PINK SHIRT DAY: FRIDAY MAY 26
Pink Shirt Day is this Friday 26 May and we are hoping
that students will embrace this day by wearing a pink
top, t-shirt and /or accessories (e.g a wig!). Please do
not buy anything for this day!
What is it? Pink Shirt Day Aotearoa is a national
initiative led by the Mental Health Foundation of
New Zealand aimed at generating discussion and
education to combat bullying. Pink Shirt Day is about
working together to stop bullying by celebrating diversity
and promoting positive social relationships.
Key Idea: Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying.
What does Speak up. Stand together. Stop bullying mean?
Speak up
Giving voice to a problem is the first step towards addressing it. Having
conversations with your friends, family, whānau, children, parents, teachers,
students and wider communities is a great way to come up with ideas and
strategies to address bullying. Speaking up is also about asking for help when
you need it. This can be scary, and sometimes the first person you ask can’t or
won’t do anything to help you. Keep asking. Pink Shirt Day shows there are
many people who care about supporting you.
Stand together
Bullying behaviour is influenced by the actions and values of friends, families
and whānau, schools, workplaces and whole communities. Real change
happens when we stand together, sending a strong message that there is no
place for bullying in New Zealand. Bullying often makes people feel alone, but
Pink Shirt Day shows that many people care. Many people want to play their
part in making New Zealand a safe, welcoming and respectful place for
everyone, regardless of age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, or
cultural background.
Stop bullying
On Pink Shirt Day, look out on the sea of pink and know that together we can
stop bullying.

Police Vetting: Urgent &
Important!
Only adults who have had a
police vet will be able to help with
school activities from January
2017 onwards.
As obtaining a police vet takes
time, if you are considering being
available to help with school
activities in any way in 2017
please act now, as follows......
Please go to the school website
to ‘Police Vetting for Volunteers
at CBS’ under Parent Information
and complete the form and
attach photocopies as per the
instructions.
Please note a police vet remains
current for three years after the
date of issue by the police.
Absences
Just a reminder that if your child
is going to be absent from
school, we request you advise
the school office before 9am, not
just the class teacher.
Email:
use the Flexibuzz App or
call 410 9551.
For extended holidays ie: more
than one day, a request should
be made to Mr McGowan for the
time off. These requests can be
emailed to:
This is a Ministry of Education
requirement.
We work very hard at keeping
your children safe at school and
appreciate your assistance with
our process.

Reasons for School Closure
The school is closed for instruction on Friday 2 June. Last week I received an
email from a parent asking why the school was to be closed for teacher
professional development in term time. Good question and one I should have
been proactive in answering last week. Therefore, later rather than sooner, here
is the explanation for the closure on Friday 2 June. No need to explain the
closure on Monday 5 June!
Each year the Ministry of Education establishes the number of days each
state school must be open for instruction. While there are some limits
established in terms of when schools can and cannot be open, such as the
earliest/latest dates a school can start the school year and finish the year,
plus when the term holidays must be taken, there is flexibility afforded to the
Board of Trustees when it comes to determining opening dates bearing in
mind the Board must ensure the school is open for the required number of
days each year. This is non negotiable.
This year a teacher only professional development day is being held on 2
June to enable all schools from CBS to Browns Bay, including the
intermediate but excluding Rangitoto College, to get together to learn from
each other and from outside speakers with the aim of improving our teaching
of students who are not achieving in accordance with national standards. This
is part of the Community of Learners our school is part of.
As a school we endeavour to complete all school-wide professional
development out of class contact time. An example of this are the professional
development days we have each January before school starts as well as
weekly professional development meetings when students have gone home.
Many teachers participate in professional development in the holidays. In the
recent holidays over ten teachers attended a two day maths course and in the
up coming holidays we have eight teachers attending a professional
development course on improving the effectiveness of classroom teaching. A
number of our teachers are engaged in on-going post graduate programmes
of study that require attendance in school holidays.
Having written this, teaching is a demanding profession and teachers need
most of their holidays; hence we do our best to ensure teachers have a well-
deserved break while also meeting important professional development
needs.
We do our best to keep any disruptions to parental routines to a minimum. For
example, on ‘parent-teacher’ interviews days we do not close the school early
but, rather, we supervise students until 3.00 pm. Next year, in an attempt to
improve the start of the year, we are having ‘getting to know you’ interviews
near the end of the January holidays. The date for this has already been
published: Thursday 25 January 2018. This date has been selected so it will
not interfere with term time.
In summary, we are meeting the requirement to be open on the required
number of days while also engaging in timely and necessary professional
development being mindful we keep any disruptions to parents atoa minimum.
That is why Friday 2 June has been selected for this professional development
as it affords an opportunity for families to have a four day rather than a three
day long weekend.
CBS WEEKLY NEWS
ROUND UP
Each week the students of
Campbells Bay School create a
show called CBS WEEKLY
NEWS ROUND UP.
This highlights all the cool things
happening at CBS for the week.
It is available for viewing on the
school Ultranet page. You child
must be signed into their google
CBS primary account to view.
Get your kids to show you how to
do this.
Happy viewing.
Library Lovers
If you have a bit of spare time we
would love to have your help in
our library.
All volunteers will need to be
police vetted so a regular
commitment would be
appreciated.
We do have small jobs like
covering books that could be
taken home.
Please email me if you can help.

