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.

School Board Elections

The Board elections are taking place.

Dates are as follows.

Monday 25 July - nominations posted out

Wednesday 27 July - main roll closes

1st August - supplementary roll closes

17 August - nominations close at noon

So look out for the nomination form and if you are keen to be involved with the school at the Governance level get nominated, or at the least have a chat with current School Board Members or speak to me, the principal.

Enjoy the weekend.

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.
