– a special welcome to you; we hope you enjoy your timewith us.

We currently have two student teachers in our school –

Kiri Paterson is in Room 13 with Helen Zachariassen andNina Foster is in Room 9 with Rachel Boyd.

Next week we will welcome Alison Slee to our school.Alison brings a wealth of experience with her; she has

taught in Canterbury schools and schools in other parts of New Zealand. Alison has taught at all levels of the schooland has also taught in schools overseas. Alison will beopening the next classroom for 5–year–old children in

Renwick 1.

While we were on holiday … • Work began on converting the Arts Centre into a

classroom• The junior sandpit was filled with sand – Sharland

Engineering and Footloose Holdings completedthe enclosure and roofing during term 2

Contact detailsIf your contact details changed over the holidays please

advise the school office. When children have healthemergencies or if your child is late or absent thatinformation is vital in order for us to contact you.

Swine Fly (H1N1)We are in the same situation as we were late in Term 2 –

managing the situation. We are following Ministry of Health advice on this matter the latest o f which is:

“Schools are being advised to keep a close eye on students and children with underlying health conditions. 

These children, including those with serious asthma, are particularly susceptible to the influenza virus, including the Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) swine flu.

The Ministries of Health and Education say it's important that schools take early action and call parents or caregivers of children who show symptoms.

Deputy Director of Public Health Dr Fran McGrath says students and children who have 

flu–like symptoms should stay at home until they are well and are no longer coughing or sneezing.For the vast majority of people this will be a mild 

to moderate il lness, however i t can be severe for some. If symptoms become worse, people should seek medical advice from their GP or phone Healthline on 0800 611116 .

Says Dr McGrath "This is usually three to four days from the start of symptoms, but it could be up to a week. Staying away from other people when you are sick will help slow the spread of the virus in the community and allow both schools and health services to better manage the impact of the flu pandemic." 

"This is an opportunity for students and teachers to remind themselves that personal hygiene is really important in reducing the chances of getting pandemic influenza, or passing it on to others. Simple measures can make a huge difference, so remember to cover coughs and sneezes and wash and dry your hands frequently."

On a rather chilly Monday afternooon in the holidaysan energetic band of helpers arrived armed with

shovels, brooms, buckets and wheelbarrows. Theirchallenge was to move 4 cubic metres of sand fromthe driveway between Room 11 and Room 10 intothe junior sandpit. What an amazing team we all

made and after just one hour the sand was allshifted and we were rewarded with a refreshing juicy.

Well done everyone and a big thankyou to the

School Community Group for making this happen! And many thanks also to Foothold Developments fortheir great job on the roof.
