WAIHI EAST SCHOOL SCHOOL NEWSLETTER 28/2015 9 September 2015

Kia ora,

By golly, our little beauties did us proud when Sir and Lady Avery came to Waihi East School, along with the Seven

Sharp Team. On the day it was an honor to hear our children’s words and total respect for such incredible people. They

showed amazing interest in the LifePod, making our fundraising more real and urgent. To date $1082.00 has been raised. A

stunning effort from a school of our size. If you missed our segment on Seven Sharp, it is available to view on our website.

Check us out, maybe with a box of tissues, because our school community came across as stunning! During the final week of

term, Room Nine will have a special assignment cooking lunch for our school. This will be a LifePod fundraiser. Keep an ear to

the ground, an eye to the sky for smoke signals because a mean meal will be sold.

A massive thank you to Team East Whanau for our disco on Thursday. This has to be the best disco we have run due to

their energy, enthusiasm and planning. Congratulations on your efforts and a huge thank you to our tamariki for their stellar

behaviour and respect. Together We Rise Above and Shine!

Briar and I had the pleasure of presenting our Accelerated Literacy Learning to kura in Hamilton on Friday. Our ideas,

improved data and thoughts were a huge hit! Briar has been leading a reading intervention within the school and I have had

the cool job of teaching a group of selected tamariki. I am very proud of the growth in achievement, the way our teachers

have been very flexible with Briar’s new ideas and plan, and Briar’s leadership. Definitely worth a Principals sticker Briar!

Sadly this week the Board accepted Sharon Pickering’s resignation from her teaching position, effective from the end

of this term. Sharon is a very talented classroom teacher and coach. She will be missed by the school community. A

presentation will be made to Sharon on the final assembly of this term. Please come along and thank her for her massive

contribution to our school. An appointment will be made for term four. Once this is secure, I will let the school community

know.

Nga mihi nui, Emily Hargreaves (ehargreaves@east.school.nz)

PUBLIC HEATLTH NURSE

The Public Health nurse has informed us that there has been a marked increase in the number of vomiting and diarrhoea inci-dences around Waihi recently. She has been advised by the Medi-cal Officer of Health, Population Health in Hamilton. If your child is experiencing high fever, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting and /or diarrhoea they are to be home until 24/48 hours from their last episode. Some children and adults may also be carrying the illness but have no symptoms so therefore we stress the im-portance of good hand hygiene practises. Any concerns please contact your doctor.
