Principal's Message

Dear families and friends of the school,

It's been another great week at school. Hearty congratulations to our cross-country participants and winners. We would also like to thank Mr Michie and his team for their organisation of the event. It was wonderful to see so many parents supporting their children. School is starting to feel normal again as COVID precautions start to ease.

Our next home and school meeting will take place at the Bombay AutoBahn 22 August @ 7pm.

We are hoping to get a few more parents along to the meeting and it might be easier if there is a glass or mug of something nice to purchase.

Help Please: Is there a parent who has a trailer and who could assist us to erect the Calf Club sign at the roundabout? Please let us know - admin@bombay.school.nz

If your year 1-7 child will be attending another school next year, please fill in this form to help us understand our numbers for 2023.
