TEACHERS NOTICE
HEALTH OF OUR NGAHERE
We were very fortunate to have a working group from Te Runanga A Iwi O Ngapuhi coming to do a workshop on “Health of our Ngahere” Y9/10 students have learnt about the 4 main pests destroying wildlife in our forests – possums, mustelids, feral cats and wild pigs. They were shown different methods of catching the pests. Session for senior students was focused on Kauri dieback disease, how it develops in trees and what we can do to prevent the spread of it.
HISTROY FIELD TRIP
Dear Whānau,
We intend on taking Year 7-13 students on a local history field trip to Ohaeawai and Ruapekapeka on Wednesday 26th June. This trip will form the basis of our developing local history curriculum and is an integral part of the NCEA credit programme.
There is no cost for the trip but please ensure that students arrive on time at school and have a rain jacket incase of a downpour. School uniform is mandatory although appropriate trainers can be worn – no crocs please!
We shall depart from school at 9am and return at 2.50pm in time for buses.
Nga mihi,
David Prickett
Deputy Principal

SEEKING COMMUNITY ROLE MODELS
We want to invite members of the public into our kura to offer positive feedback for Senior Students (Year 11-13) to help raise their aspirations for the future and talk to them for
20-30 minutes.
Our ambition, as Senior Management and Board Trustees, is to increase the number of students that are seeking University places given the growing importance of further education. Our Trade courses (Gateway) are important pathways for students but we would also like to see more students staying at school and achieving their Level 3 and UE course qualifications to enable further University Graduate and Postgraduate degrees.
If you think you can and want to help, below is an outline that will enable our students will benefit from hearing about:
- Your experiences of applying into university
- What were the benefits of attending University?
- What challenges did you experience when undergoing further education/training?
- Describe the transition (positives/negatives) from school to further training/work
- How did your ability to further your education affect your family? Were you anxious about stepping away from home?
- If you were to go back to school now, what advice would you give yourself?
- How did you prepare for interviews? Please feel free to share a significant memory (positive or negative)
- Was there any temptation to not further your education/training and go straight into work? Please explain why you did not do this or delayed this next step.
- What did you enjoy about your time in this training?
For further enquiries please contact:
[email protected] (Harmony Soatini, Head Girl)

TECHNOLOGY CLASS
In technology class students are seeking feedback about futuristic product ideas. It is a good way of improving the active communication with whanau about their child’s learning. Please give our students a couple minutes of your time to fill out their questioners.
