Bailey Road HEART / Manawa

Affirmation / Whakau A great story of what happened in the weekend. By Risha Prasad Rm 6 On Sunday I went to Sylvia Park to do some shopping. My mum, dad and Riya came with me. I met Cassey Williams, she is the Captain of the New Zealand Netball Team. We had a photo taken with her. I want to play netball too. She is tall, pretty kind and nice.

Disco Fever / Mufti Fundraiser

A huge thank you goes to Daniel Grobler who came in for us and was our DJ for the whole day. Thank you to all who attended and contributed to this fundraising effort by paying your mufti money and buying glow bands and ice-blocks. The school disco raised a total of $1100 which will go towards running costs of the school. A special thanks to Miss Karrie Sampson who organised this outstanding event for the school.

Parent / Teacher Interviews

Tuesday 9th August 3.20 to 7.00 pm
We are trialing a new way of booking appointment times. You will be able to make your appointments online. If you do not have access to the internet you can ring the office.

Continual Lateness / Absence

School starts at 8.50am and finishes at 2.45pm. Students who are continually late will be issued with a yellow card. Being late disrupts the entire class. Legitimate reasons are acceptable, but continual that they woke up late, or walked slow etc, these are not exceptable excuses. Please try and help by having your child at school on time. A reminder also that if your child is going to be absent that you are to ring 579-4619 or text the school on 0277744488.

School Holidays
School will finish on Friday 15th July at 2.45pm and resume at 8.50am on the 1st August 2011. I hope that you have a safe and happy time with your family/whanau these holidays.

Please note:
Room 22 interviews will be held on Wednesday 13th July
