  These items can be dropped into the school office anytime up to Thursday - Thank you!!  We look forward to seeing you all here on Thursday.

Swimming Lessons
Swimming lessons are due to start on Wednesday the 4th of November and will be every Wednesday from then on e.g. the 11th, 18th, 25th of November and the 2nd December.  Unfortunately, as the Makino is under going a major upgrade, we have had to look further afield for our lessons, so have managed to book the Freyberg pool in Palmerston North for our lessons.  The BOT has very generously agreed to subsidise these lessons by paying half.
Please circle the dates below suitable for you to help with transport.  

Regards, Mary, Nicki and Christine.

4th November.        11th November.       18th November.       25th November.       2nd December.
