Thanks For A Wonderful Term

I want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt thanks to our amazing school community. The success of our recent events is a testament to the incredible support from our dedicated teachers, staff, parents, and whānau.

This Term, our school trips and camps were a huge success, creating unforgettable experiences for our students. We couldn't have done it without the wonderful parent volunteers and teachers who gave up their time to ensure everything ran smoothly and safely. Your willingness to lend a hand is truly appreciated.

We also want to celebrate the fantastic school production, `Good in the Hood`. The show was a huge hit, thanks to the hard work and creative talent of our students and staff.

A special shout-out to our fantastic Friends of the School (FOTS) team for organizing such wonderful and successful fundraisers. The money raised will make a real difference in enriching our school. Our students did an incredible job during the Math-A-Thon, raising a significant amount for our new playground. What a phenomenal effort! The fun isn't over yet—we're all looking forward to celebrating with a delicious pie tomorrow.

Thank you again for your continued support. It’s what makes our school such a special and thriving place.

New School Board

Congratulations to Sarah Lewis, Michael Corbett, Eric Wei, Lisa Packer, Sunny Wu, and Charlotte Marychurch, who were all elected onto the Browns Bay School Board.

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who put their names forward for the election. At school we all appreciate your willingness to step up and serve our school community. The time and effort you invested in the election process, and the commitment you've shown to our school's future, is appreciated and valued.

As required to complete the process, the results of the election are attached at the end of the newsletter.

Second Hand Uniform Sale

Do you have outgrown or unworn uniform items taking up valuable space? The school holidays are a great opportunity to sort this out ready for a new home.

We will include a second-hand uniform sale list in the newsletter at the beginning of Term 4.  If you have uniform items that you would like to include in the sale please complete this form.

When the sale list goes out, buyers will be instructed to contact sellers (you) directly.