APPA Music Festival Choir 2017
The Auckland Primary Principals’ Association (APPA) Festival takes place in the Town
Hall in November each year. This is a huge event which incorporates choirs from the
greater Auckland region.
The APPA choir is for students who really enjoy music, who want to develop their
voices and learn to sing in parts. While Year 6 will be given priority for this choir Year 5
students will be invited to audition should we be short of numbers.
Although the festival does not take place until November preparations are underway and auditions will take place soon.
Our first introductory rehearsal with Marian Burns, our director, takes place at CBS on Tuesday 6 June.
I realise that many students are currently involved in the Mid Bays Festival Choir and for that reason further in-school
rehearsals will be delayed until we have staged that event.
All announcements and reminders re.auditions will be made via cbtv so please remind your child to keep a look out
should they be interested.
This festival has become a highlight in our musical calendar and I know your children are going to love being part of it!

Missing Scooter
Jai Hunt Room 18 has not been able to find his scooter since last Thursday.
It was last seen in the bike rack and had Jai’s name on it ‘Jai Hunt’ in a few places. His
spiderman helmet was with it too. It is a micro scooter in Sapphire blue.
If this scooter has accidentally turned up at your house or you know where it may be,
please return it to the scooter rack or contact the school office.
Many thanks.

Auckland City Mission’s ‘One Can – Two Can’
CBS will be taking part in this Appeal from Monday 12 June – Friday 23 June and we are asking families to get behind
this wonderful local cause.
‘One Can – Two Can’ is a huge part of the Auckland City Mission’s Winter Appeal and they rely heavily on donations they
receive from schools. Even a gold coin, or a single can, provides vital support and nutrition to a family in crisis.
Please support this community initiative by providing a can of food, or funds to cover the cost of a can, that your child can
bring to school during this time.
Further information on this or the Mission’s work in general can be found by contacting Mackenzie Koppel on 303 9261,
or by visiting the Mission’s website: www.aucklandcitymission.org.nz

Swim Team make it three in a row!
At the end of last Term our CBS Swim team competed in the North Shore Primary Schools’ Swim Competition at the
National Aquatic Centre at AUT Millennium. Twenty three primary schools from across the North Shore competed in this
swim meet. We took thirty six swimmers from year three to year six. All our swimmers were exceptionally focused and
gave their very best both in and out of the pool. CBS were the defending champions from both 2016 and 2015. All our
swimmers contributed towards our accumulated points helping us towards taking out the title of top school for the third
year running. This is quite an achievement! Thank you to all the supporters who came along on the day to cheer for us. A
big thank you too, to all the parent helpers who gave up their time to take on a duty role as part of the smooth running of
the event.
The overall points for the top three schools were as follows:
