It is hard to believe that we are heading into the half way mark of Term Three already. Thank you to all the whanau who were able to attend Learning Conferences with their tamariki. A positive school-home partnership in supporting your child to reach their highest potential sets them up with the right mindset and skills to achieve their personal best and make the most of their education. You play an incredibly important role in this as the predominant and long term influence in your child's educational and life journey. Learning Conferences help us to better understand your child and the things we can collectively do to support them in getting the best from their learning.
Thank you also to the whanau who have returned the Community Consultation forms or filled it in online. There is still time to get the handed in or completed. Your voice directly influences the future ambitions and direction of Pembroke School. If you have not had your say yet please jump into the link provided and let us know what we are doing well and what your hopes are for the future of Pembroke School. PEMBROKE SCHOOL 2024 COMMUNITY CONSULTATION
We have been busy getting ready for some annual events on our school calendar (see dates below) such as the Pembroke Cross Country (we are looking forward to Eltham and Avon joining us next Monday), Pembroke Speech and Poetry Presentations and Competition and the Epro8 Challenge for our YEar 5-8s.
For the first few weeks of this term we have embraced the Olympic Values of Respect, Friendship and Excellence. Well done to our tamariki who particularly shone in displaying these values and achieved our special Olympic Awards.
Please continue to support your child in their home learning, it really does make a difference in their achievement outcomes.
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to take our amazing Head Students to the LEAD Conference in New Plymouth on Friday. The conference is all about empowering rangatahi in their understanding of leadership and inspiring them to keep thriving in this area. It was a great day with some really inspirational speakers and a lot of fun, finished off with honoring the special role these four important leaders play in our school with what has become the post LEAD Conference Macca's stop. Mr Sharp and Rimu hunkered down with some treats and enjoyed the conference online at school, even managing to message in first and score themselves some prizes!
We look forward to a busy and fun rest of term with plenty of great learning and events ahead.
