The next PTA meeting is all set for Wednesday 23rd March at 7pm<\/strong> in the Hall (so we can socially distance). All welcome to attend. A big focus will be around sorting jobs and organisation of the Beautification Day which is on Saturday 26th March. Monster Dress Up Day is all locked in for Friday 1st April, so we are looking forward to seeing some amazing costumes. I have a few cool prizes to give out for those who have gone the extra mile\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Teaching Assistant Position:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Earlier in the week we filled the Teaching Assistant vacancy I had advertised a few weeks back.

We appreciate your support in still keeping kids home if they are sick or showing any of Covid-Like Symptoms. KidsHealth<\/a> has dropped a bunch of new resources if you are interested around caring for children with Covid<\/a> or why masks and airflow matters<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Technics Music:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are spaces available if you would like your child to be involved in this. You can email Heather at harmonyhouse@xtra.co.nz<\/a> or call her on 027 245 2780 for more information.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blood Drive:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A reminder to support the NZ Blood Service to come and give blood if you can at Massey University at the Student Lounge on the 14th\/15th March between 9.30-3pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pool Cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It has been awesome to see so many wh\u0101nau using our pool recently. Just a reminder that the cover needs to be away from the white suckers to make sure the water filters properly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Y-Kids April Holiday Programme:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bookings are now open for our Y Kids programme<\/a>, with a 10% early bird discount for every child registered before 27th March.

It costs $19 from 6.30am and $16 from 7am and includes breakfast and drop off to school.
