We have a vision that all our children will leave Little River School proud and confident in who they are. Confident because they have the academic skills to choose what they want to do, and confident in their relationships with people so they can adjust to any educational situation.
Little River School is a great place to be. We believe the children get an excellent grounding at our school which enables them to meet with success and develop skills needed for life long learning.

Basketball
Its that time of year again, Basketball starts term 2. Runs for 12 weeks.
Two formats
Year 5 and 6 is a team of 3 (plus subs) playing half court
Year 7 and 8 is full court, 5 a side (plus subs)
I need a show of hands please of what kids would like to play this season.
And from the parents:
* A commitment to help with transport - as games are Monday night in Rolleston.
* And we need a COACH
I do all the Admin for the teams, but don't play, so we need a coach for each team.
Also given the cost of fuel, to get the kids to Rolleston, we will be asking each child to pay $4 each week to the driver of the car they travel to basketball in.
I need to get team entries in, so please let me know ASAP if your child is interested.
Training will be Thursday after school in the Hall.
Thanks!!

VERSION 3
I want to thank the whanau who filled out their permission forms in a timely manner and were clear on how many tamariki they could take. I would also like to thank the whanau who communicated any changes before the transport list was completed. Organising transport for 22 children and bikes is not straightforward, especially when I am chasing forms, transport, clarity and bikes up until the last minute. I apologise that I am now sending out VERSION 3 of the transport list. I am feeling distinctly ruffled.
Year 5/6 tamariki need to be at the event and ready by 8.45
Year 7/8 tamariki need to be at the event and ready by 10.45
Tomorrow
Freya, Elsie, Ollie = Solo.
Manning: Brayden and William
Rowley: Isla, Niamh, Isla
Hammond: Charlotte and Robert
Malcolm: Chanelle, Sean

Please contact the parent taking your child to organise pick up and bike transport.
Pack the correct clothing and food and drink. It could could be hot, it could be cold, it could be windy, it could be sunny.
VERSION 2
Sorry for the late notice around this.It is very difficult to organise children and bikes when I do not have permission forms in and children do not have their bikes organised even now. Also the last minute changes have made things very very problematic. Everyone owes me chocolate.
