This week was the final game of basketball competition for our five Year 3/4 teams on Monday after school. Thank you to Mr Fraser Malins for organising this and to all of the staff and parents who helped: Mr Kyle Seckold, Miss Nicole Davidson, Annette Hynes, Amy Price, Ellen Woodcock, Aaron Stevens and Merrin Luscombe [Y7 learner].

On Friday 6 December [this Friday] the ambassadors will be running a COIN TRAIL fund-raiser for Red Cross to support the people of Samoa currently in the midst of a deadly measles epidemic. This is a particular issue for our principal Ms Sylvia Fidow who is of Samoan heritage. Any small coins gratefully received outside the library from 8.30am [it is not a mufti-day].

On Monday 9th December Rolleston College will be hosting all of their 2020 Year 9 Cohort on site for a Welcome Morning. Learners are to arrive at 8:45 am (please make your own way there) and to meet Mrs Murray outside the auditorium entrance on the grass. Please come in full school uniform. We will then all go in as a group at 9am. This will be finished at 12 noon, allowing learners to return to school for the afternoon. Mrs Murray and Mrs Clarkson will walk all the learners back to school. Rolleston College are looking forward to meeting all of our learners who will be attending their High School next year.

We have been offered the opportunity to take some of the Year 8 learners sailing in the Lyttelton Harbour through the CanSail Charitable Trust, on Wednesday 11th December from 12:30 – 3:15pm. 20 of our Year 8 Learners will be taking part in this wonderful opportunity.

On Thursday 12th December there will be a special Year 8 Leavers Event to celebrate their final week. It is an exciting time for our Year 8 learners as they prepare to move off to High School next year, so we would like to acknowledge all of their hard work and wonderful achievements during their time at West Rolleston Primary School.

If so, could you please notifiy the office as soon as possible as we need to update the MOE with any changes and to ensure school accounts are settled.

We are looking for some large rolls of paper. Any will do, by ideally we need some that are around 2 metres wide and 1 metre wide of various grades.

If your child is prone to hayfever, please treat them before they come to school.
