Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

It was so nice to see so many people come along for athletics days over the last couple of weeks. It is great having parents and community back at these events. I have really enjoyed meeting and talking to a number of parents and the wider community.

I have been visiting our classrooms each day and there has been a fantastic learning buzz across our school with students engaged in their learning.  During November our teachers and learners are busy completing their final learning progress and assessments for the year. 

This term continues to be a busy one, with lots of neat opportunities for the kids to learn and grow. Please see key information throughout this newsletter about our upcoming events.

We send our best wishes to the Jump Jam teams heading to Tauranga for the weekend !

Kia pai tō rā

Andrew and the Woodend Team

Walk Your Wheels and Wear a Hat *REMINDER*

by Shayne Barker

Just a reminder to walk your wheels please so it doesn't cause chaos and most importantly so you don't accidentally hurt anyone on school grounds. Also, students need to bring their hats to school every day for Term 4. Please wear your hats at morning tea and lunch times so you don't get sunburnt. Please and thank you.
