Kia Ora Koutou,

Only a week and one day left until the end of term. My how time
flies when you are busy (and have a baby to wrangle!). Our senior
students (Years Four - Eight) attended the Taihape Winter
tournament last Friday. We all had a wonderful time, and the
weather managed to hold out which was fortunate since it was
sleeting when I left Waiouru! You can all be very proud of the
behaviour of our students, they represented our school beautifully.
As recognition of this we won the Sportsmanship and Fair Play
award out of all eleven schools. Well done team! If you happen to have any photographs of the day,
can you please pop in and share them with Kerry. Currently we only have photos of the Year four to
five rugby and would like to add some of the other codes to our website (sorry baby brain, I should of
taken a camera!).
Constable Marks has been in this week and will be back next week for the Kia Kaha
programme. The Kia Kaha programme is a positive safety programme in which students develop
strategies for respectful relationships where bullying behaviours are not tolerated. The aim of the
programme is for children and young people to learn and apply a range of safe practices that they
can use to build and maintain successful relationships throughout their lives. If you have any
questions about the programme Constable Marks will be here on Monday and Tuesday next week.
You can catch up with him after school. We also have pamphlets available at the office.
Finally, click cards finish on Monday at 3pm. Our click card celebration assembly will be on Tuesday
next week at 12.30pm. The red card reward is a swim, which will be on Wednesday at 12pm. If you
are able to help with supervision down at the pools, please let Mrs Corbett or myself know. Green
Card reward is a free lunch (sausages and chips). This will be on Tuesday after the assembly. The
blue card reward, dessert will be on Wednesday after the children have eaten lunch.
Ka kite ano,
Marama

Girl Guides
Why?
Children who live in rural communities or in smaller towns sometimes dont get the opportunity to be
involved in after-school clubs and activities because of the distance needed to travel or because
some activities arent provided locally. GirlGuiding NZ recognises that need, and the Aotearoa
Region specialises in providing programmes to girls who cant, for whatever reason, attend regular
weekly meetings in a meeting place. We deliver our programmes by a variety of other methods,
including mail, email and the internet.
Wed be delighted to have the opportunity to provide girls in your community with the chance to be
involved in an organisation which encourages and empowers girls to reach their full potential.
If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me. Thank you sincerely for your help.
Kind regards
Kathy ONeill
