Are you ready?
Two more days of freedom, for the kids, and insanity for us parents and then we are back to it.
Hands up who is looking forward to it 🖐
As much as I love my kid, I'm ready for the holidays to be over. But only because I love working with the little monsters, no matter how loud and crazy they (we) get. Those who have seen me teach at Hilton Brown know this to be true.
I hope you are all ready. Jumpers and jackets all cleaned and aired. Those forgotten lunches hosed out of the bottom of the school bag, and the togs ready for swimming. Yup, I said swimming. Junior swimming lessons start in bout 6 weeks on Monday September 4th. The week after the cross country.
It's going to be a busy term for everyone, so get your rest this weekend and be ready to roar into it next Monday.
And I hope you've all booked your parent teacher meetings. They are the second week of term.
We are also still accepting donations for our fundraiser event in September.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

A short Mitre 10 Park Hawke's Bay survey is open for people who don’t currently use the park.

Let them know what you think!
Topics include:
🏀 Awareness: Are you aware of the activities offered?
🏉 Perception: Do you feel the park is for everyone?
🏏 Access: Are there barriers keeping you from visiting?
