PTA Ladies' Night - TOMORROW Friday, 29 June

It's not too late to buy tickets! Please CLICK HERE for further information.

PTA - a call for helpers

The Ladies’ Night is this Friday night and planning is going well. We will need help on the night and we are hoping you’re available to lend a hand for an hour or more on the day (Friday) to help make it a successful event.

I’m putting together a roster to cover the various jobs that need to be done, including setting up during the day (mainly from 3:30pm onwards), helping with food prep, welcoming people, helping in the Pop-Up Recycling Boutique and helping pack up at the end of the night.

Please let me know if you can help and whether you’re available during the afternoon for set up or just during the evening. If you have a preference of what job you’d like to do let me know that too and we’ll try to accommodate everyone.

Able to help in any way please email Jo on: mipelan@hotmail.com

Thanks so much in advance.

Jo Pelan (PTA member)

Lost property

All the lost property at the Junior Campus will be on display in the foyer for one week.
At the end of school on Wednesday, 4 July all unnamed and unclaimed lost property will be reassigned.

Please take the time to check the lost property table. Thank you!

Junior Campus Counselling Update

At the end of this term we sadly farewell Carley Braddock who has been working as a counsellor and running groups for the past 3 terms. We are very grateful to Carley for giving her time and expertise. She will be leaving to continue her Post Graduate/Doctoral studies.

In Term 3 we will welcome Su Fenwick to our team to oversee the Junior Campus counselling. Su is an experienced counsellor with a heart for children. She has been the Head of Student Support in an International School in Hong Kong for the past 10 years counselling and teaching and is returning to NZ. Su will work 2 days a week in the Junior Campus and is looking forward to meeting you all.

Why offer counselling at the Junior Campus?

For parents unfamiliar with this service, Kingsway School has qualified counsellors available for students in consultation with their parents. We partner with parents to support children and help them to encounter God’s love when facing challenges that impact on children’s life and learning. For more information contact michelle.youngs@kingsway.school.nz

Health and Safety Notice to Parents

Please be advised that a letter regarding emergency practice procedures was sent via email to all Junior Campus parents today. A copy of the same letter has been attached to this notice. Please scroll down to attachments at the base of the newsletter.

Messages to Children During School Hours

There has been a noticeable increase in the number of parents phoning in to the Primary office, wanting messages to be delivered to their children.

Please note that reception staff are not permitted to leave the office unattended, and will no longer be able to do this unless in a real emergency.

Please ensure that your children know how they are going home each day and if a change in plan cannot be avoided, then let the office know by 1pm, so that the teaching staff can be given the message at lunchtime.

Afterschool Arrangements with Children

Parents please ensure your children know what form of transport or arrangement has been made for them at the end of the day. We seem to be having a lot of confusion at the end of the day with children uncertain whether they are taking the bus or being picked up from school. For children who have difficulty remembering what the arrangement is after school, or if their usual routine has changed, we recommend you put a note in their lunch box to remind them.

Junior Campus Car Park - Important Reminder

Please ensure cars are driving slowly and not speeding in or out of the car park. Parents waiting for their children are asked to turn their cars off and to remember to reverse into the car parks, if possible.

Junior Campus Foyer After School

The Junior Campus staff require the support of all parents and caregivers to please vacate the Junior Campus foyer as quickly as possible after school.

We have various sports teams, Kumon Mathematics and The sKids After School Programme operating in this area from 3.05pm. They are finding it increasingly challenging to instruct their students and run their programmes effectively.

Activity Fees

A reminder that the Primary Activity Fees for domestic students are now past the due date. Please ensure payment is made as soon as possible. This notice is for domestic students only and does not apply to International Students. Activity fees are available on the KingsWay website. Please click on link below.
