A friendly reminder that class, individual and sibling photos will be taken tomorrow 📸

Kia Ora Whānau,

A little more photo information ahead of our class/individual & sibling photos on Tuesday next week.

📸 Photolife is an out of town company & will be bringing 3 photographers with them. This will enable a smooth and stress free photo day for all.

📸 There is a time slot for sibling photos that include "out of school siblings"... Brothers or sisters who may attend other schools, but you wish for all your children to have a photo together. This time slot will be between 8:30 & 9:00 AM on Tuesday.

📸 All other sibling photos (Te Wharau siblings) will be taken in the afternoon.

📸 Class photos will begin at 9:15, starting with our junior classes and working through to our seniors. Please DON'T BE LATE to school on Tuesday, as we don't want anyone to miss their photo.

📸 After each class photo, students will be taken straight to have their individual photo.

📅Please return your "Sibling Photo Request" form to the office by tomorrow (Friday), or it will be assumed you do not want one taken.

Any queries, get in touch with the ladies in the office!

Ngā mihi
