SCHOOL NOTICES:
SCHOOL CUTS - Thanks Phoebe for continuing this great service this year. We raised $210 this week to go towards camp, which is fantastic!
RESILIENCE WORKSHOP - The first workshop in this series was well attended last year and was very positively received by parents. To date we have had no interest in this workshop which is scheduled for this Wednesday. Please email Rhonda urgently if you are keen to attend. If we have no interest we will cancel the workshop on Monday .
SCHOOL UNIFORM - Orders due next Wednesday 6 March. Email Tania at taniajjordan@gmail.com Thanks
EMERGENCY PHONE LIST - The Emergency Phone List is an essential document in the event of emergency communications or school closure. It is essential that it is up to date and accurate and that you know who will be contacting you in the case of an emergency. This document has been updated to include our new families and is attached to this What's On. Please take the time to check it for accuracy and let me know any changes: principal@windwhistle.school.nz We will send paper copies home next week once we have made any necessary changes.
MALVERN SPORTS SPECTACULAR (YEAR 3 & 4) - Permission for this Year 3 & 4 opportunity was in last week's What's On and was due today to enable event organisation. We only have two children attending at this point as we have only had two permission forms completed - thanks to these two parents. I have extended the due date until next Wednesday. Please take the time to complete this for your child. Click here to complete the permission form.
ELGREGO SHOW (Whole School) - Please click here for the permission form and additional info for this event. The children really enjoyed this opportunity last year and I've been told that this years show is even better!
ACCOUNTS - It appears that there was an issue with sending these last week - we aologise for this and have re-sent them this afternoon (please let me know if you have not received yours), you can also view your account within Linc-Ed by logging in and clicking the dollar sign. Thanks to those of you who have paid these already. As this is a new system please let me know of any issues: principal@windwhistle.school.nz
ANNUAL BULB FUNDRAISER - Once again we will be offering the NZ bulbs for sale as a school fundraiser. A catalogue will be sent home with your child and a limited amount of extras will be available at the school office or from Rebecca Rose. Your help with selling and collating your orders is much appreciated!!! Roll in the orders. Please see the PDF attachment in this What's On for order info or contact Rebecca Rose.
CURRENT POLICY REVIEW - We have two policies for review on School Docs this term. We really value your input on these reviews so please take the time to complete them. Remember both the username and password for the site in the word: windwhistle. Click each policy to access it's review form.
