Kia ora Parents and Whānau
The first week of acting for the Acting Principal has started out as a smooth transition.
This week with some staff also away, we have managed and students have been
resilient with the changes to cover classrooms. Tinō pai.

Cross Country
Last week, we held our annual cross country with Te Pakihi o Maru school at the Oamaru Racecourse. We were blessed with a brilliant fine day and the grass being dry. It was very pleasing to see the all children competing in the races and giving it their best shot.

A parent mentioned "how amazing every single child was and how our kids supported the slower children and cheered them on and even walked and ran with them was truly humbling to see well done St Jo's kids!!! "
Thank you to our amazing parent/siblings who offered to be marshalls in order for us to run this event. Your help is always very valued. The trophies and certificates will be presented at assembly on Friday 8th September at 2.30 pm. Parents are most welcome to attend.
Cross Country on Monday. Each student can be commended for competing against
the North Otago area and doing their very best to reach the finish line. The
afternoon proved to be an improvement on the horizontal rain and wind from last
year.
Burns Memorial Art Exhibition
Classes have been busy creating art pieces for the Burn Memorial Exhibition and
would be worth your while viewing your child’s art over the upcoming holiday. More
details are as follows.
Burns Memorial Art Exhibition #53
Until 29 October 2023 | All over the Forrester Gallery!
Every year school students from around the Waitaki share their artistic talents with
us. The Forrester Gallery asks all the schools and early childhood education centres
in the Waitaki District to contribute student artwork to the Burns Memorial Exhibition.
It is a showcase for the community and a celebration of children’s art.
Play Trailer
The play trailer was once again a hit and students enjoyed playing with the
equipment across the two days. Students had lots of fun using their imagination to play
with a wide variety of play equipment from stilts to Swiss balls. In a digital age, it is
heartening to see children enjoy the play equipment and use it in the most creative of
ways.
