A reminder school finishes at 12.40 Wednesday this week.  The bus will leave at 12.40 as will the walking school bus.  This is so those parents who want to chat to teachers about their child’s mid-year report or need further clarification about their child’s progress they have an opportunity to do so.  If your child is being supervised at school until 3pm they will be in the school hall. 10 minute appointments can be made via Skool Loop if you would like to chat.

On Friday 31st July, we’ll be supporting Red Nose Day to help Cure Kids raise funds for child health research and raise funds for children in need across New Zealand. Students are invited to wear something red and bring along a koha (donation) if they are able. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference—thank you for your support!

Good morning Waitākere families! 

We are looking for a replacement homestay family for 2 Japanese boys who are arriving at our school on 30 July and departing on the morning of the 6th of August. Due to unforeseen circumstances one of our families has had to pull out at short notice. The boys attend school for normal hours but would spend the weekend with your family.

Reimbursement for the pair staying is $1190.  They must have their own bed but can share a room. 

We would love to hear from you if you can help us out as we need to find these boys a place to stay urgently. Please contact Anna on asmith@waitakereprimary.school.nz if you could potentially help or would like more information. 

Thank you!
