Burnham School is open for business as usual Tuesday 14th June

Dear Burnham Whanau,

School is open tomorrow and it's business as usual. We are safe, our team is all good and we are ready for another day of great learning. Let us know if you or your family require any support. 

Please join your child(ren) at school if you wish to. If you do want to come to school you might like to continue with the water blasting or weed eating we started over the weekend!

If you want your child(ren) to stay at home with you then that is also fine - just let us know if this is the case.

Please ensure your child(ren) has a drink bottle with them.

Ka kite apopo (see you tomorrow),
Rob and the team.

 

 

Water Polo for Kids

Perfect timing to give the kids a new experience and a great work out - check out water polo at Wharenui Pool this Sunday or the 20th Feb. This would be a great chance to help develop swimming skills and I guarantee the kids will sleep well on the night!

I was really proud of the way Cadence and Kris delivered your speech to honour the ANZACs yesterday. Well done boys, you spoke with confidence, clarity and your messages were well-received.

For those who didn't get to attend, here is a link to the speech which was delivered at the dawn service yesterday. Thank you to Jayden and Sena who supported the writing of this speech.
