Karamata Fundraiser
Last term, as part of the 'taking action' phase of Tui’s Kiwi inquiry, Tui planned and planted a number of Treasure Hunts for Year 0 - 2 children to have fun with.
The children were asked to bring a gold coin donation which we were able to lay as a coin trail. In total we raised $172 for the Kiwis for Kiwi organisation based in Arthurs Pass.
Thank you. You will be pleased to know that Karamata
raised $1785.80, all of which is to be donated to
the spinal unit at Burwood Hospital.
From the Principal
Kia ora Whanau, 3 ½ weeks left on the countdown to year end. This week’s newsletter gives a few more details about end of year events and a little more of a run down of events at the beginning of 2021.
Transition Visits to 2021 ClassesWe are currently finalising staffing for 2021 and will begin to ensure class placements for children are as expected. In the next week, if there is any unexpected change for your child, you will be contacted by phone to discuss this. All children will visit their new 2021 classrooms for two short visits in the last two weeks of school.These will be held on Tuesday 8 December and Monday 14 December.
End of Year Assemblies We have 3 assemblies that you may like to programme in to your diaries.
Friday 11 December - Final Whole School House Colour Assembly at 9.05am
Tuesday 15 December - Leavers Assembly 6.30-8pmThis event is an acknowledgement for our Year 6 leavers but it is compulsory for our Year 5 students and for Year 3-5 students in kapahaka. We ask for our younger children to come along to support and thank our Year 6 children and their families for all they have contributed to our school.
Thursday 17 December - Final Christmas Assembly - 11.30am This is a full school fun assembly with a Christmas theme where we will also acknowledge any staff who are leaving.

Week 1 2021:
Tuesday 2 February and Wednesday 3 February - Start up meetings - In 2021 these meetings will require parents and children to attend school together for a 45-50 minute meeting. Alongside meeting with your child’s teacher there will be some KEY and NEW information sharing points that you as parents will need to engage with at this point. Sign up for these meetings will be available for you from Wednesday 9 December.
Wednesday 3 February - All Year 6 students are required at school from 9.00am for the full day - there will be some leadership training and some out of school team building activity on this day. More information on this will be provided to your children at their transition meeting
Thursday 4 FebruaryWe are running a full day of Citizen21 Safeguarding children and adults online seminars with expert John Parsons. John is a very busy man and we have had him booked for this work around cyber safety for nearly a year so we are looking forward to him working with children, staff and parents over this day. We will be running an evening parent session and possibly one during the day as well. Please put this date in your diary. It is your child’s first full day at school. Here is a link to John’s website so you can get an idea of his expertise and the learning he will be sharing.

BYOD - Last week’s newsletter contained all the information you would need about Bring your own device for Paparoa Street School in 2021. PLease revisit this newsletter if you need information about this.
Paparoa Street PenguinDo you remember this guy?!
He has joined the whole flock of Christchurch Penguins and is on display in a secret location that is now not so secret! If you would like to visit him and a few of his friends to see them exhibiting themselves then just pop into Papanui Library and see if you can find where he is hiding!
Fundraising Efforts Thanks again for supporting our Backwards Mufti Day today - there was all sorts of backwards and inside out all over the place from tops to hats, glasses, bags and more.
That is the last of our fundraising Mufti events BUT we have one last Ice Cream Sundae sale on Thursday 10 December - look out for orders coming your way on Kindo.
Thank you also to those who supported the Karamata fundraisers last Friday, You will be pleased to know that Karamata raised $1785.80, all of which is to be donated to the spinal unit at Burwood Hospital.
Our PTA is still working to connect our community. This time, next Friday 4 December, they will be preparing our Christmas Fair which runs from 3pm-6pm. Bring the family down for a couple of hours of Christmas fun and gift shopping.
I am on the small baby care for my whanau this weekend - will be back at school for a rest I think. Don’t get crushed in the Black Friday sales this weekend.
See you all next week.
