Year 6 - Living Springs Camp and Conference Centre, 218 Bamfords Road, Allandale 8971

We are really looking forward to camp at Living Springs! It is getting closer and the excitement is starting to build.

A reminder that the total cost of camp is $130 per student. If you haven't yet made a payment, please send payments through to the office. Regular, ongoing payments are absolutely fine. Every little bit helps, so please don't feel like you need to pay the full amount all at once. Term 3 Week 7 - Wednesday 2nd September - Friday 4th September

School Production: This is being held Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 September in the evening. Pōhutukawa will be performing on the Wednesday. Our production preparations are well underway! The script is written and we are now getting busy bringing everything to life. We are sorting costumes, working on our art, learning our parts and creating our awesome penguin masks.

Black T-shirts
All students will need a plain black T-shirt for the production. If your child already has a black T-shirt with something on it, we can simply turn it inside out and use it. We are likely to be painting on the T-shirts, so please don't send a favourite one!I have also spotted $5 plain black T-shirts at Kmart. If it is easier, you are welcome to send money in and we can pick one up for your child, or you can purchase one yourself.The excitement is definitely building, and the students are working hard to make our production something special. We can't wait to share it with you in Week 9!

On the 27th August, we will be having a speech competition for our Yr 4 - 6 students. This is an opportunity for students to craft and deliver a speech in front of an audience. It will be held between 11am - 12.30pm in the Performance Centre for selected tamariki. More details to follow.

Hi Everyone

Just a reminder that we are having our Lagmhor Assembly on Wednesday at 1:30pm.  We will meet on the courts to begin with to watch our our amazing 1st place dance group perform their winning routine.  We will then head into the studio for the remainder of our assembly.

We look forward to seeing you there.

The Lagmhor Team

Hi everyone

The students are hoping we can have another Pet Day this year.  We would love to make this happen and really appreciate the help and support given by our families in the community. 

We appreciate that this is a very busy time of year with lambing and calving.  That being said, we would love some feedback as to when would be the more preferable date.  With Swim Week, Production Week and Athletics Day all come up over the next few months, we are thinking either week 10 of term 3 or week 1 of term 4.  If you have a prefered date, could you please get in touch with either Jason or Wendy.

Many thanks.
