Kia ora e te whānau,
Another busy couple of weeks at Silverdale. It was awesome seeing all the engagement and interest in maths around the school, celebrating Maths Week. Such courageous problem solvers and so many "ah ha!" moments.
Thank you to our community for supporting our learners through this wintery term 3. I can appreciate that it is not always easy keeping unwell children at home when you are working - but it really does make a difference to our community. Thank you also for encouraging your children who are able to, to wear masks. Along with increased ventilation and other health and hygiene measures at school, this continues to be a key strategy in keeping the spread of illness down.
As always, we are here to help. If you like to catch up with me about anything, please feel free to get in touch with me directly or call our school office to make an appointment.
Nga mihi nui,
Michael Harrop
Principal
