Pet Day 2021 Thursday 30th September

Pet Day 2021 Thursday 30th September Click the link to enter.

Pet day is scheduled for Thursday the 30th of September. We are still planning to manage this even if we are at Alert level 2 as we can safely manage the number of spectators around our school site by spreading people out.

We need to get entries from students with what pets they are intending to bring along.

The timetable is attached with a few changes from previous years to hopefully make it easier for our invited judges. We have also moved the starting time to ease the pressure on families getting animals to school so early.

Please complete a separate entry form for each child.

Pet Day 2021

 

Term 4 Touch opportunity in Feilding. Sorry link wasn’t working.

Touch-Feilding 

 

We have the opportunity of entering some teams in the Feilding Touch module for term 4 on Thursdays. Games are played from 4-8pm at Victoria Park, Feilding.

This is available from year 1-8 depending on numbers. 

Teams would be mixed teams in:

Year 1-2

Year 3-4

Year 5-6

Year 7-8

 

We would need a minimum of 9 players in each team to ensure we don’t run short when players are unable to play.

 

We would also require some support managing teams at each week’s games.

 

Training will be held during lunchtimes each week. If you are interested in helping please indicate on the online form.

 

Entry fees which include uniforms, will cost $10 per student.

Please scan to complete the online form or contact the office to speak with me.

Latest Update on Start back at School for Level 2.

Morena everyone.

I have held off sending too many details until we received the latest update from the MOE. This has yet to arrive in my inbox but these are the plans for the next two days. 

As the Prime Minister has stated, schools have 48 hours to ensure that schools are ready for opening on Thursday 9th September. 
During today teachers will continue with online learning and tomorrow will be preparing for face-to-face teaching on Thursday. There are still a number of learning opportunities online for our tamariki can continue on with for Wednesday. All staff will be back at school on Wednesday where we will work through Production and Pet day scenarios along with classroom preparedness.
Those that have been involved in supervision at school will continue on Wednesday as planned. 
 
We want to thank each and every one of you for your help, engagement and proactiveness around our successful distance learning program. We cannot continue to make gains with our tamariki without a positive reciprocal relationship between home and school so it is really appreciated.
We’ll update you tomorrow when we hear further from the Ministry of Education.

 

Preparing for this week:

Those who are essential workers can you please advise by email that you will require supervision for your children on Monday and Tuesday. Please email principal@southmak.school.nz

Like many of you, we will be waiting in anticipation for Tuesday’s announcement or if it comes any earlier for alert level changes. We will be prepared and organized for whatever eventuates. There may be some changes to dropoff times or procedures when coming into school. There will be more informati0n as it comes to hand. 

Looking forward to another eventful went and whatever the week brings.
