Kia ora koutou,
How about those All Blacks! Deep breaths for Saturday’s game.
Cross Country: We are half way through a busy week. Cross Country was yesterday. It isn’t lost on us that it was a close call weather-wise – but we are grateful that we can tick another thing off our busy calendar. Thank you for all the transport help we had yesterday. We love this venue and our tamariki tell us they do too but it does have the added complication of needing transport so we appreciate your help.
Yesterday I received some really kind feedback about the event from a whānau who said they really appreciate the way the event is run and how positive our tamariki are when they are both participating in the race and supporting their peers. They also noted that it was obvious that Bulls School works really hard to take their PRIDE values with them and this might mean lots of reminders to our tamariki about what behaviours we expect, but ultimately everyone is doing their very best and it showed.
It isn’t easy making these calls and the organisation that goes on behind the scene is often not noticed, but it was so nice to be able to share this feedback with the staff – so thank you. Positivity goes a long way ;-).
Junior Trip: Our Juniors are out and about in the Manawatū today and we are sure there will be some great photos up on the facebook pages over the coming days. Again, a huge thank you to the vehicles and parent helpers – the tamariki were absolutely chomping at the bit to get out and about when I checked in with them this morning!
Wood is Good: Tomorrow we have the Wood is Good programme happening across the school. Wood is Good is a primary school engagement programme designed by members of the forestry and log transport sectors in New Zealand. The programme is
based around two main aspects: “Be Safe, Be Seen” road safety message, and wood as a valuable and sustainable product to New Zealand.
Term dates: Term 4 is a super busy term and we have sent out via Facebook the date highlights and also put them below. We do our best to ensure that all the right notices make it home and all the right information gets to where it needs to be but it isn’t easy. If you have any wonderings or concerns just give Di at the office a call. If she doesn’t know the answer she will track it down for you. Please be kind. As the term ticks by you will see that we have the big dates locked in like Community Concert and Prizegivings – please put those in your calendars – the festive season is on its way!
