    Term 4 Week 3 

    Taranaki Tennis Primary School Championships 2019


    Congratulations Lorcan Honeyfield and Jack Hurley for representing Whenuakura School
    Hi everyone,

    Term four is always a busy time with assessments being completed, production, three touch teams, and the
    many other school and cluster events we have. We are proud of our learners who consistently show our school
    CORE values and aim for excellence in all that they do. You can also stay updated with our school calendar by
    downloading the ‘SKOOL LOOP’ app on your devices.

    Halloween
    We had a spooktacular day dressing up for Halloween. Check out more photos on our school Facebook page.

    Cycle Safety/Wheels day


    Bike safety was a very valuable learning experience to add to our school curriculum.Our learners enjoyed
    navigating through a complicated course where they had to adhere to road signs and ensure they were signalling
    correctly.
    Wild, Wild, West School Disco
    Thank you to all of the children who came to our school disco. There were games, dancing, and awesome
    costumes! We are so proud of our impact team who showed excellent leadership and organisation.
    The Impact Team would like to thank everyone who helped with decorations, food, and music and Andrew and
    Alison Hurley for the Hay Bales.
    The total raised was $293.80 and all funds go towards senior camp.
    School Pool
    Thank you to Geoffrey Miller for getting our school pool up and running. We would like to also thank Lani Phillips
    who will be looking after it for the 2019/2020 summer.
    Maize Maze - Fright Nights
    SAVE THE DATES (tentative) All School Families
    28th/29th March 2020
    6th/7th/8th March 2020
    The Maize Maze Fright Nights are our biggest school fundraiser. In the past these funds have allowed us to have
    a third classroom and much more. It always draws in a very large crowd over the two weekends and requires lots
    of dedicated helpers. These dates will be confirmed closer to the time but please mark them in your calendars
    now. If you have any questions about how the fundraiser works, please let us know.

    ​Communication
    Our communication strategies help us inform and engage parents on matters related to the school. Current,
    clear, and consistent information helps staff, students, and parents feel connected and confident that they know
    how the school operates, and what is going on in the school.
    Absences - Call the school office on 06 2738029 or message the school Facebook Page.
    If you would like to discuss anything please make an appointment time to see the classroom teacher. This can be
    done by calling the office or messaging the school Facebook page.
    We are available to answer calls to the office between 8.30am and 3.30pm Monday to Friday, and Facebook
    messages from 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday. If you contact us outside of these times, please do not
    expect a response until the next working day.

    School Donations
    We would thank all families who have generously made payment of the school donation for this year.
    From 2020 our school has opted into the donations scheme and you will no longer be asked for donations. This
    means that the Government will pay our school $150 per student per year. If you would like more information
    on this, you can visit ​https://www.education.govt.nz/school/funding-and-financials/fees-charges-and-donations/
