All of our Year 0-3 students will be heading to the Keith Spry pool this Thursday for their swimming carnival.
While friends and whānau are unable to join us for the day due to Alert Level 2, you can assist by making sure that you child has the clothing, food and drink that they require for the day.
Wellington Breeze is once again sponsoring the 'Pack the Bus' donation drive.
'Pack the Bus' is an initiative that supports Wellington City Mission to help families to access food and toys for their tamariki in order to make this Christmas a happy one for all.
Pōhutukawa students will be overseeing this donation drive in the next few weeks. From this Monday (15 November) there will be a collection point in the office and on 1 December the bus will arrive to pick up all the generous donations for distribution prior to Christmas.
In the 'Pack the Bus' article there is a good guide to the types of donations that would be most suitable.
Next week our Year 0-2 students will be travelling to Worser Bay for their Beach Education Day.
Please follow this link to the article which will provide you with information as to what pack for your child/ren, and also which day your child/ren will be attending.
The latest notice on the Year 3-4 camp is linked here.
It is important for parents to read it because it contains all of the information around what to bring, when to be at school, and medical details.
Cultural Programme 2022
As a school, we acknowledge the importance of exposing our students to the different cultures present in the world and especially to highlight the cultural diversity present in our community as a way to support them in a globalised world.
For this reason, we are looking into how we can implement a sustainable cultural programme for the coming year (2022). We acknowledge that you are the best source of knowledge about your culture, and we believe that your input is essential in ensuring that we cater and take into account the aspects of culture that are of most importance to you and our tamariki.
We would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to answer some questions in this form. These questions are also being shared with your child/ren as their input is as valuable as yours.
