Congratulations to those children who took on the Tough Guy and Girl Challenge!  It looked like a lot of fun (and pain).  Make sure that you check out the Haumoana School Facebook page for photos.

Camp - thank you to those parents who have offered to assist at camp next term.  I will be contacting you shortly with more information. 

 Remember camp payments can be paid to the office for those who want to get a head start. 

Thanks to Jo, Jane and Dennis for helping out at the the sausage sizzle fundraiser on Sunday.

Kowhai will be running the assemblies this week.

This week we will be learning:
