    From

    the

    Choir
    On Wednesday night, after many practises, our school choir performed at the Civic Theatre. There were no individual
    items this year, but the mass choir made up of various schools performed with Jacqui Clark. This is a huge event to
    organise and we are very grateful to the Principals and teachers who do all the organising. Our choir looked great and
    performed just as well and obviously had a great time. A big thank you to Mrs White for all the effort she has put into the
    organisation of our own New River choir. We have had a lot of comments from teachers at other schools about how great
    our children were. They made us feel very proud.

    Oh my goodness, it has been so busy lately, and
    there is not much chance of a let up before the end of
    this term and into Term Four. For those of you who
    came to watch and support the school during our
    whole school item at Polyfest, thank you very much.
    It is really important for our young performers to be
    able to look out and see all the familiar faces of
    family and friends smiling back at them. For some, it
    was the first time ever on a stage in front of a big
    audience, so they did very well. For our seasoned
    campaigners in the Kapa Haka and Pacifica groups,
    it was a great opportunity to show off their talents and
    entertain the crowd. The Kapa Haka group are just
    warming up, and will be performing at the
    Putangitangi in the second week of Term Four where
    the emphasis is more on competition rather than
    entertainment. There were some lovely photos taken
    by professional photographers. These are available
    to purchase on-line at Ruffer Photography.

    Our 2015 ERO report has now been confirmed and


    will be on-line in approximately two weeks. The
    report was very positive and affirming that we are
    heading in the right direction. If you would like to
    read the full report, a copy will be available at the
    school office. All ERO reports have suggestions for
    future direction, but there arent any surprises in our
    report and there is nothing that we hadnt already
    planned for or discussed.
    Have a warm weekend.

    School Photographs
    Last Monday our school photographer turned up to do school photos, but forgot to tell us he was coming! Because of his
    busy time schedule, we went ahead and did classroom and individual photos. He will be back to do family photos on
    Monday 14 September 2.00 PM in the afternoon. For those parents with pre-schoolers, please be at school at 2.00pm.
    You should have already received information about the family photos and returned a permission slip.

    Writing Open Day


    Next Wednesday, we will be having a Writing Open Day. So far this year we have had Reading and Maths Open Days.
    This is an opportunity to visit your childs classroom and see first hand a normal every day writing programme. You are
    welcome to sit back and watch or get involved and join in if you want. Each classroom will be sending home invitations to
    let you know what time, as not all classes have writing at the same time of the day.
    Baked Bean and Spaghetti Breakfast
    The Student Council decided last term that one of the projects
    they would like to do this year was to provide a Friendship Seat
    in the playground. This seat was for anyone that felt sad, lonely
    or unhappy to sit on during breaks. Senior students would then
    support them to either find someone to play with, teach them a
    game or maybe just have a chat if they have a problem.
    We tried to find a second hand seat, but havent been able to, so
    have decided to try and raise some money to purchase one. To
    do this, we will be having a Baked Bean or Spaghetti
    Breakfast next Friday to raise money to buy a seat. This will
    cost $1.00 and children can have a nice warm breakfast to start
    their day. The Breakfast will be available from 8.15 am next
    Friday, 18 September.

    Koha Kai
    The time is near, Koha Kai will start with us at the beginning of Term four. For a gold coin donation, your child can get a
    home cooked meal on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. As we are only beginning, we will have to try out different
    methods of ordering and organisation. Different aspects of organisation may change over the first couple of weeks. To start
    with, we will try doing the ordering at the office. Class lists will be available to tick options and a container for the payment.
    Air New Zealand Boeing 737
    We had a really nice phone call last week inviting us to take 35 children to the airport to board and view a Boeing 737. It is
    about to be taken out of commission and is doing a farewell tour around the country. Our school was lucky enough to be
    chosen and Air New Zealand even paid for the bus.
    Unfortunately because of choir commitments, some of the original children chosen couldnt go, but those that did were
    amazing. They were all so well behaved, respectful, great listeners and asked lots of good questions. A big thank you to Air
    New Zealand, we really appreciated that you thought about us.

    Notices and ordering forms went home earlier this week. If you
    didnt get one or have lost it, you can get another one from the
    school office, where there is a box to put it in along with the
    $1.00 payment. You are welcome to put in more money for a
    donation toward the seat if you wish.

    Swimming
    Yesterday was the last day of swimming, which makes everyone give a sigh of relief. It is always a mixed up muddled up
    time for school. Children have made great progress, and if you dont do it already, it would be great if you could continue to
    take your child to the pool. The more often they go, the more confident they become. They may not always be the best
    swimmer, but it is so important that if they end up in water, that they have enough confidence not to panic and have the
    ability to stay afloat. A big thanks to Mrs Dallas for all her organisation, Mrs Simons for organising spare togs and towels,
    all parents who helped out and our Teacher Aides.
