Draft 2 September 2015 WEST EYRETON SCHOOL NORTH EYRE ROAD R.D.5 RANGIORA 7475 PHONE 03 3125850 FAX 03 3125896 Email [email protected] Online www.westeyreton.school.nz Thursday 3 September 2015 Dear Parents & Caregivers This week we were all extremely sad to receive news that one of our 5 year old pupils, Sophie McInerney, had died. Sophie was a delightful wee girl who gained so much pleasure from coming to school. Sophie had formed many friendships here at West Eyreton with pupils of all ages - we have all been touched by her, especially her happy demeanour, her beautiful smile and the big steps she was taking with her learning. On behalf of the West Eyreton School staff, pupils & Board of Trustees I extend our deepest sympathy to Sophie’s mother, Stacey, and family. Sophie’s funeral will be held this Saturday, 1.00 pm at the Oxford Town Hall. Children are welcome to attend with their parents. Jillian Gallagher Principal.

All junior children attending school tomorrow should go to Room 2 on their arrival at school and senior students to Room 7.

Pet Day 2015 – Information for new Parents & Pupils: Monday 19th October, (Postponement Day Tuesday 20th October) Pet Day Information: Pet Day is a traditional event at West Eyreton School, as it is in many rural and some urban schools throughout New Zealand. We continue to hold this event to provide encouragement to our children for the effort they put into raising and caring for their animals. Many, with the support and encouragement of their families, still raise farm animals from birth and in doing so, learn a lot about animal husbandry. Pet Day is their opportunity to show off their animals, to share their knowledge with judges and to take pride in participating in a show. These children are able to take part in the traditional Agricultural Club Award Scheme, which is explained below. Pet Day is for everyone, and although some children may not be involved in raising farm animals from birth, most have special pets of their own. For these children there are pet categories to enter and judges will also speak with them about their knowledge of the animal and the way they care for their pets. To give Pet Day a true rural show day atmosphere, and to encourage participation in other practical and creative activities, we also have a craft section in the hall. So, Pet Day provides the opportunity for all children to participate in some way. Please read carefully the information below so that you can select the best sections for your children to enter. Agricultural Club Award Scheme There is the option of participating in The Agricultural Club Award scheme that has been running in NZ for many years. The Boys' and Girls' Agricultural Club is a programme which encourages children to learn how to look after a farm animal from birth and/or to grow their own small garden. Upon achieving the following number of points special awards will be made and presented at our annual end of year prize-giving ceremony. The points are awarded each year but also accumulate over the time at school. This means that children can work towards earning their excellence certificate towards the end of primary school: • Achievement Badge - 26 points, • Red Bar - 42 points • Green Bar - 58 points, • Certificate of Excellence - 74 points Agricultural Club Categories: 1.
