 Term 1 Week 3 20 February 2015 Kia Ora te whanau, No mai hiri mai,
Good afternoon Salford Community,
We have a responsibility to provide a safe and enjoyable school setting. Under our Health and Safety
guideline, we require all students to have a sunhat at school for Terms 1 and 4 for appropriate use on
sunny days, at break, lunch time, and during physical education classes. We would appreciate your
support in this matter. Uniform hats can be purchased from: UniformNZ—$10.00 (can be ordered
through the school), The Warehouse—$11.50, and other suppliers in town of your choice. The uniform
hat is a navy blue bucket hat.
ROAD PATROL DUTY: Three “Parent Volunteers” have come forward for before school
Road Patrol Duty. Thank you. If anyone else would like to join a
before school roster, please let the office know at
admin@salford.school.nz with your name, preferred day of the week
and telephone contact details. Help us to keep Salford students
safe crossing the road.
PRE-ENROLMENTS 2015: Reminder to parents who have a child starting school in 2015, please
ensure your enrolment forms are into the office before the end of the month. This allows for both
New Entrant class planning through the year, and the Schools Roll return in March.
Kind regards Kevin Orlowski
SALFORD SCHOOL PTA UNIFORM SHOP
The Office is receiving regular inquiries regarding “preloved”
uniforms. Do you have any tucked in a drawer not being
used?
Would you like to donate your uniforms to the PTA for resale,
as they would be very much welcomed.
SCHOOL DONATION RECEIPTS 2014—will be forwarded to all families in the coming weeks. A reminder that the receipts will be issued for the 2014 school year, and not April to March. Where prac cal all families will also receive these receipts electronically and we encourage you to print and retain these for your Income Tax return as a percentage of your student dona on is recoverable. This is a donation that is assisting other Salford families in
our community.
The School is also in desperate need of little sized uniforms
for little people who have accidents with water, wet days and
muddy results. Unfortunately loan uniforms don’t always
come back .
Uniform items can be dropped at the office at any time.

The lost property basket has been relocated to the
photocopier room. As this is a working area for the
teaching team, please help us to keep the basket tidy when
looking for lost items.
We are only into Week 3 of Term 1 and already the lost
property basket is overflowing with the lovely weather we
are having. Too many clothing items are still unnamed.
PLEASE name your child’s clothing so that it can be
returned.
