We have moved our teacher-only to Monday, July 27th. Please add this date to your calendar. As a reminder, our teachers will be using the day to focus on the Refreshed Curriulum and looking at the new assessment tools that are being implemented. 

We have changed the date because an opportunity has come up for our learning support staff members to have a day of PLD as well in Kaikohe. 

There will be NO children at school on this day and there will be NO Oscar.

WACKY HAIR DAY FUNDRAISER - a note from our senior leaders

Please check your childs bag for the note that was sent home last week. 

Our names are Freya and Victoria, we are House Captain for Rawhitiroa. We have been working hard to come up with ideas for fundraisers to help some of my peers get to the snow in September! This is a very exciting trip that has been running since the year 2000, that is 26 YEARS this year! Mrs Edwards has agreed to a mufti day which means NO UNIFORM if you are participating in Wacky Hair Day!!

On Friday 12th June, we are going to have a WACKY HAIR DAY Fundraiser!

There will be lots of exciting prizes up for grabs for the WACKIEST HAIR! 

Please see pre-order packages below that can support the Year 5 & 6 students get to the snow. Pre-orders are ideal to ensure we have enough food. 

  We are so grateful for any support. Please return pre-order slip before Wednesday 10th June
