Dear Parents & Caregivers
We are now into Week 3 of Term 1. All the children and teachers are settled
into their classrooms. Thank you for buying their stationery quickly and sending
your children to school in the correct uniform. My thanks also to the parents
who have removed the ‘hair colour’ from their children’s hair. It is good to see
you setting an example to your children and following our school rules.
Our school council is beginning to learn their roll as leaders in our school.
They will have regular meetings with the Principal to air theirs and their
colleagues views about the things they would like to see happen at South school.

South VALUES programme…
At school all classes focus on and explore one of our
six key values for two weeks at a time. We would like families to support this
work at school by talking about the same value at home… what does the value mean
to your family/Whanau?

Our VALUE to be explored next is:

their own homework.

ELECTIONS
Board of Trustees elections are coming up fast.
Election day is Friday 7th May. Now is the time to give consideration
to the important question of who you would like to see as parent representatives
on the board that runs South School. Perhaps you would like to stand or know
someone who would be a good candidate. It is time to talk about this important
task. Most of the current board will be standing down because their children
have left South School. If you are interested in becoming a Board member come to
an information evening on Wednesday 31st March at 5.30 pm in the
Staffroom. Thank you.
