Athletics Day Form

 

CAMP FORMS - parent helper forms were due back on the last day of term. We will let you know this week if you will be required.
Please return all student health and permission forms ASAP

THE MONTH OF THE ROSARY. This month is the month of the Rosary.

 

THE COLOUR RUN  is happening this Friday. This should be a lot of fun.

It is the final week to get sponsors. Please continue in getting sponsors.  If you haven’t made a profile yet, there is still time.  We can keep going right to Friday and then the fun will begin. https://schoolfundraising.co.nz/  After the event the children will be able to order their prizes online. Orders need to be done by 31 October.

 

The organisation of the Day

 

The Colour Run is finally upon us!! 

The students have done an AMAZING job fundraising and it is now in the final week for getting sponsors.  The colour run will take place this Friday afternoon the 21st of October starting at 1.30 pm

 

Students must wear old clothes for the run…they will be covered in coloured chalk by the end of it!  (Rest assured it does wash out). Please send a change of clothes and a towel as there will be a water activity. They cannot use their sports uniform or their school uniform when taking part. 

 

We invite you all to come along and watch the fun unfold!

If you would like to be a parent helper on the day please let Brigitte Holmes know.  

brigitteh@stmarysrotorua.school.nz or text 0272121206.

The PTA helpers will be about but we will need more hands to help with safety, please volunteer if you can. 

 

GRANDPARENTS/GRANDFRIENDS MASS;  Friday, October 28th at 9.30 am 

Join us for Mass with Catholic songwriter and singer, Andrew Chinn leading our singing. We would love to see as many Grandparents/Grandriends as possible there with us.

 

TEACHER ONLY DAY:

We have a Teachers’ Only Day on Monday 7th November. There will be no school for children. If you require after-school care you can ring Maryanne Roling from Glenholme Afterschool Care. Mary Anne’s contact number is 347 0709 or 0211 215599

 

WORKING BEE.

We intend to have a working bee on the second Saturday after the holidays, October 29th. 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.

 

SWIMMING

The pool is in perfect condition for swimming. Thanks to Richard for preparing the pool. The water temperature is around 30 degrees, so it is warm. The pool is a great facility and we expect that children will have their swimming togs with them when their class is timetabled for swimming.

 






SUMMER UNIFORM

Summer Uniform is to be worn from Monday. Please make sure children are not wearing part summer, part winter uniform.

 

Students are to start Term 4 in full summer uniform. Our Uniform Shop is open Mondays (8.30-9.00am), Wednesdays (2.30-3.00pm) & Fridays (8.30-9.00am) during term time. The girls’ summer dresses are currently only available from our school uniform shop. Please don’t forget children need to wear the school sun hats in term 4.

We also sell school uniforms via our school website. You can order and pay online and pick up your uniform from the school reception after you have been notified by email that the uniform is ready to pick up. Hopefully, this will be easier for those parents who find it difficult to get to our uniform shop.
