Athletics Day

A big thank you to all of the parents and the Home and School team who supported the Athletics Cluster of Tinwald, Chertsey, Fairton and Netherby School on Tuesday. The day was a resounding success thanks to the hard work of Miss Sloan, Mrs Oakley and Miss Taylor and everyone else who fulfilled their role with accuracy. The feedback from various parents was feedback of praise for our school and the way in which the Netherby children conducted themselves.   Great results too for many of our children. We look forward to hosting this wonderful event again in 2018.

Illness at School

Good afternoon. Almost 25% of our school children are away today ill. Please be aware there are an awful lot of stomach bugs and colds/coughs like illness at school currently. Many children have been sick in class or in the sickbay. If your child has been sent home in the last 24 hours I ask you to please keep them home until Monday, as the bugs appear extremely contagious. The symptoms include a fever, nausea and then vomiting. We appreciate your cooperation on this matter. Regards - Principal on behalf of the School Community.

Speed Sprints Barbecue Support

Morena all. As you know our Home and School cook the barbecue food for the Ashburton Speed Sprints on May 13 and 14. There are two hour time slots in which we need people to volunteer and cook and serve food under the supervision of Dean Smith. This money pays for so much to keep costs down for your children. Please help. The roster is in the office at school. See me, Mrs Hunt or Larissa Sluys. You get to watch the sprints for free too. Thanking you in advance. Phil Wheeler

Tip For Parents

Give your child every opportunity to read to you daily. Ten minutes of reading five times a week = 50 minutes of reading time a week.

If you did this for a minimum of 35 weeks a year we have your child engaging in text for 29 hours extra every year! That 29 hours helps your child read better because they do more miles, are exposed to many words, and importantly are exposed to many ideas through the text.

It is a win - win for all concerned!
