Welcome to the WMI KIT Notice for Term 3 Week 4
This has been a rollercoaster start to the term, and the pace is not slowing down! WMI students competed with vitality and integrity at the Winter Netball and Rugby Tournament, with a first place from the WMI Rugby Team. Gala Day was an amazing success and showed the WMI students as the amazing role models that they are. Fundraising for the Wellington Camp is continuing to reduce the cost of this amazing camp for you and your family. We really need to sell 60 more tickets for the ball or the event can’t go ahead. Please convince friends and family to join us for this unique event. A massive thank you to all the parents who have put so much work so far into planning this event. Your child will be bringing home three further fundraising opportunities today which we hope that you will get involved with: 1.Selling baking paper, first aid kits and other household products - return by 9th September, payment by 10th September 2.Hellers Bacon - return by 9th September, payment by 10th September 3. Cow Pat Bingo - each child to sell 6 x $2 tickets All information is included in the packs coming home today, Please ask your child if you do not receive them today. Any questions please email [email protected] or [email protected] We have checked this week that each student has the correct equipment and uniform for school. Please check with your child if they need any replacement books or stationery after this check. Also can you please check names in uniform as some students have lost hoodies and jackets. Dates for your diary: Tuesday 20th August : Court theatre visit Thursday 22nd August : Canterbury Winter Tournament: hockey and netball Friday 23rd August : Cow Pat Bingo ticket money due Have an awesome weekend and thanks for your continued support. Aaron and Anna Gala Day was a massive success today, and all the WMI students exceeded our expectations in terms of their organisation, their collaboration, their vitality and their effective communication with teachers and students of all ages. Early estimates suggest the whole event raised in excess of $2500 as well as being a rich, authentic (and exhausting!!) learning experience. Thanks to all of the help provided by parents and families, and the teachers at WMS.
