PROPER EQUIPMENT AND STATIONERY
Children can not do their work if they don't have the correct equipment and stationery. They sometimes take home their books and pens and pencils and come back to school without them. Please remind them to always have a blue pen, a red pen, a ruler and a pencil at school. It is still only the first term and children are borrowing equipment from others. They use this as a reason not to do their work |
 |
LUNCHES
Please ensure that your children bring lunch to school every day. They receive free fruit everyday but still need to have lunch to keep their brain alert and focussed. Simple sandwiches are cheap and easy to make but small plastic containers of salad or taro pieces or chicken are also good and nutritious
