| School News Kids for Kids Concert
Tonight our choir is performing with other Franklin school choirs at Suzanne Prentice's Kids for Kids Concert. Our choir has been training very hard over the term in preparation for tonight and we wish them all the very best for their performance at Pukekohe Town Hall.
White Out Day It was fantastic to see so many of our students dress up in white to support the All Whites. It obviously worked with a great result for the boys this morning. The self belief the All Whites have is inspirational and a great role model to our children. The photos included are from our tabloids on Friday afternoon.
Staff Change
It is with sadness that we will be farewelling Mrs. Jodi Atkinson during Term 3. Jodi has been with us for the past two and a half years. Jodi has been a wonderful teacher in Room 8 and she will be missed but an opportunity has come up that is too good for her to pass up and we wish her all the best.

Sport
Congratulaions to Daniel Bayly, Rachel Edwards and Annette Pabla for making the North Counties Hockey Team. They will complete on the 24th (boys) and 25th (girls) of June. Good luck!
Security
Last night there was a break in at the school that without the fine work of our neighbours noticing our security lights going on could have resulted in a great deal of equipment being stolen. However, police arrested the two people and they will appear in court today to charged with theft. This has acted as a timely reminder for us all about the need to secure our property. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of burglaries in the Karaka area and with the holidays only two weeks away there is an even greater need for vigilance. The burglaries in the area have been during daylight with the thieves targeting flat screen t.v.s and laptops, and in sheds taking lawn-mowers, etc.
Kevin Bush Principal
