KIA ORA WHAANAU! 

ANNOUNCEMENT - THE WINNING CLASS FOR THE TRIP TO NINJA VALLEY NEXT TERM IS...

TUATAHI - WHAEA BONNIE'S CLASS WITH 95.3% ATTENDANCE THIS TERM! 

Followed closely by Tuarua on 94%, Tuatoru on 93% and Harakeke on 91% 

We will announce the 100% Attendance winners from Week 7, 8 and 9 when we return in Term 2. A whopping 26 students achieved 100% attendance for the last three weeks of school. All of their names will go into the draw for a lunch shout with Matua Adam in Week 1.

A huge thank you for supporting our attendance this term. You are all superstars! 

Have a blessed Easter break and stay safe over the term holiday break. 

A reminder - our staff deserve a well-earned break so all staff will not be responding to emails in the holiday break. Any urgent questions please let them wait until at least the final days before Term 2 begins. Thanks for your support with this whaanau. 

Nga manaakitanga,

Matua Adam and the team at Te Paina

Kia Ora Whaanau, 

Please see attached a final camp letter with all the information you will need for the first day of camp - I know the kids are super excited!

If you have any further questions please contact Whaea Haley or Whaea Sarah - Please note they may be away from their emails during the first week of the break. Thank you for your understanding so they are able to have a well deserved break. 

Ngaa mihi,

Kia Ora all, 

MARKET DAY IS TOMORROW FROM 11AM TO 1PM. 

As always done in previous years, all classes will accept cash (the correct change or small change is appreciated) for all their stalls. For the Uniform sale (Anne's email), the table will be setup by the school office - Eftpos will be available for these purchases tomorrow. For all other purchases, please bring correct change or small cash amounts. 

A huge thank you to all of our whaanau who have generously donated goods for sale tomorrow! This is our second fundraiser for the term to accompany the hot cross buns fundraiser earlier this term. 

SCHOOL CLOSES AT 1PM TOMORROW FOR EASTER BREAK AND HOLIDAYS - Thank you for your support to ensure your tamariki are collected at this time. If you are attending the Market Day, you are more than welcome to take your children home when you have finished shopping! 

Any questions please direct them to your child's teacher. 

See you all tomorrow! Thanks for your support! 

Ngaa mihi, 

Team Te Paina
