Message from Matua
Lately some of our students have not been making positive choices at school or at Technology which is disappointing.
Over the next 5 weeks until the end of the school year, anyone who is involved in any negative behaviour will be given community service in their break and lunch times. Please remember you are role models and our expectations of you are high so keep our school safe and enjoyable for everyone.

A Rotorua primary school is facing at least $80,000 in damage after a group of teenagers ransacked classrooms, its principal says.
Five teenagers aged 13 to 15 broke into Western Heights Primary school in Rotorua on Sunday and threw acrylic classroom paint over ceilings, walls, furniture and carpets.
Principal Brent Griffin said seeing the damage was devastating.
Griffin said there was CCTV footage of the offenders, who were not connected to, or known by the school.
Griffin said despite how devastating the vandalism was, it had shown what a great community the school had.
"Their kindness, their willingness to support, start up Givealittle pages... as negative as this whole thing is, the positives that have come from this just shows what a brilliant place Rotorua really is."
He said teachers had come in on their day off, hundreds of people had called to wish them well and Cafe Dynasti in Ngongotahā had brought in morning tea for the staff.

You are welcome to check traps on other days and deal with any catches.
The checking and rebaiting wasn't happening towards the end of last term.
