Hi Everyone,

A short week this week, new books and poems came home and so did library books.

Enjoy your weekend 

Jen.

Please disregard previous notice re bus being late, it will be doing the usual runs on time.

Ritchies have notified us that the bus is running late after being held up on an earlier job.  It is on the way.   We will let you know once the bus has left. This may affect both Wairere and Bethells Bus students as we might need to combine all students onto the one run.

Kia ora Waitākere whānau,

We are excited to announce our Rookie Cookies Fundraiser to help support our Year 5/6 students attending camp in 2027!

School camp is a fantastic opportunity for our tamariki to build confidence, develop independence, strengthen friendships and create lasting memories. We would love the support of our wider school community to help make this experience more affordable for our students.

How can you support us?

There are two easy ways to purchase Rookie Cookies:

Order through Kindo: Rookie Cookies are available for purchase on Kindo for all school families.
Order through a student: Find a current Year 4 or Year 5 student who is fundraising for their 2027 camp and place an order through their paper order form.

Where does the fundraising money go?

All proceeds go towards supporting our 2027 Year 5/6 camp!

Orders placed through a current Year 4 or Year 5 student's fundraising form will contribute directly towards that student's individual camp fees.
Orders placed by other members of our school community through Kindo will help support our Year 5/6 students with their camp costs.
Important dates

📅 Orders close: Friday 20 November 2026 at 9:00 am

🍪 Cookie delivery: Tuesday 8 December 2026

📍 Collection: All cookie orders will be delivered to school and available for collection and distribution on Tuesday 8 December.

Every box makes a difference!

Thank you for supporting our tamariki and helping make our 2027 camp possible!

The Year 5/6 Team
