Congratulations to all the Kahurangi students who participated at Senior Swimming Sports last Thursday.  Well done to those students who received 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Swimming placings! 

It was a fantastic SUNNY day, with great whanau turn out!

Tau kē rawa atu koutou!

Here are some highlights from the day...

Gala Helpers

The Gala is fast approaching and we still need some parent helpers. If you could provide an hour or two to help on the gala day, or help with setting up on the Saturday we would really appreciate it.

If you can help, please contact Kate on 021 167 5009 or pta@whakarongo.school.nz

Friendly Reminder

Kia Ora Whānau,

A friendly reminder that we have Swimming Sports tomorrow.

ALL children will need the following:

• Togs and towel (+ Swimming cap if possible)
• School jersey/jacket as well as pants to put on in case they get cold in between events
• A packed lunch and drink bottle for water
• Sunhat
• We also advise that children apply sunscreen before coming to school in the morning as we will be in the outside area of the Makino.  Sunscreen will be provided at the event also.
  
  

In case of bad weather, a decision will be made in the morning whether Swimming Sports will go ahead.

On another note, students have been exploring the Prodigy maths app. We have suggested that they download the app, to make it easier for them to load progress. However, this app is not compulsory.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Kia Ora mātua mā,

A decision has been made to sit the "Great Kiwi Science, English and Maths Competition", in place of the ICAS assessments. Therefore, students will no longer need to sit ICAS, so please disregard all ICAS entry forms. 

Great Kiwi Entry forms and parent information have been sent home with the students today.

Please contact the school office for any future information that you may require...

Ngā mihi,

Kahurangi Pouako.
