Rātaka ō te wiki - Wiki Wha

Kia Ora whānau rāua tamariki,

Only one sleep to go until we put all our hard mahi (work) into practice for our School Athletics Day. A few reminders below to ensure the day goes smoothly - it’s always a fabulous day out supporting our tāmariki outside of the classroom. As always, we would love to see you there if you are able to make it.

Junior Athletics will be held this Wednesday at school. Some of our Kahurangi students have been asked to support our juniors around their rotations - a great opportunity to showcase their leadership skills as tuakana (elder students) to our teina (younger students). Student Helpers are welcome to wear their sports uniforms and house colours on this day.

The PTA will be holding a School Disco this Friday, 9th November. We know many of our students love the opportunity to get together outside of the classroom and we hope to see them there! The Senior Disco runs from 7:30 - 9pm. Entry cost is $5 and this includes pizza and a drink. The $1 shop will also be open and selling glow sticks and small bags of sweets.

Industrial action in form of a day strike is planned for Tuesday 13th November. The school will be closed for instruction as many of our staff will be supporting events around the region to raise awareness for the kua tae te wā (it’s time) campaign. If you are unable to keep your child at school this day, please contact the school office so they can make arrangements by Friday 9th November.
 
Orders for the Year 7 & 8 Jackets are now open. Orders must be to the school office by Friday 16th November. The jersey is blue and read, and has a zip front as shown below.

 

For those of you who would like to attend and support our students who participated in the Super 6 competition, certificates will be awarded at Assembly this week.

This week’s homework is designed to support our students with their current focus for our Canvas for Change conceptual curriculum focus. Please find this attached below and on the blog. As always, basic facts and spelling can be found on the blog, and we encourage all students to read for 20 minutes every night.

Kia pai tō koutou rā (Have a nice day),
Kahurangi Pouako
