Welcome to Term 2! 

Let's kick off the term by looking back on what we achieved in Term 1!

With only one event which was the Kiri Team Picnic, we focused on the event calendar for the year ahead and got our lines of communication fully up and running with the Class coordinators. 

Our lunch options of Sushi, Pizza and Ice Blocks have been running well through out the term also. 

Here is a snap shot of the revenue each area has generated during Term 1; 

Revenue generated for the school

  • Sushi - $2066 Inc of GST
  • Pizza - $2991 Inc of GST
  • Ice blocks - $2326 Inc of GST
  • Kiri Picnic Sausage Sizzle - $265.70
  • Book Fair - $9354.25 (The school secures 35% of this revenue) 

A massive THANK YOU to each and every single person who has help in any way shape or form and THANK YOU to all of you who have donated in someway or another.

Green Fingers

During Term 1 and over the holidays we had 3 special families come forward keen to work some magic on a number of areas across the school. 

Jacob (Year 1) and parents Nick and Lisa added a splash of colour to the Kiri Gardens with some large plants and flowers. They are keen to continue to add to the space over time.

Finn (Year 4) and Noah (Year 1) along with their parents, Lucy and Matt put their green fingers to work at the back of the classroom at the top of the school adding in Vegetables, Herbs, Rhubarb and Spring Bulbs. They have plans to add some coloured shells and rocks to the space over time.

THANK YOU to you and your families for your time and efforts in improving our shared spaces across the school.
