FAIRFIELD PRIMARY SCHOOLS ENROLMENT SCHEME The consultation process for our proposed enrolment scheme is complete and we are now waiting for the Ministry of Education to confirm our zone.

Who will this affect? The introduction of the enrolment scheme will not affect any child who is currently attending Fairfield Primary School or who begins at Fairfield Primary School before the end of the 2017 school year.

The enrolment scheme will affect students who enrol and start from the beginning of the 2018 school year if their home address is outside of the zone we are allocated. Further information will be provided once our zone has been confirmed.

SUNHATS It is now compulsory for ALL students to be wearing a Fairfield Primary regulation sunhat. Children who do not have the regulation hat will be required to play in designated shade areas. Hats cost $10.00 and are purchased at the office.

TE WIKI O TE REO MAORI AT FAIRFIELD PRIMARY In week 4 (6th—10th November) Fairfield will be celebrating our unique Maori culture. The week with have a focus on powhiri and marae.

Teachers will be selecting their students based on attendance, attitude, behaviour and those who consistently show our Fairfield values. Selected students will be announced on Friday 24th November.

THE AMAZING RACE 2017 On Thursday 26th October, I participated in the Amazing Race at the Hamilton gardens. The best part about the amazing race was the games and the beautiful gardens. My favourite game was the flip and go because you had to bottle flip and throw a toy. Our group was the best at this game! The best garden had lots of white roses. It was like Alice in Wonderland roses. I just couldn’t believe there were 70 teams there from 38 schools. In my team we had 8 students and we were chosen because we are all role models who Consistently display the Fairfield Learner Values.
