From the Senior Leadership Team – Term 1, Week 9
Good afternoon
As Term 1 draws to a close, the SLT would like to thank all parents, caregivers, and volunteers for their help and support throughout the EOTC programme held during the term. We have enjoyed two full and fun-filled days at Vector Wero and Tree Adventures, where our learners have taken risks and tried new experiences. None of this would have been possible without parents getting involved, volunteering their time, or ensuring that children arrived at school early on these days.
Along with the EOTC Days, this term also included our Market Days, which were an incredible experience for our tamariki. The level of creativity and thought that went into the designs and creation of products for sale was outstanding. Once again, there was strong parent support for this, and your help ensured that Market Day was a success!
A reminder that our Parent and Teacher Meetings are in the first week of Term 2. You can book your slot using the information below. These days are a great way to set goals and better understand your child’s learning at school. It is not compulsory for your child to attend, and if you wish to discuss things more openly, this is a good time to do so. Our Specialist classrooms will be open until 7:00 PM so please visit these classrooms before or after your interview times.
Term 2 will be busy, and we begin with a change to our Unit of Inquiry: Who We Are. This unit focuses on puberty and the changes our learners experience during this time. This includes both physical and emotional changes, and how they can influence the emerging adolescent at school and at home. To start our unit, we will have the organisation Attitude speak to our learners at assembly.
