Kia Ora Whanau,
This week has certainly had a very settled, positive and vibrant
energy around the school, The students were reminded this
week that they are now fully into the routine of learning and life
in general at Intermediate level. The students are aware of our
expected standards of behaviour both in and out of the
classroom, as well as the expected levels of focus on their
learning. Earlier in the week, I was able to spend some quality
time in the classrooms, chatting with the students about their
learning. It was a great way to spend a few hours, watching the
pride the students had when sharing their work and explaining
what they were doing. There was not a single classroom that
didn’t have a learning activity underway, and there were writing
tasks, some maths work, a structured spelling activity and even
an impromptu haka! A huge thanks to all the staff for their
enthusiasm and care in creating such positive learning
environments for our tamariki.
Next week is the first Whanau Teacher Hui of the year, and we
are excited about welcoming each whanau into the school. The
purpose of the Huis is to meet your child’s teacher, discuss how
things have been going and help set some goals for the year. It
is always something that we look forward to as staff, and we
value the chance to work together to help progress a child's
learning. If you haven't had the chance to book an interview
with your child’s teacher yet, there is still time! The details are
in the newsletter so register now. The school will have tours of
the technology rooms, a coffee cart on site and a BBQ to take
advantage of. The Senior Leadership Team will be available
and would love the opportunity to meet whanau and discuss any
questions that you may have. We look forward to seeing you on
either Wednesday or Thursday!
Have a great weekend
Nga Mihi,
Mike Webster
