Please return all green fun run cards, if the children have sponsors or not as soon as possible to school. Thank you to one an all for supporting this PTA Fun Raiser. regards Gillian - PTA Teachers attending Paid Union Mtg - 26 JuneDear Parents and Caregivers,
You may be aware of the nationwide crisis in recruiting and retaining teachers. While there are many more children coming into the school system, there are not enough new teachers being trained. Urgent and significant changes are needed to ensure that the teaching profession can attract the people it needs and to ensure class sizes do not start to increase. On Tuesday, 26 June, the teachers from this school will be attending a NZEI Te Riu Roa paid union meeting regarding the Kua Tae Te Wā - It’s Time campaign. The campaign aims to free teachers to teach and Principals to lead, by getting the additional support and staff that schools need. The meetings will allow our teachers to discuss how the Ministry of Education has responded to changes that the union is seeking. Our teaching staff are members of NZEI and legally entitled to attend this meeting. The teachers will be leaving school on Tuesday, 26 June, to attend their paid union meeting which starts at 2pm. I strongly encourage parents/caregivers to make arrangements to pick their child/children up from school by 1.30pm on Tuesday, 26 June. If you are unable to pick your children up then, please advise us so that your children can be supervised that afternoon. I appreciate that this creates some inconvenience for families. However, I encourage you to support your teachers as they strive to achieve the changes which will safeguard quality education for all children and ensure we make teaching an attractive profession for graduates. Anyone who may need help with arrangements should contact the office. Please note - After School Care will operate as per normal, and if you require your child to attend please advise the office via school stream, website, email or phone. Regards, Robin Harris, Principa

We cannot safely run the programme without parent help. If you are able to help us regularly on one of these mornings ( or both) for the six weeks that would be greatly appreciated. We need you to be there for both time slots- 1 hour. If you are able to help us on a more casual basis could you let us know so we can call you if someone is going to be away. Timetable is: Room 9 - 9.00 - 9:30am Room 10 and 11 - 9:30 - 10.00pm This notice is also available on school stream with the form attached.

Please keep unwell students at home. We have had to send a number of students home today unwell, some of whom presented symptons on arrival at school. We have a tummy bug moving through the classrooms. Stand down period for a child presenting with vomiting/diarrhea is 24/48 hours - dependent on last episode. If children are not kept home, the risk of the illness passing to other children in a school environment is high. Thanking you for your consideration. Term 2 Sports start dates.Whack n Run

NZ Playhouse - Red Riding Robyn Hood was enjoyed by students at Salford on Thursday 15th March.
"King George has lost the plot! In his never-ending quest to build bigger palaces, giant walls and enormous statues of himself he has raised the Land Far Far Away tax rate to 101%! Jack and Jill can’t afford to get a pail of water, Little-Bo-Peep has to sell her sheep, and even the Princess is so hungry she ate the pea. When even the bravest of Knights are too scared to stand up to him, the Land Far Far Away cries out for a hero to put a stop to the madness of the King. Luckily their cries are heard by a mysterious red hooded figure with a bow and arrow, a basket of goodies and some very unlikely ‘Big Bad’ backup." Newsletter - 12th March 2018

It’s the crime of the century that’s too much to bear. Bear-boy-band singing sensation Baby Bear has been kidnapped! When a ransom note is discovered asking for an unlimited supply of ‘Just Right Porridge’ all hands and paws point straight at Goldilocks.
Facing a life sentence of uncomfortable beds, chairs and cold porridge she turns to the only cool-cat capable of cracking the case, the mysterious super-sleuth in boots known to all as the ‘Pet Detective’. Goldilocks discovers that sometimes when everything seems too hard, all you need is a friendly feline and a whole lot of perseverance to make it all just purrrrrrrrrfect.
