Our students are learning about changes over time to help them appreciate the developments that have happened over the years. Grandparents and Caregivers Day Tomorrow, Friday 16 September we are having a grandparent and caregivers day. We would like to invite all grandparents and caregivers to share in your children’s education between 10:30am and 12:30pm. We will have morning tea in the hall and then a visit to your children’s class between 11:00am and 12:30pm. Grandparents and Caregivers are welcome to bring a ‘cut lunch’ and spend lunchtime with your children. There will not be any Subway lunches available.
There will be no assembly this week. Working Bee We are organising a working bee to prepare, paint and tidy up the entrance to the hall. If you are able to assist us, can you please contact the school office. We will be in touch to organise dates and times. Welcome to Lennyx Leach and Evie Watts who have started at Hutt Central School this week. It is great to have you at our school. Student Work Leanna Thomas shared her writing with me this week. I was impressed with the information she gave about finding a Monarch Butterfly. Kia ora, Naku noa Michael Gendall

Hells Pizza Lunch – Wednesday 21st September Our second pizza lunch day for the year will be held on Wednesday 21st September. Children will be able to order a snack sized pizza for lunch from Hells Pizza. The cost is $5 per pizza with $1 from each pizza donated towards school fundraising projects. Order forms will be sent out this week and need to be returned by 9am Tuesday 20th September.
Cash only no change can be given and late orders will not be accepted. Lost Property: Please check the lost property box outside Room 6 for any clothing which may belong to you. The lost property will be removed from the school by the end of the term. Also check your child's cloakroom as any missing clothing could have been left there. Thanks. NEEDED PLEASE We are finding that the recent rain has inspired some of our middle and senior syndicate children to play in the mud ……. Therefore we are in need of spare trousers of the larger sizes. If you have some that are not needed any more we would love to have them in the school office.
