Kia ora Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome to the Term 1, Week 11 Newsletter.

Thank you for all your support during Term 1. It has been great to enjoy together so many things across this term. Looking back there have been many highlights including: start of year mihi whakatau, swimming sports, Easter services and today bucket drumming. I am incredibly grateful for the support we have received from the parent community and also the continued hard work from the staff.

Thank you again for your support and prayers for the school. Enjoy the term break and we look forward to seeing everyone back for Term 2 on Monday 29th April.

Blessings

Alistair

Winter Sport 2024

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

During Term 2 & 3, on a Friday afternoon for 6 weeks per term we have teams of Year 5-8 students travel to Hagley park to play Football, Hockey & Netball against other schools from around Christchurch. We typically trial for teams late in Term 1 or early in Term 2 depending on timings and other events.

For us to be able to enter into these competitions, we need some parents who are able to help with the coaching of a team on a Friday afternoon.

This typically takes from 12:30pm – 3:15pm if you come with us on the bus or from 1pm – 2:15pm if you meet us at Hagley park.

If you are able to help, or would like some further informartion please contact Tom Littlejohn tom@emmanuelchristian.school.nz

Without some parent help we would not be able to be fully invovled in this valuable activity.

Thank you for considering this.

Winter Uniform

Winter Uniform is to be worn in Terms 2 and 3.

All our Uniform is available to purchase from Mainland Uniforms (Wairakei Rd) or from their website.
