Monday (Dec 9) Production
Just one more sleep until the opening night of our production, Kauri Whānau Musical Mashup! On Friday we made sure that everyone was sorted with the costume they needed. We have quite a few items at school that we have matched with children. All costumes need to be at school tomorrow (Monday), as we have a dress rehearsal in the morning and a performance for the school, in the afternoon.
You are more than welcome to bring as many friends and family as would like to come. Shows start at 7pm on Monday and Wednesday. We will be all finished before 8pm. Children needing face paint (Cats and Oliver) should meet in our hub between 5:30 and 6:30pm. All other children need to arrive at school dressed in costume and ready to perform by 6:45pm.
Wednesday (Dec 11) Sherrilee's Farewell, Production and Year 8 Transition Afternoon
Sherrilee, who has taught Te Reo Māori and kapa haka at Beckenham for 25 years will be farewelled at a special assembly in our courtyard starting at 9:30. Parents are welcome to attend.
We love having Dave, our 24/7 youth worker, as part of our team. He is a friend to all and a support for many. On Wednesday afternoon Dave has organised for the 24/7 youth workers from Cashmere High to come along and meet our Year 8s. They will run through a slideshow and then move out to the field for some fun activities. All Year 8s can join in the fun, no matter what high school they are heading to next year.
Our final production performance starts at 7pm. Same applies as has been written above for Monday.
Friday (Dec 13) Final Assembly and Corsair Bay Trip
Our final celebration assembly for the year will start at the earlier time of 9:15 and will probably go for an hour.
At 10:30 we will be jumping on two buses and heading to Corsair Bay for a fun day by the water. The forecast is for a hot day - hooray! Children need to come to school in uniform and bring the following in their bags:
- Togs and towel

We will be swimming, exploring the shore, playing on the beach, walking to Cass Bay and chilling out with friends.
Monday (Dec 16) Victoria Park Walk and Year 8 Pool and Pizza Party
Children are to come to school in mufti suitable for hill walking. We will be leaving school soon after 10am, headed for Bowenvale Ave and then up the walking track to Victoria Park.

The Cockfield's have very kindly offered to host this year's pool and pizza party for Year 8. Their house is just below Cashmere Primary School. We will email out the address later in the week.
