Jo Earl —

We have had a great first week back culminating in a fabulous day at Cross Country today.

Well done to those students who go above and beyond to do their best at this event. Thanks Maree and Rebecca H for your organisation of this event.

Welcome

We had 8 new students join Kākano and 5 older students join us in the other Hubs on Tuesday this week.

Welcome to all of our new whānau and akonga - we are delighted to have you join us.

Welcome also to Matt Clark teaching in Kākano for the rest of the year, we are excited to have you join us.

Assemblies Friday 2.15pm

We are pleased to begin our assemblies again this term - we have missed being able to share our learning with you all. We need to limit numbers in the hall so this term we will be running separate Junior (Paiaka and Kākano) and Senior (Tumu and Kaupeka) assemblies

Junior Assemblies will be held:

Week 3 Friday 20 May

Week 6 Friday 10 June

Week 9 Friday 1 July

Senior Assemblies will be held:

Week 2 Friday 13 May

Week 4 Friday 27 May

Week 7 Friday 17 June

Kapa haka 

We are delighted to begin gathering again for Kapa haka. This year Kapa haka will be on a Wednesday morning in the Library at 8.15am. We are starting next week Wednesday 11th May.

All are welcome - encourage your children to come along and see what it is all about. 

Hero posts

You will have noticed that the teachers have been working on updating the posts on Hero during their non-contact time. What a wealth of information they have gathered for you! Please check your Hero portal to see the posts that have been shared.

Community notices are shared through Hero and can be found in the community feed. 

If you are having trouble accessing your portal please call into the office and we can help with this. Also if you just want a quick lesson on how to use the portal we are more than happy to help with that.

Weekly Sport

We are still looking for a couple of adults to help us with the coaching of sport on Thursday afternoons - if you could possibly help with netball or football please email maree.scott@stfrancischch.school.nz or call in at the office.

Have a wonderful weekend e ngā whānau
