It's a newsletter day. See you in term 4!

What a wonderful assembly today! Well done to our MC’s Tate and Lillie. We enjoyed hearing all about flight from Room 17 - you really have been growing your learning and shared your knowledge so confidently. We couldn’t help but tap along to the beat of Room 15’s drumming! We also celebrated our Soaring High Awards from each of our teams, recognising the great things our learners are doing across the school. We were treated to Noah’s incredible speech, “Why Words Matter.” An inspiring message, shared beautifully and with such confidence. Well done, Noah. We wish all our SRP whānau a safe and happy holiday. Enjoy the break and we’ll see you all on Monday October 12, ready for Term 4!

Lily has remembered that hats are a must in term 4 and has popped in to sort a new one today. A reminder to have a hat hunt in the break to ensure you're ready to be sun smart on day one of the new term!

Welcome Bay Community Centre Food Drive: Last day tomorrow! Thanks to those who have donated thus far! We are supporting Welcome Bay Community Centre (WBCC) with a food drive. The WBCC currently supports more than 50 local families each week who are experiencing food insecurity. They would be grateful for donations of non perishable food items such as tinned goods, pasta, rice, cereals, long life milk and other pantry essentials. We have a box set up in the office for donations to be left. Thank you for your support.

And all of Mrs Tomich's favourite book characters joined in the celebrations today too! Book character dress up days are so much fun!

A big day for our school whānau today as we farewelled Tamara the Tooth Fairy, aka our beautiful Di. Di Tomich has been part of the Selwyn Ridge family for more than 30 years..since before our school even opened! She volunteered to help set things up and was covering school journals in an office at the Welcome Bay Shops way back in 1996. Since then she's continued to contribute hugely to our place in a number of roles; as parent to foundation pupil Paul and later Nicole, in the book room and office and library and as a friend and support to so many. We will sorely miss her gentle nature and uplifting presence and wish her all the best for a fabulous retirement. Her rescue dog Rosie is going to be so happy to have her at home! Mā te huruhuru ka rere te manu Thanks for everything Di and all the very best for your new chapter💙💚
