What do you think of ERO’s parent booklets?

The Education Review Office (ERO) evaluates and reports on the education and care of students in schools and early childhood centres.  They have asked us to pass this message on to you.

"ERO publishes a series of five booklets for parents and caregivers.

We want to find out how useful the information is to parents, how the booklets can be improved, and if parents would prefer to receive the information in a different way.

We’re starting with a survey of How is my child doing? To take part in the survey and to download a copy of the booklet, go to the ERO website. The survey runs until the end of September and only takes a few minutes to complete.

Meanwhile if you would like a hard copy of one of the booklets email  info@ero.govt.nz "

We will be welcoming ERO to Sylvia Park School in the fourth term as part of our current four to five year review cycle.

Congratulations Whaea Barb!

It is with much excitement and pleasure that our Principal, Barbara Ala'alatoa, has been awarded the Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) for Services to Education.  

As a school we are very proud and honoured to have such an outstanding Principal as Whaea Barb.

Thank you for the "window of opportunity' that you provide our life long learners.  Keep shaping the future, Whaea Barb, we're so lucky to have you at our school.

New classrooms!

You may have noticed a few new things that came on a big truck last week and were placed into the school grounds....

We're growing so fast that we need some extra space for classrooms.  They are only temporary, we are planning to have our very own brand new block of classes ready for the beginning of next year but we couldn't wait that long.  

These classes will soon be giving lots of kids the space they need - we can't wait to see them buzzing with learning like our other classrooms!

Goodbye swimming pool

It's been great having the pool at our school for the summer terms but unfortunately it has had to go off to another school so we can use the space for other things.  Here is a big

Thank You

to all of the people - parents, students, teachers and friends of our school who helped to get the pool in place and packed up ready to go again.  Your help and support means that we can provide our kids with these special experiences.
