Hi Parents/Caregivers

Kia ora koutou

Welcome to week two. Next week is a busy week with our student conferences. We would really like to chat to all parents as the one to one conversations are always the most productive.

PAEKAKARIKI FAIR

Organization for the fair is going full steam ahead so now is the time to start thinking about how you can help. We are also calling for stall holders. This is our only fund raiser of the year and your support is imperative to its success. If you or any one you know is interested in having a stall at this year's Paekakariki Fair please call the school for an application form.

HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMMES

As part of the Board's review of school programmes we are consulting parents on our health programmes.  If you check on our school website (school information/health consultation) you can now access the type of heath curriculum delivered to each of the year levels. There is also space for you to place feedback on any of the programmes. Please feel free to ring the office if there are any other questions.

NITS

We once again have an outbreak in the junior school so the best thing to do is to regularly check your child's hair for headlice and treat accordingly. Check behind the ears, on the crown and around the hair line at the back of the neck. Brush hair every evening to reduce head lice numbers and use a fine comb on wet hair. Treat if you find live insects or eggs within 1 cm of the scalp. Follow the instructions carefully with the treatment you choose. Try and make the brushing and combing a regular and relaxed event in your household.

PARENT, STUDENT, TEACHER INTERVIEWS

These will take place on Wednesday 4^th August from 1:00pm - 7:00pm. The interviews will be 15 minutes long and they will be student lead which means students will be heavily involved in the interview process. We are taking bookings now so please ring or email the office or call in to see Moira. Please take note that children will be dismissed from school at 12:25pm on this day. Also there will be no appointments between 5:30 and 6 pm so that the teachers can have their dinner. If you would like an interview without your child present can you please contact the office to make a separate appointment at a later date.
