Camp 2024
Our children from Rooms 10, 11 & 12 had a fabulous time on camp this week at Woodend Christian Camp near Christchurch. Under the watchful eye of their teachers, the camp staff and volunteer parent helpers, children were able to enjoy a range of activites and responsibilities as well as getting to know each other even better in an environment away from school. A selection of photos below showcase some of the opportunities experienced at the camp.
Cross Country
Our Cross Country event is scheduled for Thursday 4th of April.
If you can help by lending us 10-12 hay bales please contact Miss Pringle ASAP by email: brittany@tinwald.school.nz
There was a notice on the 4th April regarding the approximate timetable. Roughly starting at 1pm, we work through the year levels until the end of the day.
Come and support if you can. Children can wear house colours.

School Gates
Just a friendly reminder that we need everyone to be vigilant about closing our school gates. We occasionally have children (especially in the junior area of the school) who want another cuddle from a parent and forget to stay inside the gates, or become distracted following a ball or such like, running outside our perimeter. It is important for their safety that we all help by closing the school gates each time we use them.
Up-to-Date Contact Information
It is essential that we have your most up-to-date contact information. Please make sure that we have your correct address and telephone numbers AS WELL AS at least one other person whom we can contact in an emergency situation - someone who would be able to make decisions on your behalf and/or collect your child if need be.
School Uniform
It is great to see so many of our students wearing the Tinwald School uniform with pride. We appreciate students wearing the correct uniform and would be grateful for an explanation if incorrect items are being worn. We do have a selection of uniform items available from our Second Hand Uniform Cupboard, operated by the school PTA. Please ask at the office if you would like to purchase additional uniform items.
We are more than happy to receive any excess uniform from families. It is washed by our PTA and put up for sale or donated where needed. Uniform can be dropped off at the office.
Subway Lunches
If you wish to order Subway for your child's lunch, you can do this through their website www.subwaylunches.co.nz You must log in and register on-line first and nominate our school for delivery. Only available Thursdays. Orders must be placed before 9am. Please remind your child to collect their lunch from the office on the day it is ordered.
