The school is looking great thanks to our cleaner Christine Lowe and our caretaker David Stewart. We look forward to showcasing our school on 25th October which is Lamb and Calf Day. We hope you all have this date marked on your calendars.
Also a big thank you to Ruth Brocket who has updated our library and put it online in the holidays. Students all have a user barcode and books will be issued through the system only. We have an extensive library and encourage everyone to use it. We welcome pre-schoolers to also come and get a barcode and use our library.
We have student librarians as well as Ruth who is here daily, and Pat who can issue and return books. Please put any return books in the container provided and if you find any library books at home please return them for Ruth to process. We want our library to be the centre of our school and look forward to working with the Community Creators who are responsible for this area of the school under the leadership of Lucas.

Your Lamb / Calf
We would like to encourage all students to participate on this day by bringing along their lamb or calf.
Caring for living things is part of the NZ science curriculum and Key Competencies e.g. managing self
and participating and contributing.
We understand that there are occasions when a student may not be able to bring a lamb or calf. To
enable everyone to participate, we can source lambs if needed let us know, we encourage the
sharing/offers of a borrowed lamb. Judges will be made aware should this occur.
Lambs are judged on Leading, Calling, and Rearing. Calves are judged on Leading, Walking without
a lead and Care and Attention.
Pre-school children are welcome to bring their lamb – their section will be after the school lambs.
They are also welcome to join us for the fun events. Pre-schoolers will receive a participation certificate.
Fun events will be held while points are being added up, for ‘best dressed lamb and calf’ and a ‘drinking
competition’ if you would like to bring 200mls for your lamb and 2 litres for your calf.
Please do not wash your lamb, just give it a light brush regularly. You may wash your calf, but make
sure you do this on a warm day, rinse all soap out of its coat and rub it dry with a towel.
Practice leading your pet every day so that it becomes used to walking beside you. Regularly
check that its collar isn't too tight and don't forget to take it off when your pet gets bigger.
If you would like more help and advice, please click on www.anexa.co.nz as a useful site for raising a
lamb and / or calf.
Please email the school as soon as possible indicating who is bringing a lamb or a calf and the
name of the animal.
Cups / Trophies
Could all of last year’s cup winners return your cups to school, all polished up, the first week of term 4
please. Engraving will be paid for by the school.
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. We would like to invite all families, community members and
friends to join the judges for a shared lunch at 12.00, before the lamb and calf section starts. Could all
school families also please bring along a plate for afternoon tea. We appreciate all families helping on
the day with planning, providing and cleaning up.
We are running a grocery raffle on the day, so could each family please provide about 3 non-perishable

Swimming Lessons - Start - Friday 26th October!
We have swimming lessons booked in at the Feilding Makino Aquatic Centre in Feilding for 2 lessons per day on the following dates : Friday 26th October, Friday 2nd November, Friday 9th November, Friday 23rd November and Friday 30th November. Please mark these dates on your calendar. Swimming lessons are from 12.30 - 1.00 and then from 1.30 - 2.00pm. We will need to leave school at 11.00a.m. Students will attend school in the morning of these days. We would really appreciate it if you could email or ring Christine to let her know the dates you are able to help with transport as soon as possible please. We understand the commitment and appreciate everyone doing their bit to make this a success.
Students will need to take a good packed lunch, a drink, their togs and 2 towels.
The difference between a student's swimming ability from the first to final lesson each year, their confidence in the water and our improved placings at the Oroua Swimming Sports over the years, demonstrates the value of our annual swimming programme. It is a great time to focus on swimming as we head into the holidays ... a time when many students spend a lot of time in the water and around local rivers.
At the recent Board meeting, it was decided these lessons will be generously paid for by our Board of Trustees, thanks to the fundraising efforts by ASSA parents.
