Our Year 7/8 students head off on the bus to Dunedin North Intermediate once a week, on a Tuesday, for the afternoon with their teacher. These technology sessions include, Foods, Metalwork, Woodwork and Sewing. This week some of our students made face masks in the sewing class.

We are very proud of our school uniform and it supports the culture of our school. No hoodies are to be worn under the uniform, black long sleeve T Shirts are preferable. Uniforms can be purchased from the school office. We appreciate your support with ensuring our children are wearing the correct uniform daily.

With the increase in electronic device use and social media, it is timely to check in with your children. As a school we are critically aware of the vast amount of information that is available to our children in the digital world. We are also aware of the significance and impact of social media, as our children begin to enter the cyber social space. Netsafe New Zealand has developed a range of great resources, including an Online Safety Parent Tookit, to support parents and whānau when navigating this space (https://www.netsafe.org.nz/). Any time is a good time for parents, caregivers and whānau to check with children, to make sure that they are accessing appropriate information, understand what to do if they come across something that concerns them, or the impact of social media.

If you would like to be on a float in the Santa Parade please contact the organisers at dnsantakids@gmail.com. The parade is scheduled for Sunday 6 December. It starts at 3pm but you would need to be available from 12.30 until 5.30. All costumes are provided. A parent will need to accompany any child for the duration and walk alongside the float. We are putting arrangements in place in the hope we can hold the parade but this will depend on the Covid-19 restrictions.

We are excited to announce that this event is going ahead on the 5th of November at Brockville Primary School, starting at 10am.

Keep up to date on your phone! No internet required!
