Welcome to Te Ngahere 2023
Mike Crawford - January 26, 2023
Happy New year everyone!
In Te Ngahere, we have a vision of creating an environment that promotes and supports success both within our Hauora and Academics.
We are hoping you were all able to get some quality family time after a challenging 2022. We have a few notices for you to start the year with.
Stationery
When your child comes with their stationery on Wednesday, could they please bring a plastic bag (qizzle send their stationery orders with one) to store the remainder of the stationery for the year in our office.
Hats and Polar Fleeces
In the last year we had a lot of lots of hats and polar fleeces left around the school unnamed. Wearing hats is a requirement and part of our school uniform in terms 1 and 4. Please ensure your child's hat and polar fleeces are named clearly and securely. We recommend Vivid on the inside of hats and polar fleeces, not just the name tags.
Silent Reading Book/ D.A.R.E (drop everything and read)
To continue improving student literacy, Silent Reading will continue to be a part of our culture in Te Ngahere. We would love your student to bring a book or magazine they like to read for the first week or two. We will be starting our library rotation as soon as possible. Please note any material considered inappropriate brought will be sent home with your child.
Camp in Term 3
We are excited to be going to Living Springs in Term 3 of 2023. We will have more information with dates, costs, and details at the end of term 1.
About my child
Please take the time to fill out this questionnaire, the data will only be visible to Te Ngahere Teachers. Our questionnaire from 2022 was extremely helpful for the teachers. Also, to help our students learn about each others whanau and to be more comfortable in our Te Ngahere community, we are asking for some family photos of you and your child to put in a Te Ngahere 2022 book that students can look at. If you would like to share, please upload a digital picture to thisalbum.
