Cashmere Avenue School

The Home & School bake sale is at 3pm this afternoon on the top court. Wow, we have so many yummy items - the trolley is very full plus we have some candy floss! Thanks to everyone for your baking and support.

We hope you have an enjoyable long weekend. We have a teacher only day on Tuesday 2 June and school will be closed for instruction.
We have been advised by Wellington Water that they will be undertaking some work on Cashmere Avenue on Tuesday and Wednesday and that you are may not be able to park in front of the School at drop off and pick up time on Wednesday. Ngā mihi

Tomorrow, Friday 15 May is Pink Shirt Day.

Due to the weather, our cross country will now start at 9am this morning following the roll. Thank you for your understanding.

Please be aware that Ranui Crescent (School side of the road) is closed due to resurfacing today and tomorrow 9am - 3pm.

As we commemorate Anzac Day this weekend, we think of all those affected by war, past and present.
We have crosses at the front of the school to honour those that gave their lives in WWI and WW II who lived in our Cashmere Streets. Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou- We will remember them
We hope you are able to cherish time with your whānau and we look forward to seeing you at school on Tuesday.

This morning we had our special opening of our new garden 'He Māra Mauri Tau'.
Mauri is the life force within, that we all have, interconnected with our mana and wairua. Tau is to be settled. In other words, mauri tau keeps our hauora in a state of balance. The Māra/garden provides a place for this to happen.

Ngā mihi to Matua Gary for his formal blessing of the garden with an ancient karakia.

The opening was followed by a walk through from our tamariki.

Thank you to Zoe, Fiona and the Home & School team for all the hard work you put in to our Colour Run. There was so much laughter, smiles and colour! Thanks also to our fabulous sponsors. It was fantastic to see so many of our community at the event.

We are super excited for the Colour Run on Sunday, 29 March. Hope to see you there - 11am - 2pm.
We will be located down the bottom of the School.
The driveway gate will be open to pedestrians.
No vehicular access to the School.
It will be lots of fun!
