Ra Whanau Mai

Wed Feb 01 10:17am

Rā Whānau Mai
Kia Ora Whanau,


I hope everyone and their families are well and safe in their environments. The weather is wild and will mean we are making a few alterations to Ra Whanau Mai day tomorrow. We are very much looking forward to building strong relationships with our families so please if you haven’t booked your time for tomorrow please do so.


 



A reminder that on Thursday the 2nd of February, St Mary’s will open for Rā Whānau Mai. This is a family open day and is a great opportunity for you, as parents and whānau, to share your expectations, your child’s interests, strengths, and learning needs and the knowledge you value, directly with your child’s teacher.


 



Each time slot (one per child) will be 10 minutes long and can be booked by going to: www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and using the following code: cpv9d or by using this direct link https://www.schoolinterviews.co.nz/code/cpv9d


 



It would be very helpful if you could please complete this questionnaire with your child before you meet with the teacher on Thursday the 2nd of February. Thank you.


 



School is closed for instruction for Rā Whānau.


The coffee cart will be at school from 9am to 12pm. As the weather is a little wild we will not be having the swimming pool open and no sausage sizzle.


 



A school newsletter and team newsletters will come out today as well. Please check HERO, school website and the school app.


 



We are looking forward to continuing to work together in 2023 to provide effective home-school partnerships in which parents and teachers are involved together in our children’s learning.

Morena Whanau,


apologies for the early morning message. We have some concreting been completed this morning around rooms 1/2/3/4/5 and the PE shed so the childrens access will be limited for a period of time. We will manage this until the concreters are offsite.


Our centre foyer is getting some work on it as well and can only be accessed by the back doors on the Cluny centre side and by the kitchen. Apologies for the inconvenience.
