THIS WEEK’S MEMORY VERSE

Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty.

Proverbs 14:23

 PRINCIPAL’S NOTICE

Tena koutou whanau ma – warm greetings to everyone.

As we draw near to the end of the term we can look forward to meeting you at our Parent / Teacher interviews. We will hold these on Tuesday the 2^nd of July from 1:30pm to 6:00pm.

This year we are using the new communications app to make it easier for you to schedule an interview. For whanau who don’t have access to the app we are asking that you just phone in and talk with Joni or Psalm and they will schedule the appointments for you. Shortly Joni will open the “Bookings” tile in the app and you will see it is fairly straight forward to choose the teacher and appointment times you would like.

I would like to discuss the cell phone policy with you because although we started well in meeting the policy requirements, I have noticed some ‘slippage’ and we have had to confiscate a number of phones over the last two weeks. Please remember that the Government policy is ‘phones away for the day’ and that we are required to meet these expectations. Our process for students needs to support them to keep the phones away for the day – a number of students need to have their phone for after-school contact with whanau or employers. We ask that they hand their phones in to the office in the morning when they get to school and then collect them at the end of the day. Thank you whanau.

Thank you to everyone who is supporting us to improve student attendance – your support is vital to help us have high rates of student attendance which is so necessary for them to experience success at school.

We are looking forward to our Local Histories excursions in the last week of the term as we seek to celebrate our Lord’s Creation at this Matariki season. The end of the event includes a Hangi here at school on Thursday for all of our students.

John :1 – 5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. ⁴ In him was life,^[a] and the life was the light of men. ⁵ The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Blessings to all

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,

SKOOL LOOP APP

Kia ora Whanau

Please ensure you have downloaded the App

This App is a personalised app for our school and will allow us to keep you all updated with school information, news, calendar events and contact information. We are asking you all if you please can download the app called Skool Loop.  

I have attached a step by step on how to download the App.

WHAT ARE ATTENDANCE DUES?

The Ministry of Education does not fund building related costs at our School. Attendance Dues are only used to pay for building related costs. They can not be used for any other purposes.  Paying Attendance Dues is a condition of enrolment for all students attending our School. Attendance Dues are compulsory – there is a legal requirement for parents and caregivers to pay Attendance Dues under the Education and Training Act 2020. They are not a donation.
