Merry Christmas


Dear Parents and Caregivers,
This past term has been very busy with many activities happening at school. I hope you enjoyed last week’s school production as much as I did. I thought the children did very well and looked fantastic in their colourful costumes.
This term has been challenging for me personally with all of my family catching whooping cough after Labour weekend. The effects of this illness are still lingering after seven weeks. We were all affected in different ways with my husband being the sickest of all of us. Thank you for all your kind words and understanding over this time.
I am very fortunate to be able to visit my family in Switzerland over Christmas with our daughter June. We  will be leaving on Monday, flying to Shanghai, and then on to Zurich.  It is hard to imagine going into winter now that we have had a few warm days, but at least there is hope for a white Christmas after fifteen years of summer Christmases.
Thank you for all your support and interest this year. I have thoroughly enjoyed Ruma Kakapo this year, and I wish you and your children a Merry Christmas and a wonderful break.

  1. To Annie,

    I hope that the horrible whooping cough will go away and no types of sickness will come to you and your family.
    What did you do for your school production?
    Is it like a play/performance?

  2. Hi Abbey,
    thank you for your kind words. Thankfully, the whooping cough has truly gone now. It is a terrible disease that I don't wish on anyone.
    Our school production was a pirate play called "Treasure". It involved lots of singing and acting by the children.
    Kind regards
    Mrs Rehmann
