With the weather setting in, I wanted to provide an update regarding the current weather conditions and the plan for Thursday. Please be advised that school remains open as usual. I have been in contact with Ritchies Buses and they have confirmed that buses are running on their normal schedules.

 

We are closely monitoring the weather and local road conditions to ensure the safety of our students and staff. While we are operating as normal, we understand that families traveling from rural and coastal areas face specific challenges. For those traveling from Ngunguru, please take note of the tide times, low tide is scheduled for 9:04 am Thursday.

 

As usual during these events, we will continue to provide updates via emails and school Dojo if the situation changes.

 

Stay safe and dry.

Reminder: Hockey trials for Year 5 and 6 students will be held this Friday, 27th March at Northland Hockey, 45 Park Avenue, Kensington (RS Eng Turf). 

Please arrive at 4:00 pm with your child ready to play and wearing safety gear (mouthguard, shin pads etc). 

I will briefly speak with parents before players are placed into trial teams at 4:20 pm, followed by a game from 4:30 pm to 5:20 pm with a short halftime break. 

This trial gives players a chance to showcase their skills ahead of the season. 

 

Kind regards,

Good Morning Everyone,

Just a few reminders about what is happening this week.

 

SCHOOL INTERVIEWS: Tuesday and Wednesday, 24th and 25th March

- School finishes at 12pm 

- Children must be collected at 12pm on both days or catch the bus home at that time.

- Buses will be leaving the school at 12pm

- Remember, no Chilly Tuesday, 24th March or Hotdogs on Wednesday, 25th March

 

COLOUR RUN: Friday 27th March

The PTA is looking for volunteers to help around the course on the day. If you are available on Friday, from 12.30pm, please email Jane at: disandjane@orcon.net.nz

 

The children should bring:

- a white or light coloured shirt so the colour really stands out

- the children will be provided with 'rainbow coloured glasses' before the race. These will protect their eyes

- a change of clothes or a rubbish bag to cover the car seat for the drive home - or the bus ride home

 

Please come and join in the afternoon, encourage the children and watch the fun unfold.

 

- All classes who reach their class goal will have a celebratory ice block.

- The top 3 earners will get to run the course FIRST on Friday.

 

Regards

Glenbervie School
