Kia ora,
The last two days of 2025 have raced up on us, but we do have some good news! If you ordered school photos, they have now arrived and will be sent home with students today. Peanut butter orders from the FOTS fundraiser have also arrived and will be available for collection from the staffroom.
A reminder that our Prizegiving Assembly begins at 6pm sharp tonight, followed by the Year 6 Leavers’ Dinner. The dinner is for Year 6 students and their parents only, please.

So sorry but today I thought I would get the water slide out at lunch time for a bit of fun. All was well until I decided to add detergent to the slide as students were not slipping on the plastic. The detergent is called MD 555 cleaner and was used in the dental clinic for cleaning dental equipment and as a result I thought, if it is for equipment being put in student mouth it would be safe.
It turns out it stings when in contact with cuts or plastic burns and we have had an afternoon of washing students down and changing clothes. Closer inspection of the container reveals it can cause mild skin irritation and eye irritation.
Some students are still a bit stingey and coming home in strange clothes, so sorry for any inconvienence caused. Please feel free to contact me directley on 0212952506
