Jump Rope for Heart
The children had a wonderful time participating in their Skip-a-thon. Many
children had practised their skipping and got to show their skipping skills during
the Skip-a-thon.
It is now time for the children to collect their sponsorship money and bring it to
school in the Jump Rope for Heart fundraising envelope.
If you haven’t got the envelope, any envelope will do.
Thank you for supporting this fundraising event.

Carless Day Challenge
Wednesday 11
November
On Wednesday 11 November
Room 9 is challenging CBS
families to avoid using their cars
to drop children in the bus bay. It
is a ‘Carless Day Challenge! It is
a Travelwise challenge!
It will be ‘Wacky Wednesday’!
We want to give Mr McGowan a
day off! If you have to deliver the
children to school by car then
please drop them off safely in
Aberdeen Road, Beach Road or
East Coast Road.
Can we eliminate cars from the
bus bay? Yes we can!
You can’t be in the draw for
‘Wacky Wednesday’ prizes if you
are spotted getting out of the car
in the bus bay.
Be Travelwise! Walk, bike,
scooter, skate, bus, rideshare or
use the Walking School Bus to
get to school. Summer is almost
here. Exercise is cool!
Start organising your family now!
Be cool, please be Travelwise!
Thank you. Room 9

the use of fireworks on school

using fireworks on school
property please either ask them

FOCBS LADIES MOVIE NIGHT 22 OCTOBER
Thanks to all the ladies (and Mr McGowan - we
believe he was in his element in a room full of
women!), who supported the FOCB fundraiser movie
night on Thursday.
The movie was great (recommended for those who
were not fast enough to secure a ticket).
Special thanks to Bronwyn Johnson for making it
happen, and to our local businesses for donating the
spot prizes.
If you still need to pay for your tickets please do so now so we can finalise the
event. We estimate a profit of $800 for the school which is a great result, and
these profits will go towards authors for Book Week. FOCBS.
Further to the comments from FOCBS, I can recommend The Dressmaker as
an entertaining black comedy/drama for both genders! Thanks to FOCBS for
organising this event that provided an opportunity for our community to get
together. John McGowan.
CALLING ALL OLD MOBILE PHONES
It’s that time again to rummage around in your drawers
and toy boxes and bring into School/Kindergarten/
Creche/Playcentre any unwanted mobile phones you may
have at home.
It is estimated that each year up to three million phones
become obsolete in NZ. Of those only 2% are recycled.
Phones collected help our School/Kindergarten/Creche/Playcentre gain
valuable rewards and the environment benefits as well keeping our landfills free
of mobile phones and their array of hazardous toxic substances.
Please drop any unwanted mobile phones you may have in the collection box in
the reception area at School /Kindergarten/Creche/Playcentre.
Chess Club, Term Four
Weekly chess classes have
resumed for term four on Tuesday
lunchtimes in room 29.
All levels catered for except
absolute beginners.
In term four students will sit
official NZCF tests with those
passing earning badges and
certificates.
If your child would like to enrol
please collect a form from the
school office and return with the
term fee of $50.00.
Any questions please contact
Leonard McLaren on
[email protected] stating
‘CBS’ in the subject line.
Found School Fleeces
We have the following fleeces in
the school office with the following
names:
S Carter size 10
Jayden Scott size 10
Jamie size 8
These children have left the
school so possibly these fleeces
have been purchased second
hand. If they belong to your child
please collect from the office
ASAP!
Book Fair Dates
Dates for your diary!
Our Campbells Bay school book
week and book fair will be held
from Monday 30 November to
Friday 4 December.
Watch out for more information
coming soon.

Service Quality Survey (Parents): Results of the Follow-up Survey
Results and analysis from the August survey were shared with our community via a newsletter last term. Following
analysis of the survey a further, more specific, survey was conducted to find out more about what parents thought about
two domains in the original survey, namely:
Reporting to parents of their child’s progress; and how the school can improve in terms of meeting individual needs of
their child.
The results of this latter survey form an attachment to this report. The leadership team is now analysing the data from this
electronic survey to determine areas the school can improve upon. Hence, you can expect further information on plans
we have to improve the school’s performance in these two domains. Please watch for this information in upcoming
newsletters. To view the data collected from the follow-up survey please refer to the attachment to this newsletter.
In summary, the feedback from the follow-up survey to the two domains (as listed above) was generally very affirming
but, of course, with room for improvement. Examples: 96.5% ‘felt comfortable and able to contact my child’s teacher
about my child for a meeting should I wish to have such a meeting.’ The December written report was found to be ‘very
helpful’ by 94.9% of respondents while 89.0% found the ‘next steps form the parent/caregiver interviews are based on to
be helpful.’ All very pleasing. Warranting further investigation were the realms of ‘being aware of school programmes that
assist specific learning needs’ with 70.9% of respondents agreeing they were aware while only 61.9% agreed the ‘next
steps interviews are about the right length: 12 minutes.’ We have a number of work ons and we share our thoughts once
we have thoroughly canvassed.
Student Success
Ryan Johnson won a silver medal at the National Karate championships last weekend.
It was a very proud moment for his parents and they would like to thank the school and Duncan Millward who suggested
they get Ryan in to Karate as a good way to learn focus.
Ticket Purchases for APPA Choir Festival
Tickets for our big night are still available from Ticketmaster - just enter ‘Town Hall’ in the search engine and the event will
come up.
We look forward to seeing you all there on Wednesday 18 November - it’s going to be an awesome evening!!
