This week we will officially begin calling ourselves Horizon School. Watch out for the changes!
Our school sign will be refreshed this week. Our website will transition to the Horizon School website tonight:
www.horizon.school.nz.
On Thursday 19th November our email addresses will change to:
admin@horizon.school.nz
mary@horizon.school.nz
vanessa@horizon.school.nz
louise@horizon.school.nz
tilda@horizon.school.nz
principal@horizon.school.nz
Watch out in the Mahurangi Matters for an article about the changes you know are happening in our school.
At this time of year we always survey our parents and our learners to find out how you and your child have experienced the school during the year, and to get any thoughts you have about ways we could improve our service to you.
Please can you complete the 10-question survey below.

Thank you.

Snoops Half Day
The
children will be up late on Thursday 26th November with their
evening performance of the Snoops Production. As a
result it has been decided that rather than starting late on the Friday, the
children will be allowed to go home at 1.30pm on Friday 27th
November (after the afternoon roll has been taken).
Wanted

Someone to help us with lighting
and sound for our performance, and a few practices ahead.
People prepared to distribute invitations to Snoops

local retirement villages etc Lots of children dancing and singing.
Christmas Parade: Wanted truck or trailer
This year we are hoping to have a Christmas Float in the Warkworth
Christmas Parade. We are currently
trying to find an open truck or large trailer which could be used for our
float. Could you please email Alice in
the office if you can help us with this.
$4 School Lunch this Friday
Lunch order forms will be sent home again this week. The lunch this Friday will be Nachoes with
jelly and fruit. The cost is still $4.
PTA Meeting
The PTA are organising a t-towel fundraiser this term. The children will have their own art work on the t-towel, and they will be designed to make a great Christmas Present. A letter went home last week. All orders must be in by Thursday 19th November, in order for the t-towels to be printed in time for Christmas. There will be no orders able to be taken after this date.

We would love any donations of booster seats you no longer need. We are wanting to have some spare booster
seats at school for using on trips.
We would also love any donations of any old ipads which are no longer being
used at home.
Praying for the school
Every Monday morning from 8.45 – 9.15 we have prayer time for
the school. All parents, caregivers and friends of the school are welcome to
attend.

Voices of Pain and Voice of Hope
Alexis Waterhouse has
also recently published a book called Voices of Pain and the Voice of Hope. It
is a visual, textural and emotional journey through pain to hope. It is
designed to expose the lies (or patterns of negative thinking) that entrap
people suffering through emotional pain or mental health issues.
It uses poetry, art,
photography and reflection to encourage the reader to continue on their journey
of healing; and to seek help and community.
The book also teaches
mindfulness and grounding techniques which allow the reader to pause, breathe
and reflect in the moment – regardless of whether the situation is positive or
challenging.
Book retails at $25.95. All profits go to A Girl Called Hope
(Residential Home).
