What an fantastic way to finish our first term of 2026.  The kids were just amazing and we all had the best time during our overnight camp and trip to Timaru the following day.  A special thanks to all our parent helpers.  We are so lucky to have such a supportive community.  Thank you to all the families who contributed some baking and a HUGE thank you to the amazing team from the Lagmhor Community Society for feeding, not just the students,  but our wider school community at the BBQ on Wednesday night.  I believe we had around 80 people in total.

If anyone has any photos from the two days, feel free to add them to the following Google Drive folder.  For privacy reasons, please don't post any photos to social media if they include children from other families.

We hope you all have an enjoyable break and looking forward to seeing everyone in term 2.

As Mrs P mentioned in today’s newsletter, you are now able to book a time for conferences with you, your child and their teacher. These run for two afternoons/evenings and are 15 minutes in length. If you feel you will need longer or the days do not suit please contact the class teacher for a separate appointment. If your child has more than one teacher, both teachers should be present at interviews, but only one teacher’s name is on the booking form. If your child goes to Whaea Kirstin for maths/literacy acceleration, you are welcome to book a time with her as well as their usual class teacher. 
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. 

Bookings are made here on Skool Loop under the ‘bookings’ tab. 

We are currently heading home.  We should be arriving at Lagmhor at approx 4:20.  The kids have had a great day.

WOW! First term done and dusted! 

Sorry for the delay in message, it has completely slipped my mind. 

Scooters - Children are able to bring their scooters to school each day to use during break times. They must have a helmet to do this - no helmet, no scootering. Scooters should be parked up in the bike rack area by the front gate.

End of Term Hero Posts- These will give you an update on what your child has been doing in Reading, Writing, Maths, Inquiry and P.E.

End of term treat- I am bringing in my slushy machine on Thursday, students will need to bring their OWN cup in, I will have straws :) 

I hope everyone manages to have some quality family time over the holiday break. We have had a very busy term and there’s already lots on the calendar for Term 2 - an 11 week term!

Upcoming dates:

Thursday 2 April - Last day of Term 1

Friday 3 April - Good Friday - No school

Monday 20 April - First day of Term 2

Good morning,

Mystery Eggs - It has been exciting guessing what we all have in our Mystery Eggs this week. There have been some tricky items and some great clues so far. If you child usually has a Friday news day, they can bring their egg tomorrow (Thursday).

Scooters - Children are able to bring their scooters to school each day to use during break times. They must have a helmet to do this - no helmet, no scootering. Scooters should be parked up in the bike rack area by the front gate.

Lateness - Please report to the office if your child happens to arrive at school after 8.55am. Class rolls have already been completed by this time and your child will be recorded as late. It is really important that everyone is at school before this time - it gives them a chance to settle into the day. Students should not be arriving through the school gates before 8.30am. Thanks for your support with this.

I hope everyone manages to have some quality family time over the holiday break. We have had a very busy term and there’s already lots on the calendar for Term 2 - an 11 week term!

Upcoming dates:

Thursday 2 April - Last day of Term 1

Friday 3 April - Good Friday - No school
