Together we create an environment for

personal excellence

CELLPHONES & EARPHONESThese are not to be used in Tutor Group Time and lessons. Music is not an aid to concentrating on classwork and students can be easily distracted by going to sites and social media and messages which have nothing to do with the subject work.

TUTOR GROUP TIMEA chance to catch up on homework.Tutor Group Teachers are mentoring at least 4 students each week.Tutor Group Teachers have a planner and study timetable that can be given to students.

DIGITAL TIME AT HOMEStudents should have a period of time for work at home and also a period of time without access to devices. Constant hours of screentime is harmful to development of good learning skills.

Thank you for your support of the teachers during this Wednesday’s strike action.

Yesterday we emailed parents and caregivers that the PPTA have given notice that PPTA members will not be teaching Year 9 students next Tuesday 4 June, the day after Queen’s Birthday, as part of a rostering home action. As non-PPTA members will be fully involved in their own teaching programmes, we cannot guarantee supervision for any Year 9 students who attend school on Tuesday. This poses a Health and Safety issue for those students if we cannot provide supervision.

PPTA have advised they will not be teaching year levels on a rostered basis as follows:Year 9 Tuesday 4 JuneYear 10 Tuesday 11 JuneYear 11 Tuesday 25 JuneYear 12 Tuesday 2 July

A regional strike is planned for Auckland schools on Monday 17 June. If this goes ahead, Rosehill College will be open, although normal lessons will not take place and students would be assigned to groups to be in supervised in study for the day. Any updates will be published on the front page of the website as soon as we receive them.

Thank you to those who took the opportunity for parents and caregivers to meet the candidates for the Board of Trustees elections. Voting papers will arrive by mail and must be returned in the envelope provided. See below for further details.

The Annual Talent Quest takes place on Tuesday 4 June. This is a great opportunity to come and see the wide range of talents that our students have and is always an excellent evening.

Sue Blakely, Principal
