Last week was a wonderful week for Gleniti School Academics! Our Yr 7 team won the Aoraki Maths Competition and our two Yr 5-6 Current Event Teams placed second and third in their contest. It’s great to see Gleniti performing so well in these competitions. Tonight our Yr 7-8 EPro8 team heads to Ashburton for their semi-final after winning the local contest earlier in the year. This is a technological, engineering problem solving competition. Good luck team!
Footpath Frenzy continues this Friday! We always get a great turnout so feel free to come along and walk with us to school. We’ll be meeting on Gleniti Road just opposite Cedar Place just before 8:30am. As always this is the perfect way to encourage safe walking to school.
Parent Interviews for our Yr 3-8 families are all set to run this week, Wednesday and Thursday of week 4 (August 14 and 15). The school will close early today at 2:00pm for the whole school. Tomorrow school will close at the normal time.
Mrs Taylor has been incredibly busy organising our annual Book Fair. This is on all week in the Library. Every purchase supports the school!
We’d like to make a positive move for the environment by cutting down on the amount of photocopying we do. One of the big things that we print off each week is the school newsletter. Now that the weekly newsletter comes out in multiple formats (Skool Loop App, Gleniti school website, Gleniti Facebook page and good old fashioned email) is there actually a need for a paper version to come home? Help us out by answering a brief survey by following the link below. This link is currently up on the Gleniti Facebook page Thank you!

Congratulations to Olivia McLachlan! Olivia took part in the Follow Your Dreams Regional Dance Competition in Christchurch during the weekend winning her speed tap, slow tap, solo tap and both of her duo’s. This meant she was awarded the 7yrs and under Dance Champion and qualified for the finals against other competitors throughout Australia in Melbourne 2020. Wow!
Congratulations to all those children who were awarded Principal Awards last Friday.
Nice work everyone!
Steve Zonnevylle, Principal
