 Back to School, Monday August 31 Gate opens at 8.30 am. 

The staff and Board of Edmund Hillary School are delighted to welcome back all our students this coming Monday. 

Here are some guidelines so you know what we are doing. 

Guidelines for coming back to school.

PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILD AT HOME IF S/HE IS SICK.. HELP US TO LOOK AFTER EVERYONE. 

If your child is sent to school sick and we cannot contact you, Raina will visit your home.

 ● All children are to be dropped off and picked up at the gate by the carpark on Hunua Road. All other gates will remain closed. 

● School Times: 8.40am to 2.30pm 

● Whanau need to make an appointment with the office to come into the school. ● We will have school staff at the gate to welcome students back. 

● A teacher will be waiting at the classroom door, to greet them, make sure they sanitise and show them to their place. There will be no playing in the playground before or after school. 

● Each learner has their own chair, a special place to sit and put things. 

● There will be a nice safe distance between each child’s place. 

● Each child who has one, needs to bring the device and charger to school. ● Morning tea will be provided (fruit and milk) 

● Please send sandwiches and a named water bottle. 

● Keep our children healthy, no fizzy drink or cheap unhealthy packs from the dairy. 

We will review our procedures in a week or two. Our aim is to keep our children, staff and whanau as safe as we can over this early stage.

 All calls to the office:

Dereck's Birthday Party in Room 3.

 We had a wonderful time on Dereck's birthday when his whanau came to school to share a  birthday party for everyone in Room 3. It was a special party with kai and a delicious birthday cake. 

A very big thank you to Dereck's whanau! 

Fasi Sings and Fasi's Fish

It's a wild and windy day here in Kawakawa Bay!  I will look forward to seeing you all at school when we go back. 

Have you been enjoying your learning packs? I would love to see any stories you write.

What part of learning TV do you like best?

I hope you enjoy the stories about Fasi! The boy in the story is Pita. Pita from R3, is it you?!

Happy Reading
