Our Aspirations

Kia ora whānau! ☀️

Great news — the school pool is officially OPEN and ready for action!

With the weather warming up, our goal is to get the kids in the water for a splash every single day between now and the end of the term.

Please make sure to pack those togs and towels in their school bags each morning so your tamariki don't miss out on the fun.

Let the swimming season begin! 🏊‍♂️🤽‍♀️

 

please return any pool keys from 2024 / 2025 to the office - new keys will be issued if required. 

If parents are wanting to purchase a key for this summer season please contact Vicky in the office.

Kia ora Parents and Caregivers,

Please be advised that tomorrow's glass bottom boat excursion for Room 2 has been postponed. The new date for the trip is Friday, 20th November.

While the weather for tomorrow is looking much better than it has over the past few days, the recent heavy rain means we are expecting fairly poor water visibility. Since the highlight of the tour is seeing the marine life, we want to ensure the students get the best possible experience and have decided to hold off until the water clears.

Thank you for your understanding. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the rescheduled date.

Ngā mihi,
Coroglen School

Kia ora Coroglen Whānau!

We have an action-packed day coming up on Friday, 6 November, featuring a local adventure and an opportunity to support a fantastic, life-saving cause.

Mercury Bay Museum Trip & Picnic We are incredibly excited to take the school down to the Mercury Bay Museum! During our visit, students will have the amazing opportunity to explore the Te Papa exhibition, Colossal Squid Ngu Tipua, alongside the 'Going Going Gone Oceans' exhibition, specially created in collaboration with the Department of Conservation and Waikato Regional Council.

All students will travel to the museum via the school van and staff cars. To make the day even more special, a delicious picnic lunch will be supplied for everyone at the park.

Please note the schedule and pick-up arrangements for the day:

Junior Session (12:30 PM – 1:30 PM): Please collect your children directly from the park after their session. A classroom teacher will be at the park to supervise.

Senior Session (2:00 PM – 3:00 PM): Seniors will also need to be collected from the park following the conclusion of their session.
Important Trip Notes:

Technology Students: You will be picked up by the school van from the Mercury Bay Area School bus bay at 1:30 PM and transported directly to the museum.

This trip is fully covered under our Blanket Permission, so no additional forms are required.
Booster Seats Needed: Our school van currently has 10 booster seats, but we need 5 more to safely transport everyone. If you have a spare booster seat we can borrow for the day, please let the office know as soon as possible!

Gumboot Up! Friday While we are out having fun, we are also standing together to support young Kiwis in need. Friday is Gumboot Up! day. Since 2019, this incredible initiative has delivered over 170,000 free, immediate therapy sessions to young New Zealanders.

We are passionately committed to helping them continue this crucial work. Please send your children to school wearing their best gumboots and bring a Gold Coin Donation. Your heartfelt support and generosity are deeply appreciated; it’s life-saving.

Thank you for helping us make this Friday both fun and meaningful!

Warm regards,

The Team at Coroglen School
