Principal’s Report

Kia ora, Talofa Lava, Kia Orana, Malo e Lelei, Fakaalofa Lahi atu, Bula Vinaka, Namaste, Ni Hao, Nei Ho, Selamat, Konnichiwa & greetings. Only three weeks to go until the end of this school year. The final Carisbrook School Assembly is on Friday 12th December. Carisbrook School officially closes for the year on Wednesday 17th December at 1.00pm. Teachers are busy getting assessments completed and preparing reports for students for the end of the year. I have enjoyed teachers sharing the great success regarding the progress that students have made especially the students that have made accelerated progress this year. We have a significant number of students who have made two years progress within one year in the key areas of maths, reading and writing. Carisbrook School have invested heavily in both professional development and support programmes in these areas of the curriculum. We are very lucky here at Carisbrook School to have a dedicated team of teachers who pride themselves on quality teaching. Ben Sincock Principal

Beanies

Ruma Ruru wrote to Mr Sincock about maybe getting a uniform hat for winter and they suggested a beanie. Mr Sincock got this prototype made and they will be available for purchase next year to wear in terms 2 and 3. Micah models the beanie and is the first person to get one for his strength in honesty.

We have had a large number of children arriving at school early, some as early as 8am. Children are not supervised before 8.30am and should not be on the school property before this time for their own safety.
