Fakamālo atu kia te koutou uma (Greeting everyone). This week is Tokelauan Language Week. The theme this year is wellbeing and how celebrating language and culture can add to our spiritual and physical health.
Baptism Programme
The Baptism Programme begins next week and we have room for a couple more children. If you are interested in joining this programme please email your class teacher or the school office - thanks.
Raffle Books
Thank you for your support with the selling of raffle books for our awesome PTA. Please, return ALL raffle books tomorrow - sold or unsold.
Swimming
Kakano 3 had an absolute blast in the swimming pool last week. Kakano 2 and 1 are swimming this week. The pool is beautifully warm (about 30 degrees) and is very well maintained by our ever patient and hard working caretaker. We are so lucky to have such a great facility in our school and we do expect that children will have their togs each day during their swimming weeks. Well done Kakano 3 - almost everyone swam everyday!
Early finish for staff professional development
On Tuesday 2nd November at 2.30pm, our staff, along with teachers from St Michael’s Rotorua, St Mary’s Putararu and Bishop Edward Gaines in Tokoroa are involved in Titiro Whakamuri kia haere whakamua Professional Development. We will need to finish school at 2.15pm on that Tuesday so I ask that you pick your child up at 2.15pm.

Working Bee
We intend to have a working bee on the third Saturday after the holidays, November 7th. There are a number of jobs that need to be done. I really appreciate the support we get from you, so thank you in anticipation. Children are welcome and we will have a BBQ lunch. I have sent a letter home, if you are able to help please indicate on the sheet what you can help with and return the form to school.
