If you would like to place an advertisement in the end of term

Spiral Magazine, please contact Dana in the office:

The Spiral is distributed in hardcopy to all school and kindergarten

families and posted on our website for the public to view. The

FAIR RESULTS

We know you are all waiting with great anticipation to find out the

results from the Summer Fair. A special School Link message will

be sent early next week.

NATIVITY PLAY We would like to warmly invite the community to our Nativity

Play. There will be two performances:

Tuesday 15th of December at 9.15am

Wednesday 16th of December at 9.15am

The Tuesday performance is suitable for families with younger

children, who still find it hard to be quiet through a whole

performance. Also we give the opportunity to take pictures or film

on Tuesday. Wednesday will be a performance where no photos

or filming will be allowed.

We look forward to seeing you there.

ACCOMMODATION HELP

We have a new staff member working alongside John Lawry in the

Outdoor Classroom next year. Some of you may have met Luis at

the fair or at one of our parent workshops.

Luis and his family currently live on Waiheke Island. To make the

commute to work less daunting, Luis is looking for either:

Somewhere he can board for a couple of nights a week, or

House sitting opportunities in Auckland for him and his

family.

If you are able to help or know someone who can, please contact

Dana in the office: danam@michaelpark.school.nz

CARDBOARD COLLECTION For some years now we have had a Full Circle cardboard

collection bin located in the top carpark. We invited

families to bring their unwanted cardboard to school as

we were paid a small contribution for this recycling

collection.

Unfortunately this service is being cancelled and we will

now have to pay a fee for cardboard to be collected.

We thank those parents who have supported this

initiative but we must ask that you do not bring cardboard

to school for recycling from now on.
