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.)
Internet Safety
With John Parsons coming to speak to the children, teachers, parents and whanau on Tuesday 24 August, I looked up some useful information that you may like to discuss with your children.
Technically, the minimum age for opening a Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, or Snapchat account is 13.
Snapchat isn’t intended for children under the age of 13. Teens aged 13 - 17 should have permission from a parents or legal guardian to use the app.
John Parsons Parent Evening
On Tuesday 24 August John Parsons will be hosting a parent evening around Cyber Safety at at 6.30pm in Room 2. He is an expert at sharing advice and guidance around internet safety for children. We can supervise children in Room 3 while you attend the session. John will be working with all children during the day, and teachers after school.
Thank you to Michael Lobb for donating a storage container for the sandpit toys. It is great to have one big container the toys all fit in. We greatly appreciate your generosity.

This year is a production year. The school production will be held in Term 4 in the evening on Tuesday 7 December and Wednesday 8 December.
