Newsletter 32 - December 3rd 2021

Kia ora koutou

It seems hard to believe that in just a week and a half the school year is over. How did that happen? It’s been a flat out week with another one coming up next week which will see us finishing off the swimming we started a couple of weeks ago.

The swimming was originally booked in for the first two weeks of term but the delays with the pool roof meant we had to find alternative times. The team at REAP were very accommodating and shifted a few things around so they could fit us in.

Also of huge support has been Route 6 Cafe. Over the past few weeks, it has been my privilege to take our Silver Award recipients out to lunch at Route 6. We’re very grateful for the support given to us by them and I have several experts that will verify that the items on the kids menu are delicious.

Taking kids to lunch is certainly a highlight of the principal’s position. Less enjoyable is reading the updates in regards to Covid and the rules surrounding what we can and can’t do. There has been another update out which might again impact how we run our Year 6 prizegiving. I will seek further clarification and have a definitive update on our prizegiving for you on Monday. I appreciate your patience and cooperation in regard to this.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Board Secretary / Minute taker

The school Board would like to say a big thank you to Yvonne Muilwyk who has been our dedicated Minute taker for the past three years. Yvonne has done a great job accurately recording the discussions and decisions at our Board meetings.

If anyone would like to put in an expression of interest in the paid position of Board Minute taker for 2022, please contact Amanda Russell on botchair@lumsden.school.nz.
