TERM 2

Welcome back to school for Term 2 2015.  It sounds like the Room Six children had lots of interesting experiences in the holidays and they have returned full of enthusiasm.

Make sure that you keep an eye on 'Upcoming School Events' and if you haven't 'Followed by Email' yet, click on the link for the Class Blog as well as your child's Blog.  

It's a great way to keep up with their learning!

The first opportunity to fund raise for our Term 4 Camp is a sausage sizzle for the Tri HB Duathlon on 21 June.  

I have to attend the Orienteering Champs on the same day so any parent help for the day would be welcome.  If you are able to help, please contact me at school.
