INTERVIEWS / STUDENT-LED CONFERENCES:   Our thanks to all parents for your turnout to the student-led 3-way interviews at the end of last term.   We had a high turnout, and we’ve received some excellent feedback from many of you.

DID YOU MISS OUT?    It is really important that we have these meetings with all parents – this is a critical part of your child’s learning and their well-being.  If you missed for some reason, please contact your child’s teacher to make a time.  Thanks.

 

CELEBRATION: FEILDING BUSINESS AWARDS:   Last night, at the Feilding Business Awards, Lytton Street School was once again a FINALIST in the “Best Education” section.  Our thanks to those who support us so well with what we do.  Our congratulations to Feilding Intermediate School for their overall win in the Education Section.

 

IRON BRION”:   We are pleased to be hosting the Beef & Lamb promotion again, with a barbecue for lunch on Monday 9 August.   If you DO NOT WANT your child to take part in this, please let us know.

 

HELPERS NEEDED:   We need a good group of parent helpers for the “Iron Brion” promotion on Monday 9th.   (8 people at 8.30am and 6 people from 10.30am).  There will be two separate sessions in the hall, and they are catering for 200+ each time.   Please phone Dianne on 323 6687 if you can help us.  Thanks!

 

TRIVIA QUIZ NIGHT: PTA FUND-RAISER:   We have a large number of teams (18) entered in the quiz night being held tomorrow evening in the school hall, and we have now closed entries.  This will be a great night.  Refreshments available, supper provided.   We also have some great raffle prizes and an auction.  Bring cash!

 

HOW ARE WE DOING” SURVEY OF PARENTS:   Yesterday we sent out a yellow survey form, asking for your feedback on our school performance in a range of areas involving your children.   PLEASE HELP US BY COMPLETING THIS AND RETURNING TO THE SCHOOL.   We have a lucky draw for all returns, for a Robert Harris Coffee Voucher.

 

NEW PUPIL:  We welcome Jared into our New Entrant Class in Room 5, this week.

 

PLEASE NAME STUFF!   We seem to gather a large amount of children’s clothes, and so much of it is un-named.   PLEASE name anything your child is likely to take off or lose.
