The first of these will be tomorrow night (Thursday 22nd June) at 7pm. It will be approx 2 hours with time for a cuppa and a quick chat in between. We will offer a second evening early in Term 3 and then guage interest or need from there.

Puanga

With the public holiday for Matariki being observed in the holidays this year we have decided to do something different!

Parents and whanau are invited to come and share soup with the children on Tuesday 25th July from 12.30pm – 1pm.

Each class will make soup to be shared.

More details (and requests for donations of vegetables) to follow.

STUDENT ABSENCES

A friendly reminder, if you child is going to be away from school, could you please let the school know. With the Ministry of Education cracking down on Truancy, the school is required to provide an reason as to why your child is absent.

This can be done either by:

Telephone (06) 764 8643
email: office@ngaere.school.nz, or
the skool loop app.

Thank you.

PTA Update

THE QUIZ HAS BEEN POSTPONED

UNTIL A LATER DATE!

Due to the number of other Quiz type events on at the same time and the slow uptake of table sales the PTA made the difficult decision to postpone the quiz. Apologies to anyone who has already committed to the evening.

The PTA have some left over stocks of popcorn they wish to sell. First in first served, available through the school office.

Fruit flavoured $2, Caramel flavoured $1.50 and Microwave $

(Please note the Caramel & Fruit are near their expiry date)

The Term 3 Fundraiser, Bobby calf tag fundraiser is no longer an option. This was a significant contributor to our fundraising , netting approx $5000 last year. As an alternative, if you are an ANCO supplier, please consider nominating our school as part of ANZCO Rural Schools’ sponsorship programme.

We are investigating another fundraiser which we hope to be able to confirm next week.
