Principal’s​ ​News

 

New​ ​Entrant​ ​-​ ​Cohort​ ​Entry​ ​for​ ​2018  Thank​ ​you​ ​for​ ​your​ ​feedback​ ​on​ ​the​ ​new​ ​cohort​ ​entry​ ​for​ ​new​ ​entrants​ ​next​ ​year.  The​ ​feedback​ ​was​ ​positive​ ​and​ ​in​ ​favour​ ​of​ ​the​ ​new​ ​system​ ​(89%),​ ​which​ ​we​ ​will​ ​adopt  next​ ​year.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​a​ ​child​ ​starting​ ​next​ ​year​ ​and​ ​are​ ​unsure​ ​of​ ​start​ ​dates​ ​give  the​ ​office​ ​a​ ​call​ ​or​ ​pop​ ​in​ ​for​ ​a​ ​chat.    There​ ​have​ ​been​ ​a​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​points​ ​of​ ​discussion​ ​that​ ​have​ ​popped​ ​up​ ​in​ ​the​ ​survey,  and​ ​I​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​clarify​ ​a​ ​few​ ​things​ ​around​ ​this​ ​change:  ● It​ ​is​ ​completely​ ​the​ ​parent’s​ ​choice​ ​whether​ ​you​ ​wish​ ​to​ ​start​ ​them​ ​prior​ ​to  their​ ​5th​ ​birthday​ ​or​ ​up​ ​until​ ​their​ ​6th​ ​birthday.​ ​ ​You​ ​do​ ​not​ ​have​ ​to​ ​start​ ​your  child’s​ ​schooling​ ​before​ ​they​ ​are​ ​5​ ​years​ ​old​ ​if​ ​you​ ​do​ ​not​ ​believe​ ​your​ ​child​ ​is  ready​ ​for​ ​school.  ● Even​ ​for​ ​students​ ​starting​ ​school​ ​at​ ​5​ ​years​ ​old,​ ​it​ ​can​ ​be​ ​an​ ​exhausting​ ​and  tiring​ ​time​ ​for​ ​students.​ ​ ​Feel​ ​free​ ​to​ ​talk​ ​to​ ​us​ ​to​ ​help​ ​manage​ ​this.  ● When​ ​a​ ​new​ ​child​ ​starts​ ​school,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​a​ ​big​ ​step​ ​for​ ​them.​ ​ ​We​ ​want​ ​to​ ​provide  the​ ​best​ ​transition​ ​we​ ​can.​ ​ ​Having​ ​one​ ​transition​ ​to​ ​school​ ​a​ ​term​ ​allows​ ​this  time​ ​to​ ​be​ ​explicitly​ ​taught​ ​and​ ​reviewed​ ​with​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​class,​ ​so​ ​the​ ​message  is​ ​consistent​ ​and​ ​clear.​ ​ ​This​ ​is​ ​more​ ​difficult​ ​when​ ​there​ ​are​ ​up​ ​to​ ​8-10​ ​new  students​ ​starting​ ​at​ ​different​ ​times​ ​of​ ​the​ ​term​ ​when​ ​routines​ ​are​ ​already  established,​ ​and​ ​new​ ​students​ ​were​ ​there​ ​at​ ​the​ ​time​ ​when​ ​they​ ​were  discussed.  ● This​ ​will​ ​give​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​combine​ ​transitions​ ​for​ ​new​ ​students​ ​and  reminders​ ​to​ ​existing​ ​students​ ​of​ ​school​ ​routines​ ​and​ ​expectations,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as  introducing​ ​any​ ​new​ ​initiatives​ ​that​ ​might​ ​be​ ​taking​ ​place​ ​for​ ​the​ ​term.  ● When​ ​five​ ​year​ ​olds​ ​start​ ​school,​ ​we​ ​do​ ​make​ ​an​ ​effort​ ​to​ ​maintain​ ​constant  communication​ ​with​ ​parents/caregivers,​ ​and​ ​we​ ​will​ ​be​ ​informally​ ​asking​ ​for  your​ ​feedback​ ​after​ ​the​ ​implementation​ ​of​ ​this​ ​initiative.    School​ ​Uniform  Reminder​ ​to​ ​everyone​ ​that​ ​our​ ​school​ ​shoes​ ​should​ ​be​ ​plain​ ​black.​ ​ ​This​ ​excludes  sneakers​ ​with​ ​brand​ ​names​ ​and​ ​colouring​ ​on​ ​the​ ​sides​ ​and​ ​tops.​ ​ ​Also,​ ​socks​ ​for​ ​boys  are​ ​black​ ​or​ ​navy​ ​blue,​ ​and​ ​for​ ​girls​ ​they​ ​are​ ​black,​ ​navy​ ​blue,​ ​or​ ​white.    If​ ​your​ ​child​ ​is​ ​coming​ ​to​ ​school​ ​with​ ​non-regulation​ ​uniform,​ ​can​ ​you​ ​please​ ​send  them​ ​with​ ​a​ ​note​ ​so​ ​we​ ​know​ ​that​ ​something​ ​is​ ​being​ ​organised.    Cross​ ​Country  Thankfully​ ​the​ ​weather​ ​came​ ​right​ ​on​ ​Monday​ ​and​ ​we​ ​were​ ​able​ ​to​ ​run​ ​the​ ​cross  country.​ ​The​ ​team​ ​is​ ​up​ ​on​ ​the​ ​school​ ​website​ ​for​ ​the​ ​MT​ ​SPA​ ​Cross​ ​Country​ ​in  Manaia​ ​tomorrow.     We​ ​need​ ​transport​ ​to​ ​get​ ​to​ ​Manaia.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​are​ ​available​ ​to​ ​help​ ​please​ ​be​ ​at​ ​school  at​ ​10.30am.​ ​We​ ​need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​registered​ ​and​ ​assembled​ ​by​ ​11.00am​ ​at​ ​the​ ​domain.​ ​ ​As  we​ ​are​ ​taking​ ​a​ ​large​ ​group,​ ​we​ ​would​ ​like​ ​to​ ​be​ ​earlier​ ​to​ ​ensure​ ​we​ ​get​ ​seating.​ ​ ​The  first​ ​race​ ​starts​ ​at​ ​11.15am,​ ​going​ ​in​ ​order​ ​of​ ​age,​ ​with​ ​the​ ​girls​ ​running​ ​first. 



