Tena Kotou katoa… a warm welcome to you all.

What a wonderful group of students we welcomed back on Monday. They are all looking refreshed,

relaxed and keen to get on with their learning.

We have now reached 200 students. To assist us with our planning and organisation, I would appreciate

knowing if your family is moving on June the 1st or could be moving at some time during the remainder

of the year.

ANZAC Service Friday the 4th May @ 9.30a.m. school hall

For those of you who attended the village ANZAC Service I’m sure you were as proud of our Student

Executive as I was. Weren’t they great! I’ve had some people ask me about my thoughts following the

address of the guest speaker. I felt confident that our school students to learn about conflicts and wars

and this showed in our, student speeches and their ability to reply to the quest speakers’ questions to

them. It has always been a long standing tradition at Ōhaupō School and in the community to recognise

ANZAC Day and the significance of it.

Our school has always had an annual service and this year we extend an open invitation to all to attend

our service this Friday the 4th of May at 9.30a.m. in the school hall. Our guest speaker will be Father

Chris Skinner composer and singer of the song “Sons of Gallipoli”. We are looking forward to hearing

him sing this beautiful song and then the school joining in with him.

Student led- conferences:

I know many of you are continuing to enjoy the online facilities that are enabling us and vice versa to

share our child’s learning with you. In addition, you now have an opportunity to attend an interview with

your child and their hub teachers on Monday the 21st and 28th of May and on Wednesday the 28th and 30th

of May. These will be teacher – led for Yrs 3-6 and student led for Yrs 7 & 8 and will be 15 minutes long.

Please make sure you secure you time slot early so you will not be disappointed.

Maths Whizz

Thanks to all those people who have paid their child’s Math’s Whizz amount. We did ask if these could

all be settled by the end of Term 1 and a reminder was sent to those people with outstanding accounts

yesterday. Can these please be attended to promptly or access will need to be restricted to those who

have qualified for access to Maths Whizz.

We have another exciting term ahead of us and look forward to your positive support.
