Measles Vaccine: In view of the recent outbreak of measles and reported cases at our school, it is important that all students are vaccinated against measles. Normally, Kiwi kids receive the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) injections at 15 months and four years of age. If your child is not immunised, please let the school office know. It is free to get vaccinated if you’re a New Zealand resident born after 1 January 1969. Contact your general practitioner or call 0800 IMMUNE (0800 466 863) for more information.

Lucky Book Club: Issue 4 brochures have been sent home. A reminder that Friday 21st June is the last day for ordering books from this Issue.

Student Led Conferences (SLCs): This is such an important event for us all. Students have spent time preparing to share their learning with you, talking about their learning goals and making sure that they know where they are at with their learning. They are busy preparing to tell a family member or friend all about their learning. Booking forms are being sent home with students today. If you do not receive one, please fill out the slip below and return it to school as soon as possible. The dates for these SLCs are Wednesday 3rd July and Thursday 4th July, 2019. Please book these dates in your diary. SCHOOL WILL BE CLOSED EARLY AT 2.00PM ON THURSDAY 4TH JULY, 2019.
