Birthday Greetings to:

Book Fair
The annual book fair was held this week and all sales gave a commission to the school to buy books for the library. On Wednesday was Book Character Dress Up day and children were invited to dress up as their favourite book character. Geronimo Stilton even paid a visit to the fair !!







Chocolate Fundraiser
We would like all the chocolates sold and the money to be returned to the office by next Tuesday 27th September.  If you have queries regarding this, please contact the office.

Found
A pink backpack was found in the carpark earlier this week.  Please come to the office to collect it if it belongs to you.


House Football Competition
It was lovely to see the children interact in the term football house competition and there were some very talented children playing football. The weather gods were kind to us again with the skies turning blue for the games.  A big thank you to our referees Antonio Frances-Rees, Lachlan Brookes and Ellen McAtameny from Sport Waitaki for refereeing our games and to Mrs Winiders and the House Captains for organising the games.  Well done Guzman House on being the overall winner.
