From The Principal's Desk
Dear Parents
2014 is nearly over but there is still a lot happening here at school. Please check that you have the day and time of your child's awards assembly marked in your diaries. Refer to the school website for dates of the various end of year events.
There is just one member of staff leaving at the end of year. Mrs de Boorder is off to the Hawkes Bay to live. She has been at Mellons Bay
School for over 17 years and will be greatly missed.
Mrs Church has been recognised as an Advanced Classroom Expertise teacher by the Ministry of Education. This is a very rigorous process and a limited number of teachers have received this recognition. Our congratulations go to Mrs Church.
The Fun Day for Years 0 – 5 that was organised by Mrs Costello for the first time last year will take place on Monday 15 December. This is so popular with everyone, it has become an annual event. I hope that many of you can join us on that day.
