Student Led Conference (SLC) bookings are now open

Wednesday 2 December, 1.20-6pm

SLC s are a chance for our tamariki to show off their wonderful learning from the year - a time for them to shine! Parents/whanau would have received the written report prior, so there shouldn’t be any surprises when attending their child’s SLC, more so a celebration of their learning :) It’s great having more than one SLC taking place in the classroom as it creates a real buzz, which is why we try to book at least four in each slot. So when you arrive, come on in!

How do I book for a SLC? 

These are available to book through Skool Loop. Go to “Bookings”, then select 'Term 4 SLC', then the teacher/s (multiple choices if you have children in more than one class), “date”, then “time”. 

What time are SLCs? 

Time slots will be shown on the booking form on Skool Loop, however, the overall time frame is from 1:20pm through to 6pm. They’re scheduled for every 20 minutes, apart from a short break around 4pm for the teachers.

More information

While the teachers are busy with SLC’s, the classes will watch a movie in the Marlow Room, after lunch.  If your booking is during school hours, then please collect your child/ren from the Marlow Room, and mention to Mrs B if you will be taking your child home (she will have the bus list).   

If you are new to this and have any questions, or have any issues (need a time changed) then get in touch with Mandy.

The office will be unattended for the rest of the day (Mandy is out) - so if you have any transport updates then please text the school mobile 022 4822 5479 by 2.30pm.

Reminder that CookieTime forms are due today.  I'll also accept them tomorrow morning if you haven't got it in today.

Swimwear - reminder that children need their togs this week.  Details in the latest newsletter.  

Thank you to all the amazing families that have supported the Weaned Calf Fundraiser.  We appreciate all those who put in their time, effort and resources to raise these calves, and then for the awesome financial contribution we get for the calves.

Plus a massive thank you to Vaughan and Dani Laurent, from Laurent Contractors, for sponsoring the transport to get our calves to sale.

And thanks to Stu Muckle for coordinating this fundraiser.  

Over $18k is a massive contribution towards the Walton PTA's efforts, which in turn gets put back into wonderful school!

1. Because the forecast predicts more rain tomorrow, we've decided to make an early call to move our school athletics day to this Friday. We hope this will allow time for anyone who has planned time off work tomorrow to reschedule for Friday.
2. Mandy is away today: please leave a phone message on the answering machine if calling. Alternatively, text the school. 
3. Due to athletics day now on Friday, we'll hold a special 'assembly' tomorrow at 11am to hand out last term's Cross Country certificates and some extra Caught Being Good certificates: a skool loop message will come out in the morning to say which tamariki will receive the CBG certs ;)
