Mum’s Movie Night – Downtown Abbey 2
We are looking forward to our Mum’s Movie Night at Silky Otter this evening. We still have a few tickets left so if you forgot to get yours you can still come Please fill out this form.
The movie theater opens at 7.45 for a drink with the movie starting at 8pm. Tickets are $30 and include a glass of wine or other beverage. See you there!
Walking School Bus
Now that we are at Orange level we are ready to get our Walking School Bus moving again! Kohimarama School has historically had 6 different walking school buses which follow the routes in the map below. Being part of a walking school bus is a fun way to get to school and to form friendships with students from different levels in the school.
In order to get these buses walking we need a new Walking School Bus Coordinator. We have some route leaders still available but will need leaders for the green, orange and purple routes. Please let us know if you are able to help with any of these. If none of the below routes are suitable, but you are still keen to be part of the WSB program please also contact us at kohiptachair@gmail.com.
Ice Blocks, Pizza and Sushi Helpers
It was great to see so many children enjoying sushi, ice blocks and pizza last week, these treats help to break up the week and make school an even more exciting place to be.
The PTA still needs more helpers to distribute these so if you can come to school on a Wednesday from 10.15AM-11.15AM, or a Friday from 1PM-2PM these please consider helping out. You can sign up to help with Sushi HERE and with Ice-blocks & Pizza HERE.
