All schools will be met by their hosts in the hall foyer from 5pm and shown to their allocated classroom to get changed. Your belongings will be safe to be left in the classroom. The evening is usually over by 7.30pm. This year there are likely to be signs to help guide us in.

Girls will come to Nayland College dressed in their kapa dresses. Boys will wear their black school shorts, and a plain black t-shirt if they wish.

Please indicate on the slip below whether your child is able to attend. If you are dropping off student(s) but not staying, please ensure they are “handed over” to a Birchwood teacher. Students being collected at the end will wait in the hall foyer.

Parent helpers- please let me know if you are available to help us on Tuesday.

Whānau- Please bring a plate for shared kai.

Little and easy finger food is ideal. Please label any plates or containers you want back with your name and Birchwood. Kai will be put on the trestle tables in the walkway outside (left of school office).

If you have any questions or comments, please do let me know.

Te Rakau Whakapapa Isel Market Opening

Isel Park – Thursday 18 October. Meet at 4.30 pm, perform 5.00- 5.30 pm.

Birchwood’s kapa haka group have had a busy time with performances lately! We have been asked to open the Isel Park market this Thursday evening, which is quite an honour for us.

Te Rakau Whakapapa will meet at Isel house at 4.30 pm. We perform from 5- 5.30 pm. I hope we can get lots of parents, whānau, and other people from our school community to support our students and Birchwood school. There will be Birchwood teachers ‘backstage’ to help out, but as always, support from our parents is greatly appreciated!

Our kōtiro will please wear kapa dresses to, and home from, Isel park. Dresses can be returned the following day. Boys are to wear plain black (school) shorts, and a plain black t-shirt if they wish.

When you arrive:

·       Find a tipare (head band) and tapeka (sash).

·       Shoes, sweaters, etc are folded neatly on your shoes.

·       Girls: find somebody to check whether your dress needs pinning.

Students need to be delivered to, and collected from Isel park. We cannot let students get home by themselves.

A huge plea to send me any film or photos you take for our blog. We don’t get to see ourselves perform! Please indicate on the slip below whether your child is able to attend.

If you have any questions or comments, please do let me know.
