ADDITIONAL NOTICES
YEAR 3-6 SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHS - As advised in a previous newsletter, please be aware that only Year 3-6 sports teams will be photographed this year.
Sports photographs are taking place on Tuesday 12th August—please ensure that your child is wearing school uniform to/from school on the day and bring their sports uniform to change into when they are called up for photos. This photo opportunity includes Year 3-6 after school sports—basketball (including players from Semester 1), flippaball (including players from Terms 1 and 2), hockey and netball. Netball players are asked not to wear leggings or long sleeved shirts under their netball dresses for the photos.
If you are a team coach/manager and wish to be in the team photo (to be taken between 9.15am - 10.30am), please make contact with Michelle Molesworth, After School Sports Co-ordinator (mmolesworth@albany.school.nz) by Friday 8th August with your requested time so that she can book your team into the proposed timetable.
SAFETY FENCING – will be set up over the weekend over the ‘old’ courts as the site is prepared for our new hall build. Be aware that trucks will be accessing our school grounds. Please keep out of the fenced off areas.
BINGO NIGHT - FOS presents a fun and social BINGO Night for adults in the staffroom on Friday 22nd August, 7.00pm-9.00pm. $5 ticket entry only. Shared supper provided by the FOS team. You are welcome to bring your friends along!
This will be a fun filled evening including social games and interaction – not a prize oriented event! However if you are able to provide services or donations that we can use as prizes please contact the school office. All sponsors will be acknowledged on the night and in our newsletter.
$5 tickets are available from the school office, or pay online into our school bank account (12 3072 0043717 00) using your child’s name and Bingo as the reference and we will get the tickets to them (one ticket required per person).
Even if you've never played BINGO before, full instructions will be given on the night. Numbers will be verbally announced, as well as being displayed on a screen.
If you have any questions or require further information, please contact Jan in the school office (phone: 09 415 9668 or email: jmunroe@albany.school.nz)
