Kia Ora Koutou Sunday June 12 will go down as Salford Schools latest example of our school vision Making

a Difference. The Salford Rippa rugby team certainly did us proud at the tournament held in less than ideal weather conditions at Rugby Park. Expertly coached by Mr Hanna and Mr Tucker this group of students demonstrated tenacity, fitness, skill, resilience and speed to take out the Southland Championship title. It was a day of highs, lows, adrenaline overload and amazement! We had suffered our first and only loss for the round robin to Limehills school and faced them in the final. Limehills were the clear favourite to win. However, they had underestimated the determination the team was to

display, to win the final. It was a a great game Salford won 7-5. An outstanding effort in gale force winds, driving hail and rain. Thanks to all the parents and Salford supporters, for braving the freezing conditions to cheer our kids on to the final! The prize is an all expenses paid trip to Auckland, for 10 children and two Chaperones, including a trip to Kelly Tarltons and Sky City. All travel, food, accommodation, and a strip to play in representing a country competing in the World Cup are included. Our country will be drawn live on Small Blacks TV, then that is the country we represent for the pool play games. The students involved will remember this experience for life!

The whole school swimming continues. We are desperate for a Dad to assist us in the changing rooms, if you are available please phone the school. This week we had an extremely disappointing 32 NON SWIMMING STUDENTS! If your child is too unwell to swim, they are too unwell to attend school. The lessons, pool hire and buses are free provided by the Invercargill Licensing Trust, all children in New Zealand must be able to confidently swim. We are a country surrounded by water, our drowning statistics as a country are awful. If your child is not able to swim, please send a note to school clearly explaining the reason why. Non swimming students are extremely difficult to manage as we all go to the pool, therefore they sit in the stands and require supervision which is problematic. I expect a far better participation in swimming lessons next week. Staff are frantically preparing the mid year portfolios, they are taking their allocated classroom release days to assist with this busy time, hence the relieving teachers in the school. We look forward to sharing your child's efforts with you. Have a restful winter weekend. Marlene

HEADLICEREMINDER
Pleaseregularly check your childs hair. We will send children home, if head lice is found in their hair.
Headlice are not new. Headlice and the eggs (nits) have been with us for centuries. Egyptian mummies over 3000 years old have been found with the remains of headlice. It is only recently that the western world has been relatively free of headlice. No one to date has found a sure-fire way of totally eradicating headlice in a community. There may be 'miracle cures' offered but few live up to the claims.

Controlling headlice requires people in a community as a whole to act. STEP 5 COMMUNITY NOTICES for interest
