THIS WEEK’S MEMORY VERSE

All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possession was their own, but they shared everything they had.

Acts 4:32

 PRINCIPAL’S NOTICE

Tena koutou whanau ma – warm greetings to everyone

As we draw close to the end of the school year I would like to bring to your attention several important events that are on our horizon.

Firstly,  reminder that the Senior Prize-Giving is tomorrow evening at 6:30pm in the hall. Thank you to Joni who has gone the extra distance to phone whanau to make sure everyone is aware of the event.

Next week sees the beginning of the NCEA Examinations and many of our seniors are involved in these. We have shared previously that students need to be coming to school every day to continue with their studies right up to the exams themselves, and also to complete any Internal Standards that remain unfinished.

In the last week of the term we will hold our Junior and Middle School Prize-Giving assemblies. We will begin on Monday the 9^th December with the Certificates of Recognition awards for our Primary students and invite our whanau to come in and join with us in a ‘Whanau Day’. We will confirm the start time closer to the date.

The next day (10^th December) we will be running our annual ‘Beach Day’. This will be at Tii Bay, Paihia.

Wednesday 11^th December is the Primary school Prize-Giving, followed by the Middle School Prize-Giving. Again we will confirm start times closer to the date.

2025 Enrolments

As discussed in previous newsletters, our school roll is very healthy – something we are very thankful for, first to the Lord and also to our whanau who have entrusted the education, care and wellbeing of their children to us. We are taking enrolments for 2025 and urge whanau who are considering enrolling here to act quickly to secure a place in the school as places are fast being taken up.

Teacher Only Day

Schools have been reminded that support for the NZ curriculum changes and also changes to NCEA needs to be accessed by Friday 15^th November. We are therefore closing the school on the 15^th November for a Teacher Only day for staff to receive more feedback about curriculum changes and also to strengthen our school responses to raising Literacy standards to support greater success at the NCEA level.

Camps Next Year

This is an early signal that we are running two camps at the beginning of next year. One, a Year 7 & 8 camp at Urupukapuka Island with senior student leaders mentoring our younger students. This will be run on the 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th February. The second camp is the Primary Summer Camp, to be run on the 12^th and 13^th March.

Recruitment

Please join us in praying that the Lord will send to us, teachers of excellence to fill the positions we have advertised.

Mathew 18:19-20 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

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.
