 * News from the PTA - May 2017 **

The kids enjoyed a fun disco on Friday 12th May - we must thank our fabulous DJ ex Ouruhia pupil Joel Maguire - he did a fantastic job of entertaining the kids and we think we beat the world record for the longest running game of 'statues' ever! Congratulations Joel and thanks for all of your help. We continued with our healthy snack option during disco break time reducing the fats and sugars our kids are eating by providing one treat option of a mini packet of chips and some healthy mandarins and water to drink. We also had a refreshing tea and coffee stand for parents to take a break with in Room 2 where we enjoyed some delicious home baking from our amazing PTA cook/baker extraordinaire Ange Maguire. Look out for our next Disco to be held in Term 3!



The PTA continue work towards gaining funding for our major fundraiser which is to **upgrade the school pool** – school pools are valuable resources these days so we must treasure our one and try to maximise its potential. Water safety is and will always be, a very important component of a kiwi kids upbringing.
 * News from the PTA - April 2017 **

We plan to cover the pool to extend the swimming season at school and if funding enables it we will put in a brand new pool.

While we will be applying for charity funding (the PTA is a registered charity), we will also use our annual fundraising activities to contribute towards this upgrade.

Other events coming up are:

__**TERM ONE:**__ Easter Raffle - tickets were handed out last week - $2 each or six for $10 - please get these sold and return the proceeds to Raewyn in the office by Monday 10th April. The Easter Mufti Day is this week on 5th April - please bring an easter egg instead of the usual gold coin donation. The Easter Raffle will be drawn on Wednesday 12th April. All winners will be notified by telephone if they are not present.
