Dear Parents/Caregivers

COUNTRY FAIR

Where do we begin? There was such overwhelming support from our school community with

a real sense of everyone pitching in, making our Country Fair such a great success. Special

mention needs to be made of so many people – a task too difficult to do in this newsletter. At

this stage it looks as though takings from yesterday will be approximately $22,000 - $23,000

which is amazing! A huge thank you to everyone who supported such a wonderful day.

Jennifer & Jo

As there are still several raffle cards to be returned we have postponed drawing the raffles

under Police supervision until Friday. Results will be in next week’s newsletter.

PLEASE RETURN ALL RAFFLE CARDS BY THURSDAY.

See over for the Silent Auction results.

MARAE VISIT – Seniors

We slowly walked onto the Marae as the caller Heidi,

welcomed us on. Following the speeches we had to hongi.

We then presented the Tangata Whenua with a koha of a

native tree. There was a prayer before we ate. We then

worked in workshops which were poi, rakau sticks, flax

weaving and Taiaha. I loved going to the Marae. It was a

great experience and I really do hope that I can go back

when I’m older.
