 Thank you so much to the students and parents/grandparents/friends that have made our year AWESOME!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with time spent with family. Here are the rules to the game Spoons which the kids loved. We had the lego challenge on making a Christmas creation. Here are some of the photos, from this week. If you were lucky enough to come to the missioning you would have been proud of our middle school and the senior team doing the Haka for the year 6 kids. Thank you also for the lovely gifts, I really appreciate them. Here is to 2023. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year. Jill Dinniss

WATERFIGHT ALERT

Well, today was a day of mixed emotions having kids who have become mine go off to new teachers. Everyone came back happy so here is to a great year next year. Tuesday - regular day for our students Wednesday - Prizegiving in the morning then a shared lunch (please bring a plate) and a water fight in the afternoon. if you don't want to send a water gun then a sponge works well also. We will have a slip and slide out also. Togs or clothes that can get wet would be great. Thursday - Commissioning and then students to be picked up by 12:30 pm (if you wish to take your child after commissioning that is fine. Thanks again for a great year and for all the thoughtful gifts I really appreciate them. Jill

Our drivers should have all gotten an information slip on Thursday. The drivers are: Ang Mathis, Nora Leatherland, Taina Squibb, Mr. Walker, Tara Grant, and myself. Children will need NO devices on Monday, a change of clothes (labelled), or togs and a towel. Food and water for the day as there is nowhere to purchase anything. We are publishing a school magazine again this year, and this will be available during the last week of this term. At this stage, there are only to be 100 magazines printed.
