Week 9 news

It is almost showtime! 🎭

The countdown is on until our production next week. Thank you to our awesome community who have responded to Rosarah's SOS for lighting and sound expertise. The night show is sold out, but there are tickets still available for the matinee on Wednesday. 

I would very much like to acknowledge our whole team that are contributing to the success of next week's show and especially tautoko to the creative director Miss Hardie! 

Property news 🦺

The BOT has secured four airtime hoops for our new court spaces. These are similar to the hoops popular at Nairn Street Park, but I do indeed hope that are treated with more care and respect than I have seen at Nairn Street. The bell cairn reinstatement is well underway, and when we return from the holidays, the roof and the bluestone will be in place.

Staffing news ✅

Emma Riley returns from maternity leave at the start of Term 4; we hope you have enjoyed the time at home with your new pēpi Archie. 

We thank Nicole Wilson for her outstanding mahi over the last two terms. Nicole is a highly skilled teacher who goes above and beyond for her tamariki. We are very sad you are leaving but thrilled the team at East Taieri School will benefit from your excellent teaching.

Jump Jam fundraiser 💃🏻
