TE KURA O TE HAONUI PĀNUI
Thursday 15th December 2022 - Week 9 - Term 4
Kia Ora koutou, welcome to our Pānui for Week 9, our final pānui for 2022.
Today we celebrate our Year 6 graduates as they transition from Winchester School Te Kura o Te Haonui to Intermediate. As a parent, I am reminded of that feeling "where on earth did the last 6 years go?" Once you get to that stage, it feels like you blink and whoosh, time has disappeared.
I look at our Year 6 students with pride, as I'm sure you do too. They have grown so much over the year and indeed during the time that they have been at school. They are Confident, Creative, Connected, Communicators and are so ready for their next step. All the best Year 6s, thank you for everything you have done for our school, kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui.
Thank you to Sieda Hornby from The Party Company from organising the amazing balloon garlands - they looked amazing and the students loved them.
Finally from me, a big thanks to everyone for a great year!

PTA
PTA
Another year has flown by and it's time for the PTA to sign off for 2022!
A huge THANK YOU goes out to each and every person who has supported the PTA during the year, either by attending meetings, giving up your time to help with one or many of our activities, or by purchasing items from one of our many fundraisers - lunches, eggs, hot cross buns, calendars, ice blocks, disco tickets, umbrellas, plants, yummy stickers & the Car Boot Sale! Your support has meant we have been able to fund over $10,000 for new sports uniforms, purchase sunscreen for classrooms, treat the students to a Magic Show, provide funds for parents to attend Kauri team camp, contribute to the Year 6 Leavers Breakfast, and purchase outdoor play equipment! Fantastic effort by all!
ICE BLOCKS
We will have ice blocks available to purchase at both the front and back gates this Friday 1pm.
Ice blocks will resume the first Friday back at school in Term 1. Keep hold of any concession cards you haven't used up as they don't expire.
Thank you to Jess & Ian Robinson Bayleys Manawatu who have kindly offered to continue sponsoring our ice blocks for Term 1 2023! We are so grateful for your support.
