Intentions & Classes for Next Year Thanks everyone who has let us know of your intentions for next year. This helps with sorting out class lists, which we hope to let you know by the end of this year also - this is the first time Burnham School has done this in a long time so we hope this will make the start of 2012 easier for our tamariki! If you have not yet done this, please go to: www.burnham.school.nz/nextyear and let us know! Reports Teachers are busily writing reports and so we will be sending these important documents home soon. As always, if you have questions or concerns please contact your class teacher. Staffing Updates We are pleased to announce the appointment of Susanne (Sam) Walker as kaiako for Room 7 next year. Sam brings with her a wealth of experience in teaching and comes to us a kaiawhina at Branston Intermediate. Welcome Sam!
