If there are any 5 year olds in our zone who are intending to start in 2017, please let the office know so that we can secure your place. There is heavy demand for out of zone spaces.  Please contact admin@bombay.school.nz

If you would like a copy of the Wizard of OZ, please send a clearly named 16GB usb data stick.  It must be 16GB or bigger.
Mr Petersen will copy the video in the order that he received the usb data sticks.  This offer will only be available until the end of September.  

If your child is a keen sports minded person, why not consider enrolling in the Kelly Sports Morning Programme which starts in term 4.  Have a look at their advert which is at the end of this newsletter.  They will operate on the school grounds and in the War Memorial Hall (on wet days). Well worth considering!

Thank you for your support.  We can assure you that teachers did not take the decision to hold this meeting lightly.  Education professionals want to see better funding, not bulk funding.  We are very grateful for the way our school community worked together to ensure that children were looked after and to ensure that teachers could meet to discuss the Ministry's reform proposals.

This terms Awards Assembly will be held on Friday 23 September at 1.50pm. All welcome.

All 8 to 13 year old children with chickens are to bring their completed Diaries to the office by Friday 23 September.
5 to 7 year olds will need to bring theirs in on the first day of Term 4.

Our next meeting is Monday 19 September @ 7pm in the staffroom. All welcome.

PHS are having a catch up enrolment night Thurs 15 September 3-7pm in the library.
