Welcome
We are delighted to welcome Danielle, Luke and their family to our school. Danielle is a Year 6 student and Luke is a Year 4 student. We know these students will enjoy learning at Apiti School.
Celebrating our successes
Sarah and Johnny first equal in the Oroua Speech Competition!!! Congratulations!
Yes both Johnny and Sarah wowed the judges with their passionate speeches and were equal overall
We would like to thank Nicki for organising this event for the Oroua Schools.
Skiing
Congratulations for all the success of our students who did not let the weather, which was misty and cold for most of the day, stop them. They were up early and got to the slopes in plenty of time for their lessons. They all showed determination to make the best of their lessons and persevered in tough conditions. They all developed skiing skills but more than that, accepted challenges and through resilience our students were all stars!
Thanks to the parents who took transport, without your support we would not be able to offer the students this great opportunity. Also thanks Nicki and Michael, Kiwitea parents and students for joining us on this day.
A huge thank you to the Apiti School Board of Trustees for paying for this most generous Mt Ruapehu ski experience for our students.
Could all borrowed ski gear please be returned to school a.s.a.p.

Lost Property
Could all students clothing that is worn to school, please be named as this makes it so much easier to find the rightful home for clothing items. We do have quite a few items of lost property at school now, so please feel free to call in to the school foyer at any time to sort through these.
School Grounds
The school grounds are looking great thanks to our very conscientious caretaker and also to those community members / parents who are helping the students in their Whanau groups with the vegie gardens etc.
Enviro Schools Visit
Rowena from Horizons will be visiting us tomorrow (Tuesday 4th) from 1.45 onwards to help plant up the growing unit. She will be bringing plants and potting mix with her but we would also love any small native trees or plants that we could pot up please would be great! We would love to have some willing parents help us on the day.
Also if anyone has any old paint we could use to paint games on our concrete, that would also be fabulous.
Return used Toner Cartridges
We have several used Photocopy Cartridge Toners we would love to have returned to Ricoh for recycling. If anyone is travelling to Palmerston North and are able to take these back to Ricoh NZ situated at 81 Lombard St, please let us know, as it would be very much appreciated!
