Welcome to Norfolk School

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

A huge thank you to all the parents who helped organise last week’s High Tea dinner. The hall was set up magnificently, while the food was superb. I know all the parents, Year 8’s and staff had a wonderful night, so from all of us THANK YOU

Dance Evening:
Tonight Norfolk School will be holding the end of year dance celebration at Kaimata Hall commencing at 7.00pm.

All students are expected to participate in this evening, making their own way to the venue. Students need to arrive by 6.50pm.

The evening will involve the school singing a number of songs, while classes will perform a variety of dances. Parents and grandparents are encouraged to attend as we celebrate the end of the school year, while also saying goodbye to our Year 8 students. If parents need any further information, please see Mrs Hitchcock.

URGENT – SCHOOL POOL KEYS:
The swimming pool has been painted. The pool should be ready to use by the last day of the term.

Parents can now collect pool keys from the office. The cost of a key is $60 + $5 returnable bond. The office staff would appreciate you purchasing your pool keys before the last day of term. Thank you.
