School Noticeboard

Can you help with a Bunnings Sausage Sizzle Fundraiser?

Bunnings Lyall Bay have kindly offered us two slots to do a sausage sizzle fundraiser to raise money and drum up interest in our exciting Hall Mural Project. The dates we have been offered are 26 & 27 November, 9am until 2pm. If you can help, even for half an hour on these dates, please fill in this form or contact Cate for more information on Cateinnz123@gmail.com. We'd like at least 2 adults on every shift and it would be great to bring your students with you (in SWIS uniform!) to help out. Everything is organised and we have an info sheet but the teachers are busy organising camp and EOTC so this needs to be a parent-led fundraiser.  It's a great opportunity to support your child and the school!



The proposed mural
From left to right - Kupe and his journey to Aotearoa, battling the giant Wheke. Chief Te Wharepouri over looking the cultivation and the local environment.
The centre panel has the school vision with a rainbow for diversity. 
The final stage has the Arabic word for achievement next to the old Millard stand at Athletic Park and includes a rugby ball. And finally the word BRAHMAPUR where we get Berhampore from, with a representation of a temple and hindi symbol for wisdom behind.


SWIS Board casual vacancy for a parent representative

We have previously advised that if 10% of the school community wish the board to run a by-election for this position then parents need to advise the Presiding member (chair) by 29 November 2022. Please email the Presiding member on Emma.Rutherford@swis.school.nz.

If less than 10% of the school community requests an election then the board will move to select a parent representative. If you are interested in being considered for selection, please email the Presiding member.

Could your family host an international student?

• The student would be in your home for two weeks - 6 to 25 March 2023 (dates tbc) 
• A fee paid to families to cover costs (this will cover the costs incurred for food etc)
• All adults in the home undertake a police vetting process, and there is a house inspection undertaken by the school.
• International students must have either their own room or be sharing with a child of the same gender.
