Kia ora koutou katoa
We were delighted to have a visit at school today from Mark Solomon, head of Ngai Tahu. He is a very busy man and it was great that he took the time to come and visit our school.
A few notes, updates and reminders:
- Please remember that on Thursday night at 7pm and on Friday morning at 9 am we have arranged for Parenting Workshops to be run by the Methodist Mission. These workshops are free but please RSVP to Jan in the office so we can arrange catering.
- Good news! Today work started on replacing our badly damaged netball court.
- We send a huge thank you to Pak n Save Sylvia Park, U-Pic Products of Dunedin and the Franklin Baptist Church from Pukekohe who have donated snacks, soup and flasks that will be given out to the children today.
- Many thanks to Marina View School from Auckland and Tawa Primary School in Wellington who have donated the fruits of their fundraising directly to Freeville School.
- Please remember that the washing machine in the new relocatable classroom is available for you to use.
- Sporting Chance Grant - If you have a child playing sport, or want your child to play sport but can't afford equipment or subs please talk to your child's classroom teacher. They have a grant form and you can apply to have those costs covered.
- Food parcels - If you need help with Food Parcels please call 0800 HUNGRY or go to the Delta Trust, North Avon Rd near Standmore Rd, or visit the Salvation Army. They are happy to help.
- Remember we have the Methodist Mission advocates here at school every Monday morning from 8.30am to 9.30am. They can help you to access any assistance you might require.
- The Earthquake Response Centre at St Faith's Church is the place to go for information and assistance on a wide range of earthquake issues.
- I have heard that if you have heating issues the best thing to do is to go to the EQC Hub on Bower Ave and see them directly. You'll have more joy than telephoning.
Nga mihi ki a koutou
