Term 2 Week 8

Kia ora e te whānau,

We are really fortunate at Marlborough Primary to have an incredibly talented staff, who are very dedicated to your tamariki. Our teachers really do want the absolute best for our akonga. Some of you will know that we recently advertised a position at school, to enable us to open another New Entrant classroom at the beginning of Term 3. It was really disappointing to note that we had a total of 4 applications for the position, with no suitable candidates found. As a result we have found ourselves having to swivel and swap a few staff. Whilst this is definitely not an ideal situation, we would far rather know that we are placing quality staff in front of classes.

We also have to say farewell to Mrs Kim, from Room 5, at the end of the term. Mrs Kim has been offered and accepted a position at Takapuna Normal Intermediate School. We wish her all the very best for her new position.

So, for Term 3 the staff list looks like this.

Room 1 Matua Kevin

Room 2 Matua Owen

Room 3 Mrs Hildelsey

Room 4 Mrs M

Room 5 Ms Shepherd

Room 6 Ms Bohling

Room 7 Mrs Saga

Room 8 Mrs Jones/Mrs Nichol

Room 9 Matua Xilu

Room 10 Mr Kay

Room 11 Mrs Hogarth

Room 12 Mrs Pratt

Room 13 Mrs Shoebridge

Room 14 Mrs Dickson

Room 15 Mrs V

Room 16 Whaea Kat

Room 17 Ms Kilduff

Room 18 Mrs Jones

Room 19 Ms Sumalbag

Room 20 Matua Brad

Thank you to all our fabulous families that are reducing the amounts of non-re-useable plastics in the lunch boxes. It is wonderful to see the excellent quality of food that our students are eating.

We want to ensure that our students are more sustainability aware, and our first action in this is to reduce the amount of small pieces of plastic that we have lying around the school. The two biggest culprits at the moment are the plastic straw wrappers from the like of Calciyum Milk and the little bottles of Yakkult. Both of these items are wonderful for our students to have, we just would appreciate if you could help us by taking the plastic wrapper off when you put the straws into their lunch boxes and maybe make a point of expecting the bottles to be in their lunch boxes when they get home.

We were very fortunate to be able to get a booking to have Harold from Life Education visit our school. We have some beautiful Harold artwork as a results and our students are much more aware of healthy eating and healthy relationships.
