Albany Primary School

Welcome to Albany Primary. We are a school with a rich history and an exciting future. We pride ourselves on the happy, friendly and safe environment that is evident from the moment you enter our grounds. Learning is not silent at our school but shouts with curiosity and challenge.

Our goal is to ensure that your child is given every opportunity possible to develop and grow through our inclusive and holistic curriculum.

The school’s vision "where learning makes a difference" is the foundation for all we do.

Our values of respect, excellence, aroha and caring, creativity, and honesty (REACH) are modelled and reinforced by the teachers as essential qualities that we all strive for all in our learning community.

2012

We trust that you have all had a wonderful summer season and look forward to seeing you for 2012 School Start on Wednesday, 1st February at 8.55am.   

Forward notice - book it in your diaries now - on Wednesday 8th February we will be holding our "meet the teacher" evening combined with the FOS family picnic.  The evening starts at 5.00pm and finishes at around 7.30pm.  All students and parents warmly welcome.  A great opportunity to meet your child's teacher, members of staff, the BOT and FOS. 

Our family picnic will be an informal setting to meet other families at the school - FOS will provide a bouncy castle, sausage sizzle, face painting and more - our way of saying "thank you" for supporting school fundraisers. 

Stationery

Year 1-6 Stationery List for 2012.  The school does not sell stationery (the exception for this being the READ IT home reading book for year 1 which is available from the school office).  This year we have arranged for you to order your stationery packs on line from www.cessl.org.nz and they will courier your pack to you (flyer enclosed with school reports.)

Alternatively you may wish to collect your stationery items from other suppliers, however we ask that you ensure the correct item is purchased as per our list.

The "Munch Box" tuckshop will re-open on Tuesday, 7th February.
