Approval for planned absences must be in writing (email is fine) in advance to the Principal with the reasons and expected return date. If the reason is deemed acceptable the absence is recorded as justified. If not deemed acceptable then it is recorded as unjustified. SWIMMING! We are very fortunate to secure the services of trained swimming instructors at the St Peter’s Private School Swimming Pool. The programme includes, water confidence, basic swimming skills, and water safety. This is a compulsory component of our Health and Physical Education programme and all children are expected to participate. If there is a genuine reason why your child cannot swim a note or email to the teacher is required to explain this, please. There is a nice working focused buzz in the school thanks to the effort you have made ensuring your child/ children have returned to school rested, organised and ready for the new challenges ahead. Thanks, we appreciate it! Ka kite ano Sue McLocklan Principal Ōhaupō SchoolM.EdLdshp;B.Tchg.Dip.info.Studies.DipTchg. FAREWELL TO MOBY

Communication and relationship building
Building relationships between home and school is a vital component of positive learning. As a school, we are looking
forward to sharing with you our key focus areas, expectations for your child’s learning, class routines, homework
expectations and to clarify anything you are not sure about for 2017. We will meet in the hall at 6.30p.m. where I will
share the “big picture” and then you will be free to meet with the staff of your choice.
I am also hoping to have people from different community groups on site, so parents will know what community
groups are available, when and where they function and who to contact.
We do our best to keep you informed, so please read the weekly newsletter.
