Bits and Bobs

Year 6 Camp 5th-7th and 7th-9th Sept Year 6 students need to get their permission slips and medical forms for camp back by this Friday 19th. 
Weekly camp meetings are being held to give children information and answer questions.
By the end of this week they will know which camp they are going on. Friendships and behaviour will be taken into account in the groups as we want everyone to have a happy camp. We will be unable to fully please everyone however. Children are encouraged to use camp as an opportunity to get to know people better and we hope new friendships are formed as a result.
Unfortunately there is a clash of dates with the Canterbury Winter Tournament which could potentially affect the Junior A netball and soccer teams and the hockey team. Some children may have to accept that they cannot play in that tournament if they qualify. 

Moving to Van Asch
We will be sorry to say goodbye to our Sumner friends but it will be good to have our own spaces and real classrooms again. We will be close enough to Sumner to keep up contact. It has been especially good to have the opportunity to play sport with Sumner. Team 2 have been amazing at Sumner. They have worked hard and played well. They have looked out for each other and maintained their enthusiasm for learning. I know this will continue. They will be excited to see their van Asch classrooms and the beautiful site
