Library Closing Date – 2nd December 2022

Dear Parents 

Westpark School’s library will be closing to students and staff at the end of Week 7 (week ending 2nd December).  This is to enable a complete stocktake of all books (and resources) to occur.

Can you please ensure that any library books that have been issued to your children are returned to the school by the end of that week.  Overdue Letters will be sent at the beginning of week 8 as a follow up for those students who have overdue books.  Please be aware that these letters may state that these overdue (or lost) books will incur a replacement cost if not returned to the school.

Thanks,

Fiona

Kia ora, Talofa, Kia orana,

Greetings Parents, Grandparents and Caregivers,

This correspondence is to let you all know that last Friday after school I announced to staff that Emily Osborn (DP/ Team Leader) and Nicola Woodward (Team Leader/ SenCo) are both expecting babies (within 10 days of each other!), and that they will both be taking maternity leave from the beginning of Term 2, 2023.

Neither are excited about their current morning sickness, however both are incredibly excited about their news and the road ahead. Staff’s reaction and joy last Friday afternoon for Emily and Nicola, only reinforced that there is little more exciting than when one brings a breath of fresh air into the world.

I know that many of you will have worked with Nicola and or Emily, and will be just as excited for them as staff are.

Regards,

Luis Echegaray

Fiafia Night 11 Nov 2022

Kia Ora, Talofa and warm Pacific greetings,

We proudly announce that Westpark Fia Fia Maori and Pacific Variety Night is back for 2022.

Westpark Fiafia Group’s aim is to teach our gifted students to showcase their talents through song and dance from our Pacific Islands and very own Aotearoa.

Last year was the first time the Fiafia Group was formed. Unfortunately due to covid our students were unable to perform in front of their family and friends but were lucky to perform in front of the school and had a video that our very own students edited to share.

This year we have the green light to go ahead and our students are very excited to showcase what they have learnt over the last 2 months.

The night will be jam-packed with a variety of talent with Pepeha from our students, a performance from our Girls Waiata Group and we will end the evening off with our amazing Fiafia Group.

So if you’re not doing anything on Friday 11th November at 6 pm at Raroa Hall we welcome all family and friends to an awesome event.

There will be a Koha donation at the door. Anything you can give will be much appreciated and all proceeds will go towards next year’s performance.

Regards

This is a final reminder that the disco sessions will be held tomorrow!

For the evening sessions, please drop off children at the front entrance to the hall and pick up from the exit at the back of the hall. To ensure all our children get home safely, children need to be picked up from the disco by an adult.
