Kia Ora, Talofa and Welcome to Term 4, Week 4.
What a big week we had last week for all students and staff. EOTC week was
fantastic, and I must say a huge big thank you to all parents/caregivers who
willingly gave their time to help with the various activities including Year 6
camp, Year 5 overnight stay, whole school trip to Bluff and the in house activi-ties
at school. Also thank you to all the families who paid the extra money for
the Education Outside the Classroom week activities. We do appreciate these
funds as our Operations Grant does not cover everything. Check out the pho-tos
of the year 6 camp on the next page.
Great to see lots of pirates and princesses at the PTA disco recently. Hope
everyone enjoyed the night and it was a great venue too.
Check out the column to the left to keep up to date with what is happening
around our school. Note the Sexual Education Night for year 5/6 students and
parents/caregivers on Thursday November 20th. This will be an informative,
friendly forum for open discussion regarding the changes that our students go
through in puberty.
Tomorrow our year 6’s are attending their chosen high schools for an orienta-tion
morning. Please did not send them back to school. They can go home
when their visit is completed.
School Uniforms: Enclosed with the newsletter is the information sheet regard-ing
uniforms for 2015. Great to see some students wearing it already, they look
very smart.
Southern Zone Soccer Tournament: Well done to our teams that participated in
the games yesterday. Great to see everyone having an enjoyable time and
interacting with our southern zone neighbours.
Until next time, enjoy the weekend and hopefully some sunshine.

Ten Basic Principles
of Good Parenting:
2. You cannot be too
loving. When it comes to
genuine expressions of
warmth and affection, you
cannot love your child
too much. It is simply
not possible to spoil a
child with love. What we
often think of as the
product of spoiling a
child is never the result
of showing a child too
much love. It is usually
the consequence of giving
a child things in place
of love — things like
leniency, lowered expec-tations
or material
possessions.
