Help Needed – Sausage Sizzles for Athletics Days

If you are going to be a spectator on Athletics Day we would be grateful for some extra help from approx 12:30 to ensure we can get food distributed to the classes as quickly as possible. If you can help please leave your details with Cherie in the office or email welcomebaypta@gmail.com or contact Lorien 021 741 518.

Lions Raffle

Tickets are being sent home Tuesday 8th November with those children who have returned their permission slips. If you still want tickets please get your permission slip in to the school office asap. Ticket stubs and money are due back by Monday 21 November.

PTA Meeting

Next meeting is Wednesday 16 November, 6pm in the school staffroom (use entrance via staff carpark). All welcome, you do not need to be a committee member to attend. We are always keen to hear new ideas.

Breakfast Club Helpers Needed

Breakfast club is run in the hall kitchen from 8.10 – 8.40am, which we would like to be able to offer to our children on a daily basis. This includes giving children Weet-Bix and making Milo for them so they can start the day with a full puku. If you are interested in volunteering either on your own or with a friend please see Julia Bishop in the junior hub or leave your details with Cherie in the office. We currently need helpers for Friday mornings.

Tauranga City Library

Read books, win prizes! Tauranga City Libraries are running a free, fun summer reading programme called “Sail into Summer Reading”. Children aged 5 to 10 years read library books, tell library staff about their reading and receive incentive prizes and stickers. It’s a great way to encourage reading over summer (and helps keep up reading levels).

For kids starting Intermediate in 2017 there is Teen Mean Reads, where young people read and write reviews of library books and earn free books to keep. Enrolment for both programmes starts Friday 9th December at all Tauranga City Libraries. Numbers are limited. Phone 577 7220 for information.
