Term 4 Week 1 Notices

Welcome back to Term 4!!

We hope you have all enjoyed the time off school and the children have rested well and are looking forward to getting back to their classmates and school routine! This term will be a busy one with production, swimming, and end of year celebrations.

COVID UPDATE: LEVEL 1 

Parents are welcome to come into school as has been the case in Level 2. 

(Please continue to use the contact tracing app and QR code placed at all three entrances). There will also be sanitising units at all gates. Please use them. We do however encourage you to drop your child at the gate as this gives students great self-management skills and independence, and enables students before school to engage more fully with other students and teachers.

There are no restrictions on numbers at gatherings, so you are welcome to come to our assemblies.

We will continue to encourage basic hygiene measures such as handwashing and use of sanitiser, cough and sneeze etiquette, regularly cleaning and disinfecting high touch surfaces.

Please keep your child home if they are unwell, or required to self-isolate.

FROM TOMORROW, the start of Term 4:

In the mornings from 8.25am there will be a teacher at the Church car park gate only. There will not be a teacher at the Ranolf or Carnot St gates. School will start at 8.45am. Please ensure that your child is at school prior to this. If for any reason you need to drop your child off later please make sure to come to class via the office and sign your child in.

Children will be permitted to play in the playground before school.

In the afternoon there will be a teacher at all 3 gates. There will be a pick-up zone for parents to pick up children without needing to get out of the car in the Church Carpark.

At the end of the day, school will finish at 3.00pm for all students, the ONLY EXCEPTION is that bus students need to leave class for the Ranolf St gate at 2.50pm.

 

Swimming!!!

This term we start swimming. Children need to bring their swimming togs and a towel every day of the week. They can also bring their swimming goggles if they have them. Kakano 7 will be swimming every second week (odd weeks) starting from Week 1, so this means we are swimming tomorrow.

 

Holiday Reading

The holiday reading log draw will be this Friday at assembly!!! Make sure to return your FILLED IN holiday reading log by Thursday. Please also return the children's holiday book packs to school.

 

Summer Uniform

Now that it is Term 4, the children need to be in summer uniform. The girls wear a summer dress with black sandals and the boys a different pair of summer shorts with a blue polo and black sandals. SUNHATS are also part of the summer uniform and the school rule is that if you don’t have a sunhat then you are not allowed to play outside so please make sure the sunhats are in bags!!!

Lots of parents have been in to sort out summer uniforms. Students are to start Term 4 in full summer uniform. Our Uniform Shop is open Mondays (8.30-9.00am), Wednesdays (2.30-3.00pm) & Fridays (8.30-9.00am) during term time. The girls’ summer dresses are currently only available from our school uniform shop. Please don’t forget children need to wear the school sun hats in term 4.

We also sell school uniforms via our school website. You can order and pay online and pick up your uniform from the school reception after you have been notified by email that the uniform is ready to pick up. Hopefully, this will be easier for those parents who find it difficult to get to our uniform shop.

Working Bee - Notice from Mr Macmillan

We intend to have a working bee on the third Saturday after the holidays, October 31st. There are a number of jobs that need to be done. I am always amazed at the support we get from you, so thank you in anticipation. Children are welcome and we will have a BBQ lunch.

Library - due to production rehearsals this term our library day has been changed to Friday

Assembly - Kakano 7 is hosting assembly in week 4. The date is Friday 6 November at 2pm. It is always lovely to have parents attend this if they are able to as it is quite a big accomplishment for the children to stand up in front of the school to lead the assembly.
