Paremata School's Daily News 

Friday 18th May 2012


Notices. 

Phoebe Hilliam in Room 6 here.... Today I will be holding another sausage sizzle here at school to fundraise towards my accommodation costs when I travel to Melbourne in June to compete in my Irish dancing. Sausages cost $1.50 each. As I will not be able to give out change, you will need to have the correct money. I (or one of my friends) will come round this morning and collect your money and give you a ticket which you will hand in at the bbq for your sausage.  The bbq will be outside the sports shed.  Thank you for your support. Phoebe.

The 20/40 hour famine.
Hi everyone, I know that you are all busy collecting sponsors for the famine. Some of you have already filled one booklet - Well done!
If you need another booklet there are some at the office. If you would like to come along to the fun, famine evening there are permission slips at the office. Please return by Friday =)
Any questions see Mrs Cornell.

Many apologies for all the changes!  FUNKY hair dayis now on Friday the 25th of May.

Congratulations to the 12 people that have been selected to be part of DANCE SPLASH!
It's so exciting to see so much talent, potential and enthusiasm for dance. 
Please remember EVERY THURSDAY LUNCHTIME will be our practices in the hall at 12.45pm

Tuesday Kiwi sport soccer sessions - For those of you who normally have your soccer session on a Tuesday it will take place on Thursday next week (just for Week 5) due to Tuesday being our cross country day.

Computers - When you are logging off the computers (especially remote desktop) it is important that you do this the correct way (by going to Start and then Log Off). If you click the x on the grey bar along the top of the screen, then the whole school system will stop working and nobody will be able to log on to access work, the internet or to print. So remember to go to Start and Log Off!

New Families Welcome afternoon tea, School staff room, 2-3pm today.

Choir in the hall at 11:50am on Fridays.

Kapa haka in the hall at 2:15pm on Fridays.

Attention! Everyone wishing to participate in the scooter competition can now do so! the scooter competition is postponed until week six and, as long as you have a helmet, you can borrow your friends scooter, borrowing being asking if you can use the scooter first and not just taking it. Also to clarify, if you want to participate, on your day tell your name (and how to spell it) to the three people at the desks, and proceed to the line formed by others or, if you are the first one there, there will be a senior waiting for you.
Thank you,
Senior Council

ENTERTAINMENT BOOK - If you do not wish to purchase/sell your book, please return to it to the office.

Drama Splash -   Make sure you are available for Friday lunchtimes every week this term. Mrs Cornell
