Last week we had our Year 5 and 6 Camp Raglan as well as our Year 7 and 8 Sports Camp. We were so fortunate with the beautiful weather. Both camps were a huge success and our staff, including myself all proudly noted the way our tamariki were able to show our school values while they were out of school grounds. It makes camps a pleasure when the students are so respectful and show appreciation for the extra opportunities they have available to them. Sports Camp was a particular highlight this year with Puketaha School coming 2nd overall out of 10 highly competitive teams. Congratulations to all involved in the Sports Camp team. Thank you also to our Sponsors Waikato Wardrobes, Hamilton Fencing, Lawn Solutions, Steve and Simone Parkes Lodge Real Estate, Naylor Builders, Accounting Extra and Kukri.

Yesterday was a fun day with so many crazy hairstyles and wigs, supporting the Child Cancer Charity. We were able to raise over $600! So thank you all for participating and for your donations. You can still donate by going to https://wigwednesday.org.nz/puketahaschool

Spring Fair is not far away now and things are coming together. The P.T.A now need helpers to help man the stalls. There is a sign up sheet at the front of the school if you are able to dedicate an hour or two of your time on Saturday the 24th. 

Kia pai te mutunga wiki. Hope you all have a lovely weekend. 

Ngaa mihi,
