Greetings to everyone who is, or has been supporting or helping our school
Attendance and Participation One of the Key Competencies promoted and valued in all NZ Schools is one
called, “Participating and Contributing.” It is therefore important that all
students are at school and involved in as much as possible of what goes on at
school, including camps, trips, and extra-curricular activities like sport, the
performing arts, kapahaka, etc. These events are also great for self-esteem,
and for building relationships between teacher and students, and among the
students.
These events, however, place an additional burden on the family finances. To
support families, Wellsford School offers a ‘weekly instalment option’ which
invites parents to make smaller, regular, payments to a school bank account,
e.g. $10/week. Our accounting system can track each family’s payments
separately. Parents can contact Lizz to have this account used to pay any
school expenses – camps, trips, uniform upgrades, visiting shows, school
donation, activity fees, etc. At any time a family can request a printout of
money paid in (and out) of the account. At the end of the year, parents can opt
to have the balance returned to them, or carry forward into the new year.
Contact Lizz, 09 423 8042, if you’d like to set this up.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION Hi, my name is Maretta Hodgson, I am a Public Health Nurse based at the school 2-3 days a week. If you have any health concerns about your
child; for example an itchy bite that is not healing and looks like it may have become infected and you would like me to treat it. Some other
health issues I can treat are Asthma, Eczema and toileting issues. Parental consent must be given for me to treat. If you think this free service
would be of help to you and your family at any time please let the school or I know.
I can be contacted on 021 227 8680. Feel free to txt me if you prefer.
A reminder to all parents/caregivers –
please name all school jackets and uniform items.
A large amount of unnamed jackets and polo shirts have accumulated at
the office. These will be washed and sold as second hand items through
the Uniform Shop.
The Uniform Shop
is open at the school office
every Wednesday morning at
8.30am.
Please note change of day.
PIE HELPERS – FRIDAY MORNINGS
We need three to four people to help with pies. We have a co-ordinator who will put you on a roster. If we
do not have more helpers within the next few weeks then we will, unfortunately, need to stop selling pies.
This is a good fundraiser for the SST and is a nice treat for the children. It would be a shame to see pies
finish. Contact Alisja Skelling 027 627 0457 if you can help.
A reminder to parents and caregivers to follow Wellsford School on Twitter

teacher component of this programme and we get very good
results with classroom behaviour as a result of
attending. Please consider looking into this as it is not often

enrolment information, please phone or see Kathy or Sharon

proven that children
benefit in a calm,
nurturing environment
where strong
attachments can be made
with a primary caregiver.
