Dear parents, caregivers and whanau

The Board of Trustees are pleased to announce that Jane Fong will be taking on the role of Acting Principal from the beginning of Term 3 while the school goes through the process of employing a new principal. It is anticipated that Mrs Fong will hold this position for the rest of this year while the Board seeks out a new person to fill the role of Principal. The school has employed Maxine Cowap for the rest of this year to fill the teaching role in Room 5 that has become available. There will be other changes that will become apparent as we facilitate this change over of roles and responsibilities.

It was with great anticipation that Rooms 3 and 4 tuned in to the announcements of the winners of the North Canterbury Qualifying ePro8 Challenges on Tuesday morning. The cheers were loud when the announcements came through that 3 teams had secured places in the top three positions in the Y5/6 and Y7/8 sections. Congratulations to:

Y5/6 1st Sefton Solos: Monikah, Imani, Ivan and Zac - Golden Gate Bridge

Y5/6 2nd Sefton L&P: Emmy, Penny, Elin and Amelia - L&P Bottle

Y7/8 2nd Sefton Chicks: Emma, Isabelle, Grace C and Grace H. - Big Ben

Two other teams also qualified for the next round which will be held in the last week of term at Kaiapoi North School. The next round is a step up in terms of expectations so the children will need to have their thinking and building skills to the fore when they work against the other schools.
