Week 5 ... it's nearly Ski Day!

Can you believe that we are more than half way through Term 3? Where has the time gone? Here's some of the exciting things to come this week:

ASB - Financial Literacy

• Yr 7's on Monday afternoon and Yr 8's on Tuesday afternoon

Go on, ask them what they have learned, you'll be surprised with what they know!

Koru Games

• Tuesday 13th & Wednesday 14th Sept
• Students will travel by bus, to and from the games except for the 2 teams who are playing in Prebbleton (who will be transported in parent cars)
• Cost is $40/student which covers transport and entry fees

Students have started practicing on Thursdays with Mr B in preparation for the games. We are also still looking for more parents to help coach/manage a team for the event. You don't need to commit to both days, but if you could, we would really appreciate assistance. Click here to CONTACT ME (Vikki) to advise on which day & sport you would prefer.  I can't wait to hear from you!

Kapahaka Festival

• Thurs 15th Sept - Ohoka School Community Hall

Students have been rehearsing every Friday and are sounding fierce! I can't wait to experience my 1st festival!

Ski Day

It's this Wednesday! This will be my 1st experience playing in snow! Can you tell I'm just a little excited? Students who are not skiing are expected to be attending school and an alternative program will be running.

Cantamath Competition

• This Wednesday (24th Aug)
• Yr 7's involved will be leaving school at 2.45 to head to Horncastle Arena
• Yr 7 event begins at 4pm and the Yr 8 event starts at 5pm
• Both competitions will be finished by 6pm. Please advise Linda ASAP if there are any issues with picking up your student on time.
• Yr 7 Reserves are welcome to join us at the venue but transport will need to be arranged by their parents.

Good luck to our teams!

Sausage Sizzle

• This Friday

Please remind your student to bring their money and order their sausages ($2 each) in the library before school on Friday. 

Uniforms

It's getting warmer (well, it's all relative I guess!) and we seem to be building our collection of unclaimed jackets/jumpers. Do any of these look familiar?    

This lonely collection were all left, unloved, in Aspire at the end of today. Mostly they are un-named, which makes it difficult for them to find their way back onto the loving arms of their owners. If your students are feeling the cold, get them to check the jackets here for theirs!

That's all the exciting news from us! Have a fantastic week and feel free to pop in to say hi!
