Hi all

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow night at 7pm is the consultation with our Māori Whanau in the staffroom at school. There will be cake and hot drinks and time to chat together about the future of tamariki.

 

secondly

School Pool - Caretaker - Situation Vacant
The school pool requires someone to care for it over the summer months. The pool opens Monday 16 November and closes for the season mid March 2027. The position is 1 hour a day 7 days a week. It involves putting the pool cover on at night and taking it off in the morning, water testing and keeping the changing rooms and surrounding area clean. Training is provided for water testing. Ideally this position suits someone living near school. If you are interested please contact principal@littleriver.school.nz or call in and see us.

Please feel free to share this around. No pool person - no pool! Which would not be good!

 

Many thanks

Hello all

I hope you have a had a wonderful holidays!

Eleanor and I are just sorting out senior technology for this term.

On November 4, 11, 18 (Wednesdays 12-3) we would love to have some clever adults come in and teach something to the tamariki. If we get enough helpers we could split these sessions in half 1.5 hours and 1 hour. 

We are hoping to have: sewing (Kealy)  cooking (Eleanor)  maybe robotics (have equipment need adult) maybe gardeing, maybe weaving - or anything else that comes to mind. We have lots of tools for building...    who knows what talents you all have!

 

For the juniors if anyone would like to come and help with sewing on tuesday afternoon from 1.30-3 I and the tamariki would be exceedingly grateful. 

Many thanks

Kealy and Eleanor

Dear parents / caregivers

If you have paid for tickets and haven't already received these, these 'tickets' in the form of a programme will be sent home with your child today. Please bring these with you to the performance.

I am handing out a few at the door for those 'out in the community'.

 

Thank you for your support :)
