The school is proud of your achievements and the manner in which you demonstrate the school's values, as well as your enthusiastic support for your fellow peers.
As we embark on the second half of the school year, there are a range of events to look forward to:
Tonight - Structured Literacy - Parent/Whanau Session
Tonight - Structured Literacy - Parent/Whanau Session
We are looking forward to our parent/whanau Structured Literacy information evening tonight, facilitated by Kirsty Tatere from Liz Kane Literacy. Parents/whanau will learn about the structured literacy approach here at Hilltop School.
To support families, we will provide childcare for those who require it. Please email james@hilltop.org.nz if you require childcare including the number of children who will be attending. Parents/whanau who attend will be entered into a prize draw, with a chance to win vouchers worth $50 for Brand Fuel, Pak n Save, or a credit to your child’s school account. Additionally, the class with the highest parent attendance will receive a special prize…of a class mufti day and morning tea provided by the school.
Taiopenga Tūwharetoa 2023 - Tūwharetoa Festival - Tuesday 12th September
Students have been practicing hard for our performance at Taiopenga which is coming up in two weeks time. The performance times are as follows:
Teina- Maunga Tauhara, Pīhanga and Tongariro (Year 1,2,3) perform at 11.15 am
Tuakana- Maunga Titiraupenga, Ruapehu and Ngaruahoe (Year 4,5,6,7,8) at 1.20 pm
Gold coin koha/donation at the Taupō Events Centre.
Get there well before the performance time to get in because the doors close between school performances.
All Year 1,2,3,4 and 5 girls need their own plain black skirt and all boys need plain black rugby-type shorts and that they need to be given to their classroom teacher in a paper bag with their name and class number written on the bag. You might like to cover any small labels with black insulation tape, thanks.
PTA Quiz Night - Friday 27th October
This is always a fun night where parents, whanau and friends come along and support the school. Tickets are available now so get in quick as there are limited tables and they sell out fast. Further information below.
