Kauri15: December 2013

Sunday 8 December 2013

Week 9

This week is Week NINE. This week we have the rest of our final formal assemblies. Monday is Sports, Wednesday is Cultural and Friday’s assembly is the biggest and longest - Merit / Awards assembly.

It is really important that you let your parents know that you are getting an award at these assemblies so that they can come and support you !!

Please remember on the days we have our formal assemblies that you sip water for all of block one, your morning tea has carbohydrates and protein in it and that you go to the toilet during morning tea. It is REALLY important that you do NOT have any extra singlets, shorts or tops on underneath your blue uniform.

On Tuesday we have our Kauri Team end of year celebration – a swim at the school pool followed by a Sausage Sizzle and whole team shared lunch. Please make sure you have your togs and bring a plate with some food on it to share.

Year 8’s have been given their invitations to the graduation social, which is next Monday night. You will need to purchase your ticket from the student foyer before school on Tuesday or Wednesday this week OR go and see Mrs J in the Foods room during a sportsbreak. All other information is in the notice. PLEASE make sure you read it carefully.

I hope that you are focused on achieving the goals you have set for the second half of the year and know exactly what you need to do to meet your goals. Remember to make the most of the opportunities given to you.

PE & ACTIVATE

Our PE days this year are TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY.

You are required to wear your PE uniform for these sessions. We will also be going out for Activate on Mondays and Thursdays, which means that your PE uniform should be at school 5 days a week, every week!

This week at sports breaks the Kauri teachers are prepared to take you for a quick dip during sports breaks before we have singing assembly practises in the afternoons. Please be prepared.

The school PTA is currently running a Christmas raffle and has asked each class to provide items for the baskets. Our class has been asked to provide baking goods. A HUGE THANK YOU to Vaughan, Grace, Josh and McKenzie who have already contributed and also to Vaughan who was the first person in the school to return money for the raffle tickets he had sold!!! Fantastic effort Vaughan I am very proud of you!! A small item of baking goods is needed from each person in the class to help make someone’s Christmas a bit better! Keep selling the raffle tickets for $1 each. The last day for money and tickets to be returned is 6^th December.

A reminder that we will be swimming on Tuesdays so you will need to have your togs organised. If you are unable to swim then I need a letter from home giving the reason for not swimming and how long you won’t be swimming for.
