Are you ready?

Julie Cronin from Te Mata School Home & School Committee

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 ๐Ÿ–

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.
