Thank you for all your support this year. It has been an unprecedented time, however it has offered many opportunities to look at different ways of doing things. Take care, take a break and enjoy your Christmas. Our Year 6 farewell assembly is on Wednesday 16 December at 11am-12pm. Please remember school finishes at 12pm on this day.
Frankley School Board of Trustees
At our last meeting of the year the Frankley School Board accepted the resignation of long standing staff member Jenny Cooksley. Jenny is a highly valued staff member. She has been with the school for nearly 30 years. She has been on leave for the last 18 months to care for her husband, John. Jenny will return in some capacity when the time is right and we will warmly welcome her enthusiasm and kindness back into our kura (school).

Child’s Hub
In response to numbers in Year groups and to further enhance the strengths of our teaching staff there will be changes to our hubs in 2021. A lot of time and thought has gone into this planning, and we are excited about the changes.
The hub programmes will reflect the Year groups and will enhance our new school vision:
Tū kaha - Tū manaaki - Tū ako
Courageous Caring Learner
The teachers will outline the hub teaching programmes at meet the teacher evening/whānau picnic on Tuesday 9 February. Please feel free to ask any questions on that evening or contact me directly.

We will be taking all of our Year 5 and 6 children to Te Wera Valley Lodge Camp, situated 37 kilometres from Stratford on the Forgotten World Highway 43. It borders on the Te Wera Forest, a half hour drive from Stratford. We will be needing support from whānau to make this camp successful. Please email me directly if you would like to attend. Police vetting needs to be completed before the end of this year so it is important that you let me know as soon as possible if you would like to spend 3 days at this beautiful spot. Some of you may have already been vetted in the last 2 years and will be on our school records.
