As we finish Week 4 of Term 2 and head into Week 5 we reflect on the last couple of weeks and the wonderful opportunities our students have had to explore, learn, and shine.  

Thank you to Whaea Danielle who organised our school to take part in the 35th Primary School Rugby Fun Day hosted by the NZ Barbarian Rugby Club.  There were 23 schools that participated. This was held on Sunday 19 May at Bruce Pulman Park.  I was privileged to have taken 13 of our students to this awesome event.  The day was all about FUN and therefore no official scores were taken, however we did win two out of our three games.  I’d like to thank the many whānau that came out on the day to support our kids and help transport.  Your cheering and encouragement on the sideline was really appreciated.  A big thank you to Jacob (Dillon and Jayveous’ dad) for coaching our kids on the day.

Thank you to Whaea Deirdre who organised another visit from this wonderful organisation who provide ‘Loose Parts’ (otherwise known as junk) and random objects for kids to explore in many ways.  It was great to see our students collaborating, being creative, role playing and taking risks.

Pink Shirt Day - celebrating kindness and inclusiveness

Last Friday our school was immersed in a ray of pinkness - it was a fabulous sight to see!  For us at WPS, this was to coincide with 

A reminder that on Friday 31 May school will be closed as we will be having our teacher only day to focus on the development of our school curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment.  This weekend is also extended with the Kings Birthday which is on Monday 3 June.  So enjoy the extra long weekend with your families - school will be back on Tuesday 4 June.

As we head into the cooler months we are experiencing students and staff with colds, flu and covid.  We appreciate whānau calling in to report your absences.  If your child is unwell, please keep them home.  If your child appears unwell at school, our office staff will assess them by taking their temperature and monitoring them.  There will be times that we have to ring home if your child is too unwell to remain at school.  Take care of yourselves and your families.

SAMOAN LANGUAGE WEEK Sunday 26 May - Saturday 1 June
We look forward to our week of celebrations next week.  All students are invited to wear their Samoan cultural attire next week.  Our Opening Assembly will be held on Monday at 10am.  Our junior Pasifika group will be performing.  Our Closing Assembly will be on Friday at 10am with our Senior Pasifika group performing.  All classes will be having a shared morning tea on Thursday.  Please bring along something to share.
