Value Focus for next two weeks: Initiative and Perseverance
From The Principal
Kia ora tatou katoa, Talofa, Malo e lelei, Bula vi naka, Kia orana Nga mihi nui ki a koutou, Namaste, Nihao, greetings to you all.
Welcome to all our new children and families at Elm Park School. Our Year 0 classes are filling up rapidly and we have had to move some of our new students into the Year 1 classes to make room for the new students arriving. We thank all those parents who were so accommodating about the move. The children are all well settled in their new environment.
A reminder that we are collating the new classes for 2015 at the moment, if you have any requests about who your child/ren may be with or not please email the office asap at secretary@elmpark.school.nz However, you are not able to request specific teachers. We do our best to ensure that your child/ren are well placed.
Our stationery packs for 2015 will be available from Office Max again. We are endeavouring to minimize the stationery costs due to the fact that we are working on computers more and more.
If you wish to pay by Credit card for the Activity charge or Parent Contribution this facility will be available from Office Max as well. If you pay before 31 March 2015 you will receive a substantial discount for the Parent Contribution. Details will follow.
