Week 9 Term 2 Newsletter

It is hard to believe that we are in week nine and nearly at the end of the term!

It is nice to know that it was the shortest day last Wednesday, so Spring and Summer are just around the corner.


Weird and Wacky Wednesday Mufti Day - 28 June

Gold Coin Donation

Donations will go to the S.P.C.A Canterbury

"Children are encouraged to wear their hair and/or clothes in a unique or wacky way or normal mufti is fine too." (Thank you for your support, St Albans School Council.) Please remember that the following day is school photos - so if hair dye is used it needs to be able to be washed out!

School Photos 29 June 

'Heritage Photography' will take individual and class photos on Thursday 29 June. We ask that all children are in correct winter uniform, with their hair looking tidy and their fabulous smiles at the ready. Please ensure they are in winter uniform. Where possible, please use the polo shirt and sweatshirt. We ask that polar fleeces are not too be worn.

Alpine View Retirement Trip - 30 June

On Friday the 30 of June the children from Kahikatea and Totara hubs will be travelling to Alpine View Retirement Village on Prestons Road, to sing to the residents. The children will be leaving school by bus at 10.45am and returning to school about 12.30pm. The blanket permission slip that you filled in at the beginning of the year covers your child's permission for this trip.

Thank you so much for the parents and caregivers that have offered to help on this school trip. Your child's homebase teacher will advise or email you if you are a parent/caregiver help.

Recyclable Junk Structure 

On the last day of term the children will be designing and constructing a structure out of recyclable junk. Can you please start collecting items at home that would be suitable for this e.g., cereal boxes, milk cartons or glad wrap containers. You can bring these into your homebase room on either Thursday 6 June or Friday 7 June.

Reports Online

You will be able to access your child's report on Thursday 29 June from 3pm through our STAr reporting system. This can be accessed through our school website. If you have problems with your username or password please see your homebase teacher.

Parent Interviews

Wednesday 5 July - 3.15pm until 7pm

Thursday 6 July - 2.15pm until 6pm

Please note: School finishes at 2pm on Thursday 6 July 

You can book an interview through: www.schoolinterviews.co.nz 

Our school code is: b6t3z.  

Interviews are 15 minutes long and you are more than welcome to bring your child along too.

"We are trialling a new approach that recognises that for some learners interviews have already taken place and another interview may not be required at this time." (St Albans School Newsletter, Term 2 Week 6)

Have a fabulous week!
