School Books
All school books (library books, home readers, literacy centre books etc) now need to be returned to school for our end-of-year stock take. Please have a good hunt around at home and in your school desk and return all school books. Thanks.

The first day of school for all MIS students next year is Wednesday 30th January. Students will come into the hall when the first bell rings at 8.50am to hear the class lists. Our 2nd hand uniform sale will be held on 22nd January at 10.00am. Families with uniforms to sell come along and display and sell their own uniforms. We do not sell on behalf or set the uniform prices. The day will also be advertised in the Piako Post closer to the time. The school will sell some uniform items on the day which have been donated back to school. For further information phone the school office on 889 6629.

All MIS trophies from prizegivings last year need to be returned to school as soon as posible please.
