I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break! We now have the end of term in sight and a two week break to look
forward to, starting on Monday 19 April. A gentle reminder that children are to come back to school in full winter
uniform in Term 2.
It is great to hear that an after-school care service will continue in Term 2 and will run from Monday to
Friday. When the finer details of the service have been confirmed, these will be made known. Ka mau te wehi!

Baptisms, 2021
If you are wanting your child/children to receive the Sacrament of Baptism this year, please let Mrs James or Mr
Emms know. The programme will begin next term in approximately Week 5 and the Baptisms will happen at the end

This week’s Fruit of the Holy Spirit
focus is
Love.
Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes
that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure. It can
refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal
attachment like when you love your Mum and Dad or
when you love your brother and sister. Love might look
like you’re doing a kind thing for someone. It can be help-
ing out at a rest home and reading to someone elderly.
You are challenged this week to think about how can you show the Fruit of the
Holy Spirit, Love, at school?
YUMMY STICKERS– Keep eating those apples; we are still
collecting stickers.

WAIKATO DISTRICT COUNCIL
Long term plan consulta on
Come and see us to chat about our plans for the next ten years
Waikato District Council is gearing up to come and see you about its plans for the next ten years.
Feedback opened on Wednesday 7 April and closes at 5pm on Friday, 7 May.
Our plan, which is reviewed and updated every three years, is asking three key ques%ons this %me
around. We want to know what general rate increase op%on you prefer, if we should sell our pensioner
housing and if we should con%nue our inorganic kerbside rubbish collec%on service. At the same
%me, we’ll also be asking for feedback on user fees and charges, our development contribu%ons policy
and the community hall catchment review.
If our preferred op%on is supported, ratepayers will face a ‘go hard and go
early’ 9% average general rate increase in year 1 (2021/22) and then 3.5% for year 2 and 3 of the
plan. The other op%on, a more cau%ous approach, sets the general rate increase at 7% in year 1, 6% in
year 2 and 4% in year 3.
Our consulta%on document is available at all our Council offices and libraries, on our website and by
phoning us on 0800 492 452. For more informa%on including having your say, check
out www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz/ltp. Remember to get your feedback in by 5pm Friday 7 May.
Food and Nutrition
We have noticed more and more children coming to school in the morning eating bakery
items for breakfast or being delivered hot food ie – Hot Chips, Pies, Fried Chicken,
Donuts etc, to school at lunchtime. As this practice is not part of our Food and Nutritian
Policy, we ask that children bring a healthy, nutritious lunch to school each day and only
drink water at school. Treats can be given after school or at the weekends. Maybe you
could make eating breakfast and making school lunches at home a family time activity,
even if it means getting up half an hour earlier.
Below is our Healthy Food and Nutrician Policy.

environment.
Educating students about nutrition and encouraging healthy eating habits contributes to
their personal success and well-being, and to a healthier community for everyone.
Promoting healthy food choices
Healthy food choices are important to establish in childhood to support the child's
immediate physical and mental growth and development, and to set behaviours for the
future. We encourage and educate our students to be responsible for their own health.
We deliver clear and consistent messages about nutrition by:
• ensuring that any food provided by/through school follows
national food and nutrition guidelines
• incorporating nutrition education across the curriculum, including the health
programme
• encouraging staff members to model healthy food choices
• communicating our nutrition messages to the wider school community in various ways,
including the newsletter
• acknowledging the cultural diversity of our community with our nutrition messages
• considering our nutrition messages when deciding on class rewards and celebrations,
student prizes, fundraising activities, and school camp menus
• encouraging water as the best drinking option
• participating only in food-related events and initiatives that support healthy eating
practices e.g. Health Promoting Schools, 5+ a Day, Heart Foundation's Healthy
Heart Award and its School Food Programme, and Jump Rope for Heart
actively promoting physical activity as the partner of good nutrition.
