Tena koutou e te whanau  hi mihi nui ki a koutou katoa

During the term our tamariki have been exploring the Arts which form an integral component of our developing integrated curriculum across rōpu at Ritimana. The most important aspect of this exhibition is our opportunity to share in the creative process that we all have and can share as human beings. 
We share an important message with our community through our art ‘Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle’.
All donations will contribute to our evolving arts curriculum.

What will our festival look like this year?

• Our tamariki will have the opportunity to share and celebrate their artwork. This will be displayed in our school hall from 5.30pm on Thursday evening on the 24th of June and you are invited to come along and join us from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.

• Your child’s artwork can be purchased online via Kindo for $10 per artwork. This will be available for purchase by accessing Kindo from our school website or from the link below from Monday 21st June to Friday 2 July.
• All purchased artwork will go home between Monday 28th June to Friday 9th July.
• Kindo online shop

                                                                         Kia ora           Talofa lava          Greetings           Bonjour

We would like to share with you our most recent updates. After consultation with our tumuaki classrooms wehave collectively come to the decision that our two charities for the year are:

●Mercy Hospice on College Hill. We have been researching and sharing what it means to contribute to our community. It certainly is bigger than us! There is more information at the following link: Mercy Hospice

●Our Local Animal Shelter - it is called Chained Dog in Point Chevalier. 
This organisation is currently in need of pet beds so if you have any spare pet beds for dogs please contact us at: kurakaunihera@richmondroad.school.nz
There is more information at the following link: ChainedDog

Our next Big Event is a Sausage Sizzle on Friday 18th June at lunchtime. The cost is $2 per sausage and there will be a vegetarian option available. Please support this event as we are aiming to make this every 2weeks. All profit will be going to The Mercy Hospice on College Hill. We will continue to keep you posted on updates.

Go well whānau
