Important meetings this week

REMINDERS FOR PARENTS This week the school is hosting some community meetings. The discussion will be on some aspects of our Charter and planned E-learning developments for the school for next year. The meetings will be held in Room 15 and are scheduled for: Wednesday 20 November General Meeting 3.15 pm Whanau Group 5.30 pm Thursday 21 November General Meeting 8.45 am (meeting in Hall) Filipino Community 3.15 pm Pasifika Fono 5.30 pm General Meeting 7.00pm Tuesday 26 November Indian Community 6.30 pm Anyone is welcome to attend any meeting time slot that suits. The same content will be presented at each meeting. It would be good if everyone could try to come to a meeting - particularly parents of children who are currently in Year 2 or 3. This is because the school is planning to allow students in Year 3/4 in 2014 to bring a Chromebook to school if they wish (probably from start of Term 2).
