Ritimana Community Pānui 
​Wednesday 22nd November

​Kia ora, talofa, bonjour and greetings

We hope your week is going well as we move quickly towards Christmas and the School summer break. We have a few End of Year events coming up that we are excited about and the big Year 6 events for their final days at Ritimana. Year 6 students will receive more detailed information as we move closer to specific events.We have decided to postpone our Point Erin trip from next week to Term 1 as the weather does not look as warm as we would like for swimming at Point Erin, for adults or students. In February/March the weather is more likely to be mid 20s and warm for our tamariki and our parent helpers.
We do have our Christmas School Picnic coming up, our Night Market (PTA notice about this later in the newsletter) and other assemblies and trips for different rōpū. Please take the time to read all of the notices and look at all of the wonderful mahi happening across our kura. Enjoy the rest of your week.
​
Please note: Photos have arrived and will be going home today and tomorrow. Please check your children’s bags.
