Newsletter - Week 3 Term 4
Greenmeadows School 5th November 2021
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora koutou,
Thanks for reading our newsletter - it is produced alongside a fancy piece of software (what isn't these days?) that showed 624 people accessed our newsletter from a fortnight ago ... in places including USA, Europe and Australia.
So here is hoping this is serving its purpose ... and welcome to all our readers wherever you are on planet Earth.
Mark Johnson
WELCOME TO GMS!

What a great start they have made to school!
Ka pai!
CANTEEN OPEN DAYS ADJUSTMENT
For the remainder of the year the canteen will open on Thursdays and Fridays only ... no longer operating on Wednesdays.
NEW ENTRANTS FOR 2022
If you aren't sure please make contact with the office and let us know. It is better for us to hear twice, rather than not at all.
It is nice to not get a surprise when we weren't expecting a child and we haven't involved them in our fantastic transition to school programme.
HAERE RA TO OUR EIT CANDIDATE TEACHERS
All the very best to the GMS CTs (from left to right) Patrick Everard, Arihi Hutana, Rumer McHenry, Maddie MacErlich and Nikita Hall, as they head towards their final year of teacher training in 2022.
SCHOOL PHOTOS
BORROWED UNIFORMS
We are desperately short on spare uniform pieces and if your child has an accident at school and we dont have anything to fit him or her we will be calling parents to drop in a change of clothes. This can be really inconvenient, especially for working parents!
REMINDER ABOUT PICKING YOUR CHILDREN UP DURING THE SCHOOL DAY
GMS PTA NEWS
1. Calendar orders - hopefully you have all seen the information about the calendars your children have created. You can make any orders through Kindo.
2. GMS PTA Christmas Raffle - in a year when many things have disappeared off the calendar ... but we are still going to have our annual Christmas raffle. We would gladly accept any donations toward the prize collection.
YUMMY APPLE STICKERS PROMOTION
Thanks to Kellie Harkness for collating close to 11,000 Yummy stickers. That number represents an amazing effort by all our sticker collectors, and Kellie for incredible perseverance with all that counting and sheet organising!!
Keep collecting the Yummy stickers if you see them - we can get a head start for next year's competition that way!
