Message from our principal ………
Tena koutou katoa, Goeie dag, 안녕하세요, أأهھھھال, 您好, こんにちは, Welcome….
How can you prevent the flu (influenza)? With winter on it’s way we need to start thinking about coughs, colds and flu…
Flu immunisation offers the best protection, however the following will also reduce the risk of catching the flu: • make sure everyone in your family washes their hands regularly and thoroughly,
including (but not only) before preparing food and eating. Make sure everyone dries them well too. Soap and water for 20 seconds, then 20 seconds drying. Or use a hand sanitiser.
• use a tissue to cover coughs and sneezes and then put it in the rubbish bin (and then wash and dry hands).
• regularly clean surfaces in the bathroom and the kitchen.
• stay away from people who are sick. Keep your distance - at least one metre.
• if your child becomes sick, keep them at home and don't send them to school or day care until they are well

Ilse Hindle Returning Officer
"You will have seen in your mail notices for nominations for the upcoming Murrays Bay School Board of Trustees (BOT) election. Now is a great time to consider yourself, a friend or family member to become a new BOT member.
It is well known that getting involved in a hands-on way in your children's schooling has a positive influence on their education. Like many of you, I am a time poor parent that does not have the flexibility to be able to coach a team or help in the class room. However, I was able commit to making a difference as a member of the BOT. My kids were aware and proud of my involvement in the school. I stood in the BOT elections in 2013. It's now my turn to let someone else make their mark. I really encourage you all to give your role in the elections some careful thought. Being a BOT member at MBS is a great way to make a difference and contribution.
Dr. Richard Ellis"
