Kaikoura Suburban School

Wednesday 17 February. Bike wise month.
Kaikoura Suburban School meet at R&R  and rode to Suburban School.
Every one was awesome.  I liked riding with everyone.

I like to thank the parents and Seaward Lions ladies who rode with us. I like to thank the Kaikoura District Council for the prizes.  I got a Bike Wise snap band and stickers for my helmet to keep safe.
When we got to school we filled tummies with toast and water.

I think it’s great how New Zealand supported this bike day.

We drove or biked to R&R sport at 8am. The Kaikoura District Council   gave out special  prizes.
We packed up and biked up 2 big hills to school.  Everyone was great.  We spotted school and headed straight there. We had  a big rest as we finished.
We would like to thank R&R Sport, Kaikoura District Council, the parents and the Seaward Lions ladies.
It was lots of fun.

Shearwaters fly high and dive for information as Fyffe Force Learners

We are a wonderful team, that have demonstrated co-operation, participation, managing self, respect, organisation, communication, excellence and fun while creating our class mural that we are all very proud of.

Come in and see it anytime.

Well done Shearwaters!

Only 3 sleeps to go before we begin another exciting year at Kaikoura Suburban School.  The staff have been working hard and their classrooms are looking terrific.  Thanks so much for all the work you do.
Our school bus and the Ministry bus will be running on Tuesday.  Remember to put your togs in as we will be swimming every day.  Thanks to Lou and Rodney for all their efforts over the holidays with the school pool.
Mr Hurst has been busy clearing the wood from the plantation so we are considering our next steps for this area.  We thank him for all the work he’s done and the way he has supported the school.
We have Board elections coming up at the end of Term 1 so it’s time to consider whether you would like to be part of the school’s governance and supporting the journey of the school who values the student’s needs as paramount.
We have a surprise for our Friday Fun day, which is the first Friday back at school.  Traditionally we have held something special on this day as a welcome back and a chance to catch up with familiar faces and to welcome new staff, students and their families to our school.  We will inform you of the plans as of next week.
The staff have a Teacher Only Day on Monday so if there are any concerns or questions please don’t hesitate to ring or call in.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday 2 February.

Happy New Year to you all.  The Spencer’s were very fortunate to spend time in the Marlborough Sounds over the Christmas period.  We spent lots of time kayaking, swimming and resting.
Saturday 9 January was a very special day for one of the school’s past teachers, Rachel Roberts now Mrs Rachel McLay.  Rachel and  Wesley were married and what a special day it was for them with their families and friends.
As we’re half way through the holiday break I hope you’re all feeling relaxed and rested ready for another amazing year at school.  The staff are busy planning and preparing the school for action.  School will commence on 2 February at 9am.  Enjoy the last few weeks and we look forward to seeing you all soon.
