Year 7 Camp - Next Week
As we excitedly anticipate our upcoming
YR 7 EOTC week, we are taking part in some different activities this year for
the children to experience co-operation and challenge in the outdoors.
With a full complement of a range of activities including Adrenalin
Forest, Mini Golf, A Zoo adventure and sleepover, as well as some local
activities - it’s looking like it will also be exciting and a lot of fun!
Let's just hope the sun shines so we can enjoy our local environment.
This is a great opportunity for the
year 7 students to demonstrate our school values in action, and for the
children to demonstrate their leadership potential and capabilities in a
different setting, as some of these students will be selected early next year
as our school leaders for 2019.

Last week we announced our policies
are now under SchoolDocs, a company who work with schools to create a website

FROM THE SCHOOL
Scholastic
Our last scholastic catalogue for the
year should have arrived home this week or you can find it at https://www.scholastic.co.nz/parents/lucky-book-club/ Issue 8 orders will close on Friday the 30th of November
in order for purchases to be received before the end of term. Orders can be
made online at https://mybookclub.scholastic.co.nz/Parent/Login.aspx or by returning the order form along with a cheque made
out to Scholastic NZ to the school office. Sorry we are unable to accept cash
orders. If you would like to order gifts for your child please select this
online and these will be left in the office for your collection rather than
given to the student.
We would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for your support of Lucky Book Club through the year
as this has enabled us to purchase many new books for our school library for
all our students to enjoy.
Hutt Hamper Elves - Christmas Themed Mufti Day
Christmas can be a really hard time when you’re already struggling to
make ends meet. That’s why, for the past four years, The Hutt Hamper Elves been
fundraising to provide hampers of food for families in need across the Hutt
Valley at Christmas.
Muritai School is supporting the elves this year through a
Christmas-themed mufti day on Friday 30 November. Come dressed in Christmas
colours and clothing and bring a gold coin donation to support the Elves. Some
Elves will also be running a bake sale in the office, so come prepared to
purchase some delicious home baking!
All of our work is done by volunteers, so every dollar you give goes
straight to the families who need it most.
This year, we are aiming to help over 150 families this Christmas, so every
little bit counts. If you would like to provide a further donation to the Hutt
Hamper Elves project, you can donate at our Givealittle page: [https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/hutt-hamper-elves] or contact Claire Turner on 0275585641.
