Welcome to: Toby Orpwood, Mason Pollard, Sophie Pickering and
Indiana Fullager Tena Koutou Parents, Caregivers and Whanau.
Hello everyone,
Kia ora e hoa mä.
Mā te tuakana ka tōtika te teina, mā te teina ka tōtika te tuakana
(From the older sibling the younger learns how to do it, from the younger sibling the older learns how to be tolerant/everyone has responsibilities, both the old and the young.)
School Disco
We will be having a School Disco for the students on Friday 25 June from 6.30pm -8.00pm in the School Hall. There will be awesome music and disco lights! Lollies, chocolate, chips and fizz will be available to purchase, so bring along some coins.
We ask all parents to please pop into Room 7 once you drop your child/ren off at the disco to contribute your ideas to the Board for strategic planning. Please see the information below.
Board Corner
Kia ora Whanau,
The Board needs your ideas. They would love to hear your ideas about how you would like Riversdale School to ‘look and be’ like in 5 years time. (Strategic Planning time.)
Can you please have a think about
1. What we do well currently...
2. What else we could do....
Under the following 3 areas
1. Teaching and learning.
2. Staff and learning resources.
3. Community involvement/pride.
We are asking that after you have dropped your children off at the school disco, you pop into Room 7 and share your ideas. The Board thinks that this will only take 15 minutes, especially if you have already given it some thought.
This is a great opportunity to have your say in shaping the direction of the school for the next 4-5 years. We look forward to hearing your ideas.
