Pet Day

Pet day is on tomorrow regardless of the weather.

It is a whole school mufti day.

Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Sausage Sizzle

As you may be aware we will be running a sausage sizzle at lunchtime (1 pm) tomorrow. If the weather cancels Pet Day, the sausage sizzle will still go forward.  Each sausage sizzle costs $2 each and will go toward lowering the price of leavers hoodies for the year 8 students.

Note: The sausages are cheese flavoured, so if anyone has any allergies please let us know on the day, so we can work around it because there will be very minimal non-cheese sausages.

Also, we will be selling raffle tickets for a grocery hamper full of goodies! So be in to win, only $2 a ticket. We will be selling the raffle tickets alongside the sausage sizzle. Tickets will be sold during lunchtime, and drawn at Friday assembly!

Sincerely: Molly, Kassi & Sariah (on behalf of the year 8 students)

Pet Day

We will make a decision whether Pet day will go ahead tomorrow (Wednesday) at 2.30 pm. An alert and an email will be sent tomorrow afternoon.

Check the school newsletter for times etc under Pet day.

St Joseph’s Parents & Friends Group – Waipukurau

Ever wondered who we are or what exactly do we do?
Do you want to be involved in the school but not sure how?
Are you able to a meeting once a month? Either in person or via zoom.
We are in desperate need of new people to help us. We need a minimum amount of people to continue the work we do fundraising to put the extras, the nice to haves or the much needed into the school for our kids.
We need your stunning and helpful personality. You don’t have to be full of great idea’s – just willing to help build on them, nor do you need to be available for every fundraiser – just as long as we can share the load. There’s many areas of fundraising that will suit people – planning, organizing, doing, fun, friendship and making a difference.
Please come along to our meeting this coming Monday at 7pm in room 2 at the school. Find out more about us and we are sure you will catch the vibe and want to jump on board to make a difference to our children and school.
We really hope to see some new faces!
The PFG committee.

Whole School Mass

We are excited to be sharing a special Assumption of Mary Mass this Sunday 14th August. You will not want to miss the sensational singing and involvement of our students in this service. We ask that all students be present looking sharp in the school uniform. Following mass, we will enjoy a light refreshment in the hall foyer. If each family can bring a plate of finger food to share that would be most appreciated.

Drop off and Pick up times

As the wind swirls and the rain falls heavily from the sky it is super important to be mindful when dropping off and picking up our students. Our drop off time is 8.25 am at the earliest to 8.50 am and pick up time is 2.55 pm. A reminder that children and parents need to use the school crossing on Russell Street if coming along this route. When dropping your child/children off by car please either park on the side of the road or use the church car park. Please keep an eye out for children in the car park. Don’t park on the yellow lines or in the bus zone or use the staff car park. You can drop the student off on River Tce as there is a stile they can use.

Parents are welcome to drop off and pick up students from their classrooms. Keep safe!

Friday Pie Order

Pie lunch order forms will be coming home today due to Onga 7’s tomorrow.

Please hand the order form and correct change to Room 2 on Thursday morning.

Parent Election Reminder:

A reminder that nominations close tomorrow at noon Wednesday 3rd August.

We have split the Mini and Kwiks into 2 pools to complete another round.
Thank you to the volunteers that make our hockey such a success each season!
