From The Principal's Desk

Judy BrownDear Parents

On Friday this week the students will be bringing home their mid-term reports.  These provide information in the three main learning areas, reading writing and mathematics. On Wednesday and Thursday, 30 & 31 July there will be three way conferences, at which your child will share his / her learning with you.  The portfolio will be shared at the conference and can be taken home. Please remember that the students will be
sent home at 12.30 on these days. To book for the conference please refer to the school website: www.mellonsbay.school.nz   Bookings will open in week 1 term 3.

There are two staff who are leaving the school at the end of this term, Mrs Annette Stewart and Mrs Sue Searle. Annette has worked in the MBS office for 21 years.  She is off on a trip shortly and will decide when she gets home whether she is retiring or not.  Sue is going to Panmure Bridge School where she will be a Reading Recovery teacher for six students.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank them both for all that they have given to the school community and to wish them well in their new endeavours. Mrs Helen Bould is has been appointed as the new office assistant and Mrs Jackie Scoggins is the new reading support teacher.

On behalf of the staff and Board of Trustees I would like to wish you all an enjoyable school holidays. Many thanks to all those people who have volunteered their time this term.

Judy Brown
