Whānau Hui and Māori Community Consultation 3.15 Tuesday 29 August
Our next Whānau Hui meeting is to be held on Tuesday 29th August in the staffroom at 3.15pm. We currently have very low attendance at Whānau Hui meetings which is a shame as these termly meetings are designed to encourage and foster partnership with iwi and hapu. It would be grand if you were able to attend to support in directing the school with improving outcomes for Māori students through a Māori lens. An email will be sent out to all families who identify as Māori as well.
Skool Loop Instructions
Kia ora Netherby School Community. Please down load the Skool Loop applications that we will be using more and more to communicate with you. Remember to subscribe to Ashburton Netherby School, the Whole School Group and the classes your child/ren are in. Also select Kapa Haka and Pasifika if your child belongs to these two groups as well.
Children coming in 2024 are welcome. Please let us know so we can plan for it.
Kia ora Netherby School Community.
Although we are still in 2023, we need to start planning for 2024 now to ensure we have teachers in the right places for our expected roll.
It is always very helpful if you let Mrs Duffell in the office or Miss Stirnger in Room 7 know if you have a child coming to Netherby School in 2024 so we can plan for them.
As always, if you know of people in our enrolment zone, we ask for you to promote our school and encourage them to visit us as soon as convenient.
Kindest regards
Phil Wheeler
