Term 1 ‘Learning for the Future ‘ 1st April 2015 Dear Parents & Caregivers, Tena koutou katoa On behalf of the staff I would like to say a big thank you for your support over Term 1, especially the assistance you have given us in classroom programmes, Home & School fundraising, and school trips. Our school cannot survive without your support, and we value your ideas, input and contribution. From all of us here at Kamo Primary have a wonderful Easter and a restful break with your children. Just a reminder that, Term 1 finishes on Thursday at 3pm, and Term 2 starts on Monday 20th April. Monday the 27th April will be the ANZAC public holiday this year. ANZAC Day Ceremony – Monday 20th April, 11:40am (First Monday of Term 2) Kamo Primary School will be holding a special ANZAC day ceremony next term to honour our fallen soldiers. A field of remembrance will be set up on the grass area outside the staffroom and Kowhai Syndicate to honour the sacrifices made across two World Wars. If you would like to join us at the ceremony, and maybe lay your own flowers at our field of remembrance, we encourage you to come along and join us. The format for the ceremony will be as follows… - National Anthems – Australia & New Zealand - Principals Address - Students to speak about ANZAC - Poppy wreaths to be laid by all classes - Parents and community members to lay flowers or wreaths at field of remembrance - Ode of Remembrance - ‘Lest we forget’ and Flanders Fields - Moment of silence – ‘Last Post ‘ - We are having this ceremony on Monday because Kauri syndicate Room’s 1, 2 & 4 will be on camp for the rest of the week. Reporting to Parents and Whanau Survey All completed surveys need to be returned to the school office by this Thursday, at the latest. Thank you to everyone who has returned them already. Hay Bales For Sale Turi Fricker, a parent of our school has 40 hay bales for sale, $8.00 a bale or 2 for $10.00. Turi will deliver them for you, or meet you at school for collection. All proceeds from the sale of the hay bales will go towards Kauri Syndicate camps. This is a very kind donation, and we really appreciate Turi supporting our school in this way. Turi can be contacted on 0272811166. Children Arriving Late to School We have been noticing that more and more children are arriving late to school in the mornings, sometimes up to 15-20 minutes late. We understand that in some circumstances children may be late, but in many instances, students are regularly late with no apparent reason. This is not only disruptive to the child who is late but to the entire class. If your child was late just 10 minutes a day, this would equal 50 minutes per week, which is nearly 1 ½ weeks per year! We ask parents and caregivers to be more vigilant in ensuring that your children arrive prior to the 8.55am bell, thank you.
