Happy New Year! Welcome back to school. I hope you have had a relaxing break and enjoyed spending time with friends and family. We have had a number of new enrolments this year. We welcome all new families to Waihi East School. Our current school roll is 123, a fabulous number. We require 127 students in March for the Ministry to fund our 6th teacher. If you know of any new families to our area, please let us know.
The term is looking busy with our gala, Year 5/6 camp, school picnic, interviews and Beach Education (Room 1). It will be a very exciting term. We would appreciate helpers for all events. Please let us know how you would like to participate in our school. We have two new ways to communicate with the school community. Isobel Huggard has a Waihi East
facebook account for students/caregivers and Anne-Marie has a parents Facebook account for parents (Waihi East Parents Group). Check out both places. It’s a great way to meet people/get information.
I hope you are able to come to our beach picnic. It is a great way to meet others and to have a relaxing day together. I am looking forward to another positive year. Please drop in anytime for a chat.

Year books are going home on Monday the 14th December. These are yours to keep as a celebration of your childs learning over 2009. ENJOY! Included with year books for students in years 1-5 are class placements for 2010 and stationery lists. Careful placement of children into classrooms has been considered, however not all requests have been able to be met. Thank you for your support.
We had a fantastic big breaky this morning. Thank you to all volunteers who helped with this. Sadly Anne-Marie is standing down from leading Breakfast club at the end of this year. If you would like to take over this role or help out one day a week, please let Emily know.
