Pink Shirt Day – Friday 19 May
CBS is excited to continue bringing the essence of ‘Pink Shirt Day’ alive in our school. The focus for this special day is on celebrating diversity and promoting kindness and inclusion. This aligns with our school values and our tamariki’s continual learning around including others, working together, being kind to each other, helping each other and seeking help when they need it.
Please encourage your child(ren) to wear anything pink to school on Friday as a sign of their support with making CBS a safe and supportive environment for all tamariki.
Kōrero Mai, Kōrero Atu, Mauri Tū, Mauri Ora!
Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying!
WELCOME – New Students

LOST PROPERTY
Please ensure that your children’s items are clearly labelled with their first and last name. Our lost property bins are located in Room 30 (adjacent to the Hall). Please come and have a look if your child is missing any item. These bins will be cleared out at the end of the term.
COMMUNITY FOREST
Our community forest is closed to the public for the foreseeable future, as it is undergoing repairs. Thank you.
