Calf Club Raffle - We need ideas please.
Vita Mitchell has organised the calf club raffle for the last few years.  It's been a challenge to come up with ideas for prizes that would appeal to all.  In the past we've had travel vouchers, ipads, ipods and Mitre 10 vouchers.  Have you got any ideas for the first, second and third prizes? What would really appeal to most people?  Please follow the link to a form where you can share your ideas with Vita.

Let's Stand Together
Dear Parents/ Caregivers,

I am writing to inform you that one of our students has recently been diagnosed with a tic disorder.
 
As a staff we will have the opportunity to meet with a psychologist to learn a little about what a tic disorder is and to consider along with the student and his mother how we can prepare to help him return to school.
 
We are likewise preparing ourselves and our students to make his return to school a successful one.
 
Each teacher is going to tell her or his students what a tic is so they have an age appropriate explanation of tics and are given some suggestions on how to respond to a person with a verbal and/or a motor tic.

We have created resource page on our website about Tic Disorder for your information which includes YouTube videos which I suggest you watch so as to gain some insight into the lives of children who have a tic disorder along with the families who are helping them to cope with their tics.  

( More information here : http://www.bombay.school.nz/954/pages/164-letter-to-bombay-parents )
 
Should you have any queries about this matter I would welcome you contacting me and I will do my best to answer your questions; however we are all on a steep learning curve here and we ourselves have much to learn about tic disorders and how we as a school and a community can respond in a way that is understanding, compassionate and supportive of all.

Regards
Paul Petersen
Principal

Despite the fog not really clearing for the whole day, the year 3 & 4 soccer teams had a really enjoyable day at the inter-school soccer tournament at the A & P Showgrounds.  The girls A grade team finished in third place in their section.  The other teams all had mixed results with some wins, some losses and even some draws, but everyone enjoyed their day of soccer.
A big thank you to the many parents who gave up their day to help support our soccer teams by managing. We appreciated this support.
