THIS WEEK’S MEMORY VERSE
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10
PRINCIPAL’S NOTICE
Tena koutou whanau ma – warm greetings to everyone.
Next week we are taking our Year 10 to 13 students to Auckland to visit the universities there. The trip heads to Auckland early on Friday morning 23rd August and returns the next day, having students arriving back at school at 7:00pm for pickup.
The event is in much the same format as previous Uni trips and we are pleased to see a greater uptake of further education opportunities being picked up by our students – already this year we have 3 students accepted into NZ universities next year.
Huge thanks to Jessica Atkins for coordinating the paperwork that you have been signing and sending back, and also for her mahi arranging opportunities for individual students on this trip. Thank you also to whanau who have already returned the necessary documentation.
There is a small number of students who are not able to or have elected not to attend this event – for these students it will be necessary for whanau to keep them at home because we have committed a significant number of staff to support on the trip, meaning no timetabled classes for Year 10 to 13 students on Friday 23rd.
Nga mihi maioha

EXCHANGE STUDENTS
Last week we hosted Chinese students. We enjoyed getting to know them and learning about their culture. Year 7-10 students spent a morning learning to write and read Chinese characters! They could probably tell you what the individual characters and the message that Ruby, pictured below, with the Year 5 & 6 class wrote as a way to say ‘Thank you.’
COMMUNITY CLEAN UP
The junior school is learning to Reduce, Reuse or Recycle and are becoming more aware
of making good choices regarding waste.

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.
