 PRINCIPAL’S NOTICE

Tena koutou whanau ma – warm greetings to everyone

The term is certainly flying by – it only seems like yesterday that we were arriving back at school. It has been a very disrupted start to the year and it has taken a huge effort by all to ensure the impacts on student learning and wellbeing is minimal. Thank you for working with us to achieve better attendance, we appreciate the effort to address this important area. Thank you also for helping us to stay on top of things like correct uniform, communications and complaints when things aren’t going so well. These matters are also important for us to be on the same page.

Recently we have been asked about what jewellery can be worn by our students. I refer you to the Parent Handbook which states… General appearance:

Girls’ and boys’ hair needs to be tidy and back off their faces. Hair should be their natural colour. Girls are allowed one pair of discreet earrings, e.g. sleepers or studs.
No lip, tongue or eyebrow piercing.

Also in our Parent Handbook, under the School Rules section, the following is noted.

Category C:
Breaches of these may be regarded as being at a moderately serious infringement level.
– Running inside or around the buildings in close proximity to glass or equipment that
could be damaged.
– Wearing incorrect school uniform or wearing the uniform in an untidy and/or immodest
manner.
– Wearing makeup e.g. nail-polish, heavy mascara etc.
– Wearing jewelery e.g. rings, bracelets, necklaces etc.
– Playing with sport equipment etc. in such an irresponsible manner that could cause
damage or injury.
– Playing and/or walking on gardens.
– Being inside the buildings before school or after school or during break-times without
permission from a Staff member.
– Use of teacher’s equipment without permission.
– Chewing gum at school.
– Leaving class without permission from the classroom teacher.

These may seem pedantic to some, and there may be questions about the need for these high expectations, however, collectively we have an agreement that these are the expectations and as such we need to be attending to them. It will be noted that we have not always been on top of every matter in this space, and as a result standards have slipped from time to time as we have had our focus elsewhere. This being said, I am thankful for your support to be able to continually look to areas we need to improve in and for your necessary feedback from time to time.

We know that costs can be an issue so Psalm in the office is able to arrange regular installments
