Update 23 March - Thanks

Kia ora koutou.

At Freeville School we have been astounded by the thoughtfulness and generosity of many the many schools throughout New Zealand who have sent us gifts, letters and cards.

Most people will know about the fantastic container load of care packages that arrived from Hastings Intermediate while we were closed, and the BBQ that they arranged for our community. That was an amazing day.

On our first day the children were given individual gift packs sent by Postgate School in Porirua. This was an awesome way for the children to start back at school. My son Ted called it, "Gift Day". It made what could have been a very nervous time, a very happy one.

Thank you letters to Postgate School

Children open their packs from Postgate School.

We have also received letters and cards from one of our past teachers, Fleur Tuck nee Cutforth's, class at Auckland Diocesan School for Girls and from the schools that have sent us the relocatable classrooms.

This afternoon our children enjoyed a performance from the Minstrel. This was arranged and paid for by Glenbervie School in Whangarei. You may remember that this is Tania Luke's (our new Team Leader) previous school.

We are very grateful to all the schools who have been so generous to us and our community.
