Good Afternoon Families,

As of 2pm today the MOE has advised us that Boards of Trustees now have the discretion to reopen based on their own assessment of conditions on their site.Following this announcement, the board has decided that we will open tomorrow.

Buses?

The F10 and F3 buses will run in the morning and afternoon as usual. We have no information on the late bus (345pm) because it will depend on whether or not Pukekohe High reopens tomorrow. Be prepared to make alternate arrangements.

What if we have made alternate arrangements and our children cannot start back tomorrow?

That is fine. Start them 7 Feb. We will not mark them as absent.

Will KAS be operating?

Yes - KAS will be open as usual.

What time can we drop the children off?

Children are free to come on-site from 820am onward.

Children can be collected from 250pm onward.

New Entrants - Miss Hunt will keep your child until you collect him/ her from the classroom.

Any questions - please email admin@bombay.school.nz - do not use Seesaw, Facebook etc.

We need to keep all the info coming through one stream at this time due to the volume of questions and who is available to reply etc.

Thank you for your understanding. It's been an odd start but we are raring to go!

See you tomorrow.

Regards

Paul PetersenPrincipal Bombay Schoolwww.bombay.school.nz09 2361012

There, students can try on uniform and orders can be placed and paid for by eftpos, credit card, cash or internet banking.

Ordering and Payment

If you know what items you require and the sizes, then ordering can be done online. Order forms are available for download on the school website – once filled out, please email to the school office and submit your payment. Payment can be made via internet banking or via the school office. Alternatively hand your order in to the school office.

House Tees

The offer to supply House Tees year round continues, and while this is a separate order form (one tee shirt per order form) payment can be included with other uniform orders.

As House Tees are personalised, there is a monthly ordering schedule (approx. 2-3 orders per term) ideally with delivery prior to a school sports or cultural event. The next house tee deadline will be for orders placed by 4pm 28 November 2022 for delivery on 6 December 2022.

New Entrant Uniform

In the absence of a face-to-face consultation with caregivers of new entrants who are buying school uniform for the first time, there is a New Entrant Uniform guide on the school website. It outlines how to select a size, which garments and how many.

Recycled Uniform

Please note that we are no longer doing second hand uniform. This is now being offered by Home and School on Facebook.

Uniform for 2023

Before Term 1 2023, the Uniform Room will be open –

8-9am Thursday 19 January for uniform try-ons and orders. Online orders can be made to the school office by midday on this day. Any uniform orders placed after this date may not be ready before school starts on Tuesday 31 January 2023.

The Uniform Room will be open again –

8-9am Friday 27 January for uniform pick-ups

Please also note that new uniform orders placed once Term 1 is underway may not be fulfilled as quickly as usual due to public holidays and other market demands while schools are starting back. Where possible please order at the end of this year or by 19 January 2023.

Orders can also be placed up to the last day of school in 2022.
