Board Elections and Mask Wearing Term 3 2022
Kia ora Netherby School Community.
I trust you are all well. The break is coming to an end and I assume your children are keen to get back to school, mine certainly are.
In Term 3 the Ministry of Health highly recommends mask wearing for students Yr. 4 and above for the first four weeks of term. We send this message, but ultimately like many schools in our area and afar, leave the call up to you, as in it is optional to wear a mask until mandated. For more information on masks please visit the Ministry of Health websites.

Dates are as follows.

Subway Cup Success
Yesterday, the full Netherby Ripa Rugby Team headed to Oamaru to contest the Subway Cup, having qualified here in Ashburton a few weeks back. We made it all the way to the grand final where we lost to a better team on the day. However, 2nd place out of 20 other teams to make the finals, is a sterling effort and one worth celebrating. Credit to the wider team who all contributed to training practice, injury and illness cover, and for being there to support us on the field on the day. A shout out to Roz for her coaching of many of these players over the years, Tuvale for his on the day support, and Semi for coaching us to another level to be more competitive in this tournament. We had a truly awesome day. Great work Netherby Community. Not bad for a small family oriented school.
A big shout out to the Netherby School Support Staff!
A big shout out to the Netherby School Support Staff for all you do for our ākonga and kura. Great work Andrena, Cassie, Jan, Maureen, Rachel and Jodi. Enjoy the accolades, the morning tea and the NZEI paid union meeting today! We look forward to the annual parade in the hall! Have a great day. From us all.
