SHOWCASE PRODUCTION

What an amazing evening last Thursday was
with our Showcase Production.

The class items were polished; the practice
and work that had gone into the preparation
was a credit to the teachers, student
teachers and the students themselves. A
massive thank you to all involved.

It was great to see the support from the
school community. Unfortunately not
everyone got to see the show as there was
a limit on the number of tickets available,
we apologise for this. There is a fire
safety number for the Aranui High School
hall, which made this out of our control.

We had the show videoed by Michael, a
school parent. Michael is going to make up a
CD that will be available for sale. Before he
does that he is looking for any photos or
videos that parents may have taken. If you
want to have these included please email to
admin@northnewbrighton.school.nz or pop
into the office with them on a pen drive.

We require these before Tuesday 1
st
July
please.



PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES

The mid year Parent Teacher
conferences will be held on Tuesday
1
st
July and Thursday 3
rd

Today all Year 4 - 8 students have
been given a form for parents to
complete the timeframe that suits
you and your family.

Please return these forms to the
office before Thursday 26
th
June.

Year 1 3 students will only be given
a form from their teacher if they
require an interview.

SCHOOL DONATIONS

Donation envelopes have gone home today to families. Whilst school donations are not
compulsory, the school very much appreciates when families pay them. Donations help
support our school programmes that Ministry of Education funding does not cover. We
offer extra Maths support, a Rainbow Reading Programme, and extra assistance to some of
our students.

On this envelope you will notice our photocopying fee. This is requested to be paid by each
student to help with annual photocopying costs. Thank you to the families who have paid
this already.

ANNUAL REPORT

We have received our Annual report from BDO Spicer, our auditors.
This is available for viewing in the school office.




Our weekly sausage sizzle fundraiser is on every Thursday.
The cost is $1.50 per sausage and orders need to be at the school
office before 8.50am on Thursday mornings.
