Dear Parents and Caregivers,

I hope that the long weekend was a good opportunity for you as families to spend time together and relax a little.

It has been an exciting week for students who have participated in the Senior School student-run KAOS lunchtime event. It is always great to see students getting involved and giving things a go. We have had students out representing us at the North Harbour days and others who take the Year 9 Option of Sport Studies having their day learning how to ski at Snow Planet. I just love the variety of things that we have for students to engage in and have fun in so many different ways.

Coming up soon, we have the Science Roadshow visiting and many different year level trips. Our Enviro Council is off to explore as well. The variety of trips spans from Year 9 Spanish students eating Spanish food in a restaurant to the Chelsea Sugar Factory trip to being off to Bouldering with the Outdoor Pursuits subject. I am so grateful to teachers who put so much time into organising these experiences and for parents who can attend.

Cross Country Fundraising Event

Our next whole Middle School event is our Cross Country on Tuesday 29 June. Please reinforce our message that we all get involved and give it our best go. CLICK HERE for specific information.

This is also an important fundraising opportunity for us. Please see the separate notice about this as we would like to make some outdoor enhancements for Middle School students CLICK HERE.

Prize Drive

Are there any people or businesses in our School community who would like to get behind this fundraiser and donate prizes of any value to this cause? Or, do you have connections with people or businesses who might like to contribute? Or would you like to donate a dollar amount towards buying prizes to be used as incentives? We are looking for small to medium value prizes that can be offered as spot prizes or larger ones that could be used for individuals.

If so, please email Raelene.Beguely@kingsway.school.nz as soon as possible. You will be recognized as a prize donor (if you choose to) on our fundraising website, as well as in our school newsletter and Facebook pages.

Kindest Regards
