Newsletter 4 April 2024
|
|
|
Welcome
A Big welcome to Harbaaz who has joined us at David Street School.
Nau mai, haere mai ki te Kura o Rawiri
|
|
|
|
|
|
We invite our whanau into our classrooms next Wednesday the 10th of April between 2.00 pm & 4.00 pm.
|
Term One has been a fantastic term for getting to know our new classmates and teachers, setting up learning routines for 2024, and investigating new learning in class. Your children would love to share what they have been up to with whānau.
|
|
The afternoon is not a formal meeting time to talk about progress and achievement but a time for children to share their learning with you.
|
|
Between 2.00 & 3.00 pm all of the students will be in class participating in learning activities which parents are welcome to join.
|
If you plan to take your children home before 3.00 pm then we ask that you sign them out at the office. Otherwise, the bell will go at 3.00 pm as usual and children can head home.
Classes will remain open for parents to visit until 4.00 pm.
|
|
We look forward to seeing you all in class next week.

Lost Property
|
Each Term we always have extremely large amount of lost property. We do our best to manage and ensure lost property is returned to the owner. Please name your child’s clothing, including towels, togs and goggles. This helps us get items back to where they belong.
|
|
Any lost property not claimed each term is donated to charity.

Redevelopment of Campbell Park
