Emergency Water Supply
The Hutt City Council have installed an emergency water tank behind Room 16 just inside the Tennsyon Street entrance to the School. The staff are undergoing training in Civil Defence. We will keep you informed of our earthquake, tsunami, and fire plan when we have completed updating it.
 
Visit from Trevor Mallard
Trevor Mallard, Labour MP, will be making a short visit to Wilford School on Monday morning at 10.00am until 10.50am.
 
Questions and Answers from the meeting on National Standards
Attached are the responses to the questions you asked at the National Standards meetings. If you wish to ask a question
or present a view to Anne Tolley, Minister of Education, you can email her on: anne.tolley@national.org.nz.
 
School Production – Tickets
When ordering tickets we would appreciate it if you could put the order form and money into an envelope. This ensures the money and order stay together if we are busy and unable to issue the tickets to you immediately. We will put the tickets in a brown envelope and they will go home with the eldest child the same day.   Thank you.
 
For your information the Junior School children will get to see the Middle/Senior production during school time, and the Middle/Senior school children will get to see the Junior School production during school time.    If you are buying tickets for siblings and other family members to attend any one of the shows they will have to pay the ticket price which is $3.00 for the afternoon performances and $5.00 for the evening performances.    As you are aware there are considerable costs involved in this production such as stage extensions and lighting and we do hope to recover these costs by ticket sales.
 
The children are working hard towards putting on a fantastic show for you all – we are getting very excited!!!
 
Children arriving late to school
It is a real concern to us that children are arriving at school after the bell has gone at 8.55am. Please ensure your child is in class ready to start the day by 8.50am. It is unsettling for the child and the class when they arrive late and they can miss out on important learning. Thank you.
 
 
Nga Puawai     Hui a Whanau!
 
Nau mai haere mai whanau ma! 
The tino kaupapa of the hui will be to talk about National Standards in Reading and Writing and how this will be reported to you at the end of the year. Room 10 students will explain to you how our writing process works!
Te Ra: Tuesday 21st September (note change of date)
Te Wa: 7.00 pm
Please bring some kai for supper.

Year 5 & 6 Rippa Rugby
On Thursday we went to Hutt Central School to play Rippa Rugby. This tournament had been postponed a number of times due to bad weather. We got to play two games before the rain set in for the day and the tournament had to be called off. 
 
Well done to all students on their playing and good behavior. A big thank you to Vari and Mark Nicholson, Jamie Maaka, Katie Salisbury, Maurena Pererana, Rob & Alison Silcock and Lisa Barrett who helped out and car pooled us back to school.

Wilford Wizards played EH Suns. Player of the Day was Tessa Buchanan and Milla Mauriohooho-apineru.   Due to a double booking of the Randwick School Hall we are playing on Tuesday next week – this will be a “one time” occurrence. The draw for Tuesday 7th September is:
 Wilford Wizards vs EH Stars at 5.00pm.
