Hi all
Bus Incident: We’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone in our community who rushed to our aid after our bus incident last week – we are very fortunate to have such amazing emergency response teams available to us, both in Ahuroa and Puhoi. We’d also like to say a special thank you to Russell Green at Puhoi River Motors, Gubbs, Ritchies and Leabourns for their support and offers of help.

We have several exciting programmes currently running that we would like to offer our wider community families.
Our seniors are involved in the CatchIt Schools Programme, run by The Forest Bridge Trust and the University of Auckland, which focuses on pest eradication in NZ. This is a community program. If you would be interested in coming along to one of the workshops run by the The Forest Bridge Trust let us know. Click here for more information.
Private music lessons are run by MusicRoom every Tuesday at Ahuroa School. We currently have 14 students making the most of this opportunity. 1:1 tuition on a large variety of instruments is available.
NXT Lego Robotics Workshops run every Friday afternoon from 2.30-4.30pm in our technology room. Next school holidays we will also be offering a 2 day course.
4 Year Old Friday is run every Friday from 11am-12.30pm. This the perfect way to introduce young ones to the school environment, in a gentle and fun way. There is no charge and all 4 year olds and their families are welcome to come along.
Ahuroa Take-aways! As an extension to our Friday school lunches, Angela Gibson will be making meals available as a family takeaway. Available for pick up every Friday after school. Orders and payment need to be into the school office by the Wednesday of each week. Cost: $5 per adult portion, $3.50 per child portion. Click here to view our Menu.
Before and After School Care is available every day at Ahuroa School from between 7-8am and 3-5pm. Bookings are essential. We are currently waiting on funding in hopes of being able to provide a free before and after school care service for our community.

Nominations are now invited for the election of 5 (five) parent representatives to the Ahuroa School Board of Trustees. A nomination form, information brochure and a notice calling for nominations can be collected from Ahuroa School during office hours, or from the Returning Officer. Nominations close at noon on 20th May 2016 and may be accompanied by signed candidates’ statements. There will also be a list of candidates’ names, as they come to hand, for inspection at the school.
What is a school board of trustees? Every state and state-integrated school in New Zealand has a board of trustees. School board membership includes elected parent representatives, an elected staff representative and the principal.
What do trustees do? First and foremost a board is accountable for student progress and achievement to its parents and community. The board has the overall responsibility for the school. This includes legal obligations covering curriculum, property, personnel, finance and health and safety.
Who can become a trustee? Parents, caregivers and people from the wider community can be nominated for election to a school board. Ahuroa School would be happy to help you find out more about standing for election or nominating someone else.
Regards, Angela Phillips, Returning Officer
