The winning whanau for Term 1 is Kowhai.



Well done!  You have been amazing role models who have worked hard
 in class and at play.  Next term on Friday the 6th of May, you get to come to school in free mufti – wear your colours to show how proud you are to be part of Kowhai!

Congratulations.

Notices
It’s been a busy time for notices. You should have got the Digital Citzenship and Botanic Gardens Trip notices. Both these need to be returned this week please. There was also a notice about photo ordering. There are envelopes at the office if doing this online doesn’t suit.

You will be getting a notice about BYOD (Bring your own device) early next week. This is optional and so only return the notice if you wish to take up this option.

Wheels Day
While the Seniors are at camp, the Juniors and middle School will have a wheels day. This is planned for Tuesday April 12, after lunch (the last week of the term). Flyer attached

Parking on Tuesday and Friday
Next Tuesday (12th April) the senior school are going to camp.  They will be arriving at school from 8am and should all be here by 8.30.  They will be leaving at approximately 9.15.  The buses will be in our car park.  Consequently, we will be coning off the area outside the gates so the buses can turn around easily.  Please do not park by the cones, or in the drop-off area as camp parents will be dropping their children with their bags there.  If possible, can you please drop your children off in Juliet Avenue or Freyberg Place for the morning.  Alternatively, bring your children to school after 8.30 and be prepared to park a little further down the road.

The campers will be coming back at approximately 3pm on Friday and the same will apply.  Cones will be on the road and parents will be here to pick up their children from camp.  Please try to avoid this area.

Thank you for your help with this.

Activity Fee
At least $30 of the activity fee needs to be paid by Tuesday May 3 in order for your child to attend the trip and to continue to have access to Mathletics.

Uniforms
Over the holidays can you please check your child's uniform to make sure it is all neat, tidy and correct.  Please check the side seams on the shirts as often these start to tear away, check and fix hems, check buttons and replace these if they are missing.  We expect the children's uniform to be neat and tidy.

Shoes must be completely black and sensible for school.  Socks are white OR black - no colours please.  The girls can wear black or white tights.

There must not be anything showing under the uniform so if your child feels the cold, you could visit the uniform shop in Highland Park and purchase a long sleeved HPS shirt.

They do not need hats in terms 2 and 3.  Hair ties must be black, brown, white or burgundy only.

No jewellery (necklaces or bracelets) are to be worn to school unless it is culturally or of religious significance. If this is the case, please inform the class teacher in writing. Small plain gold or silver ear studs may be worn.

Jackets - any type of jacket can be worn to school but once at school, this must be left in the cloak bay.  There are HPS jackets at the uniform shop too and these can be worn during the day.

All year 3 to 6 children must have the correct sports uniform for sport from now on.  This is especially important in case they get muddy on the field.

Thank you for helping keep HPS a great looking school!
