With junior examinations completed, staff are busy marking scripts and writing reports. Thank you to the many helpers who have acted as reader writers during the junior examinations. These roles are important but are not funded by the Operations Grant. Staff and community goodwill allow students to access the curriculum in a meaningful way and enjoy success at a personal level.
At our assembly on Wednesday, we reflected on the events in Paris and had a moment's silence for the victims of these terror attacks. As a special character school it is important for staff to help unpack these events for students, so that they gain some insight into the geopolitical and religious issues being confronted in places like Syria. We encourage students to seek to understand a global perspective as they strive to become citizens of a very turbulent 21st century world.
This week we have also completed some updates to our website. The following pages have been added to give more curriculum overview:
- Confucius Classroom
- Broadcast Academy
- Equestrian Academy
- Primary ITO Academy
- Trade Training
Caregivers of Year 9 and 10 students: please get the student permission forms into the office for Y9 Activity Week or Y10 Camp and Retreat, or go to the permissions portal on the College website.
Finally, please keep the Ryan family in your prayers as Mrs Ryan recovers from surgery.
Hei konā mai i roto i ngā mihi
Paul Olsen, Principal