Taranaki​ ​Trophy  We​ ​had​ ​our​ ​last​ ​matchup​ ​today​ ​against​ ​St​ ​Joseph's​ ​Stratford,​ ​and​ ​results​ ​were​ ​tight  across​ ​the​ ​board.​ ​ ​Our​ ​netball​ ​team​ ​lost​ ​by​ ​four​ ​goals​ ​in​ ​a​ ​tightly​ ​contested​ ​affair.  It​ ​was​ ​a​ ​great​ ​effort​ ​in​ ​some​ ​pretty​ ​testing​ ​conditions,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​strong​ ​cross​ ​wind  blowing​ ​across​ ​the​ ​court.​ ​ ​Despite​ ​spending​ ​the​ ​final​ ​20​ ​minutes​ ​camped​ ​in​ ​the​ ​St  Joseph’s​ ​goal​ ​box,​ ​our​ ​football​ ​team​ ​lost​ ​1-0,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​rugby​ ​team​ ​came​ ​out​ ​with​ ​a  strong​ ​win​ ​by​ ​30​ ​points.​ ​ ​The​ ​rugby​ ​boys​ ​scored​ ​three​ ​quick​ ​tries​ ​at​ ​the​ ​beginning​ ​and  then​ ​had​ ​to​ ​endure​ ​some​ ​pressure​ ​from​ ​St​ ​Joseph’s,​ ​but​ ​they​ ​remained​ ​resolute​ ​and  held​ ​their​ ​line​ ​to​ ​come​ ​away​ ​with​ ​a​ ​good​ ​win.    It​ ​has​ ​been​ ​great​ ​to​ ​watch​ ​all​ ​three​ ​teams​ ​compete​ ​this​ ​year.​ ​I​ ​am​ ​proud​ ​of​ ​how​ ​our  students​ ​represent​ ​the​ ​school​ ​and​ ​never​ ​gave​ ​up.​ ​ ​A​ ​big​ ​thanks​ ​to​ ​all​ ​the  parents/caregivers​ ​who​ ​helped​ ​with​ ​coaching,​ ​and​ ​organising​ ​things​ ​behind​ ​the​ ​scene.      Sports​ ​Uniforms  As​ ​there​ ​are​ ​no​ ​more​ ​Taranaki​ ​Trophy​ ​games,​ ​can​ ​all​ ​uniforms​ ​please​ ​be​ ​washed​ ​and  returned​ ​to​ ​school.    A​ ​reminder​ ​text​ ​messages​ ​will​ ​be​ ​sent​ ​home​ ​for​ ​all​ ​basketball,​ ​netball​ ​and​ ​the  Crowley​ ​Cup​ ​uniforms​ ​that​ ​are​ ​still​ ​outstanding.​ ​Can​ ​all​ ​parents​ ​please​ ​have​ ​a​ ​check​ ​at  home​ ​and​ ​send​ ​any​ ​uniforms​ ​back​ ​to​ ​school​ ​ASAP.    Touch  For​ ​all​ ​students​ ​who​ ​are​ ​keen​ ​to​ ​play​ ​touch​ ​next​ ​term,​ ​please​ ​jump​ ​online​​ ​and​ ​register  by​ ​TOMORROW.​ ​There​ ​are​ ​no​ ​subs​ ​for​ ​touch.     We​ ​need​ ​parent​ ​help​ ​for​ ​coaching​ ​these​ ​teams.​ ​Games​ ​are​ ​played​ ​on​ ​Tuesday’s​ ​on​ ​the  fields​ ​behind​ ​Sandfords​ ​Event​ ​Centre.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​can​ ​help​ ​please​ ​pop​ ​your​ ​details​ ​in​ ​when  registering​ ​your​ ​kid/s.      Nga​ ​mihi​ ​nui​ ​kia​ ​koutou,       Jarad​ ​Chittenden,  Principal
