THIS WEEK’S MEMORY VERSE
For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.
– Psalm 50:10
CARE FOCUS: I am making sure that I am on time.
PRINCIPAL’S NOTICE
Tena koutou whanau ma – warm greetings to everyone.
As you may know, I have been away from school for the past five weeks supporting Joanna to receive medical treatment. Thank you for your gracious prayers and support.
Staffing
We have welcomed Paul Atkins into the school recently. Paul has taken up the Head of Physical Education and Health position vacated by Kevin Low and Paul is already up and running, fitting easily into the everyday life of the school.
Property
This week we see the removal of the classroom and office space we call S6 – you may know it as the ‘Shaw House’. This building is being removed to make way for a new building that will include four learning spaces, office, kitchen and ablutions. We are very excited to see this development finally underway and ask that you lift this project up in prayer, to see it through to completion with excellence and without hassle or interruption. We thank God for His provision and the doors He has opened and we thank our Proprietors for being faithful in their work to modernise our learning environments and facilities.
During this time we will need to manage hazards and take extra care to keep our whanau safe on-site. Please be aware that this is a construction area, and although it will be cordoned off, we would like whanau to support us with messaging to young ones to keep clear and also to report any hazards that are noticed.
Student Conduct
From time to time we need to bring correction to students who are making poor choices. In most cases these are minor matters and are resolved quickly in mutually respectful ways but occasionally we need to address higher level inappropriate behaviours with students. When this happens we seek to contact you and bring you into the process so we can work together to address these matters. Please support us by ensuring we have up to date and correct contact numbers (for example, when you change phones/numbers).
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ESV
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Outreach
Recently, students and teachers from the school have begun visiting the aged care home to share their company with senior citizens living there. Senior students with the guidance or Mr Prickett have initiated this outreach which has been received with joy by the folk where our students are visiting. We plan to build on this activity by having a different group of students visiting once a week and sharing our stories, songs and company.

PHOTO LIFE
PhotoLife have emailed your child(rens) unique Key Code to go online to view and purchase the 2022 School Photos. ***FREE DELIVERY EXPIRES Midnight Sunday 18TH SEPTEMBER*** Please keep an eye on your trash / spam folder.
A master list of the School’s Key Codes have been given to the school office. If you have any queries please contact the office.
WHY IS PHOTOLIFE EMAILING KEYCODES THIS YEAR?
Easier and more efficient for Parents – Hi PhotoLife, Thank you for the email. I have missed out on previous school photos due to not receiving the order form in previous years, but this was a seamless and much easier process, it was amazing!
Free Delivery Expiry Date is highlighted in the email
No administration needed by School Office or Teachers in handing out codes
Emails sent by a “real person” so any queries emailed back from parents are resolved quickly by PhotoLife
100% more environmentally friendly – minimising paper; printing inks and printing process
This year a higher number of Students are Absent so this system does ensure the Key Code gets to the parents regardless
Less chance of transmission of Covid Virus on physical paper
An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.
– Proverbs 14:5

It develops culture and pride and is a key engagement vehicle for students in learning, in their institution, and within their wider community. Sport can contribute to academic and social outcomes with clear links to key curriculum competencies including Relating to Others, Participating & Contributing and Managing Self. NZTG seeks to use sport to provide schools and tertiary institutions with team building and networking opportunities, creating positive health and well-being experiences for staff and encourages all to be a part of providing quality sport opportunities for their students.
