Tēnā koe,

I hope the return to term time has gone well for you! Invercargill City Council’s Wee Delights competition is now in the home stretch, and we have had some great entries coming through from Invercargill and Bluff.

We would love to get as many tamariki involved in shaping the future of their community as we can.  

Tamariki can enter the competition as individuals or alongside their classmates. Wee Delights closes at 5pm on Sunday, 3 May.

 

Little projects. Big smiles.

We’re looking for local projects that will have a big impact on your neighbourhood.

We want to hear your idea for a project (one that costs $5000 or less) that will spark plenty of joy in your community, and help bring it to life.

Take part in our Wee Delights competition and your idea could be included in Council’s Long-term Plan 2027 – 2037.

Enter an idea and you’ll go in the draw to win an extra-special afternoon tea with Mayor Tom Campbell, plus an afternoon of fun at Splash Palace, for your whole class.

Invercargill and Bluff children aged between 5 and 13 are welcome to submit an individual entry, or a classroom entry.

Celebrate our community, and be part of planning its future.

If you have any questions regarding the competition, please do let us know – in the meantime, we look forward to seeing your entries!

Kā mihi,

Alana

Year 4 Team

Salford Rebels - Luca, Charlie J, Ava, Lily, Florence, Harriet - Parent assist - Renee Richardson, Holly Shannon and Naomi Daly - 

(This team teams more players - a registration has gone through, but if we only get 6 players, you will have to play 6 aside - so two more players at least please.  Send an email through to admin@salford.school.nz)

Salford Gems - Zoe, Aria, Rebekah, Ella, Lexi, Indi and Georgie - Parent assist Marie Meyer, Laura Newland and Alice Warnaar

(Again, this team could benefit from another player, but it MUST be a player who has played netball before)

 

All these teams have been registered in the Netty Festivals as well as the Term 2 competition.

Sorry for the late notice.

Football Southland have decided to call off this week of Junior Summer Football.

The combination of the wind and the occasional shower is making the weather a bit unpleasant for football.

We will see you all next week!

Kia ora Whānau,

On Tuesday 26th March there is an NZEI Paid Union meeting for all members. This affects the majority of our teaching staff.

To minimise disruption to lessons the staff will be atttending the afternoon session meaning that we ask for all children to be collected from school at 12:30pm lunchtime on Tuesday 26th March so that staff can get away to this meeting.

We will have minimal staff providing care in the afternoon for anyone who is unable to collect their child(ren) however this will be minimal. 

Please let your child(ren)'s teacher(s) know what your child is to do at 12:30 on the 26th March so that they can ensure this happens.

Are they:

• Being collected
• To make their own way home where an adult will be there to look after them or
• Staying at school.

After School Care will still operate as per usual for those who may need it.

Sushi Tuesday - can still also be ordered for children who will be staying at school during the afternoon.

Thank you for your support for the teachers to attend this meeting.
