Parent Help

It has been a while since my lost blog. It has been very busy around here! That really shouldn't be an excuse, because there is just so much to write about. I have chosen the topic of Parent Help for this post. Why? The last two weeks has seen the beginning of another term here at Wairakei, and with that, a number of parents around the school helping us in many ways. Last week, while finishing off some work before going outside for some interaction time with the children, I looked through the slim line blinds and saw three parents taking three different teams for sports practise, a volunteer high school student taking another, a parent coming out of a building after taking a PPP session, and another working in the office sorting out sports uniforms.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

Tonight we have our monthly Home and School Committee meeting. Yet again, there will be up to 16 / 17 parents attending this meeting all wanting to help with improving the educational outcomes for children here at Wairakei School.

Where oh where would we be without the support of parents, caregivers, family friends and indeed, friends of the school. Seeing these people turn up to support us at Cross Country, assemblies, tree plantings, music events is just way cool.

Thanks
