Welcome back to Term 3. A special welcome to all new students, parents and caregivers to Te Ahi Kaikōmako Rolleston School. We look forward to working alongside you and please remember our door is always open.

Term 3 Events

With a slow return back to normality it is great to see that our students will once again be able to participate in a range of sporting, cultural and learning events both inside and outside of the school. These include zone winter sports opportunities, Yr 7&8 Camp, Life Education, Garden to Table, PTA Disco, preparation for Cultural Festival, full school assemblies and hopefully much, much more. PLEASE continue to keep updated via the key dates listed on our fortnightly newsletter, school Facebook Page, school App. and additional notices sent out when required.

School X-Country

On the last day of Term 2 we held our annual Yr 5-8 School X-Country. The purpose of this X-Country was to select our representatives for today's Zone X-Country. A massive thanks to Ellie Stuckey, Ann-Marie-Sewell and Den McCloy who played key roles in the planning, organsing and running of the event. Fortunately we had an AMAZING day weather wise and it was fantastic to see many of our students competing in what proved to be a challenging course.

Reminder

Just a reminder regarding the picking up of your children within school hours. We are aware that from time to time that you may have to collect your children from school due to an appointment or family event/emergency. If you could continue to keep these occasions to a minimum and communicate with the school office and/or classroom teacher in advance it would be greatly appreciated.

Have a great weekend.

Cheers

Simon
