School Hat Orders
These can be purchased via Kindo. A report is run daily at 9.30am. The hats are then labelled and handed out to the students.
WOW – TU MEKE!
Thank you to all the whānau
who collected Yummy Stickers.
Guess what?
As a school community, we collected Yummy Stickers and our school now has $696.00 to spend on sports gear. This is fantastic!
Please keep collecting those stickers over the summer months as you’ll see them
on crunchy apples and juicy stone fruit.
Keep sending the stickers to Rūma 21.
Stride and Ride Fest – Tuesday 18 November
Kia ora koutou parents and whānau, as part of our Tūī X project we are planning a big event at our kura/school. It is called Stride and Ride Fest. On Tuesday 18 November, students will try to walk/bike/scoot to school. If you live too far away and have to come in a car, drop your kids off at Metro Park, Stella Maris Lane or by the big cow paddock near the Silverdale shops. To celebrate, all students can wear a mufti hat and mufti shoes that day. Please still come in school uniform! The purpose of Stride and Ride Fest is to try to encourage kids to come car free to school.
