Learner Qualities: Take Risks

“To do something even if you are nervous.” When we take risks in our learning we have a go even if it may mean we are not successful. It is by attempting and the process that we go through that is valuable learning. Please feel free to use this language with your child and to ask them about our learner qualities. The more our students are able to understand what learning is and what it looks like, the more successful they will be at it.

Mathematics Success. Congratulations to our Year 5/6 students who took part in the ICAS Maths test. This is done throughout NZ, Australia and Asia. A special congratulations to: Adam Hobbs, Ben Jenner, Caden Nikora, Eli Newton, Micaiah Sampson & Poppy McPherson (Top 15%), – Credit and Jasmine Phillips– Merit (Top 20%),

SUMMER SPORTS FEES NOW DUE: Volleyball $35.00 and all cricket $25.00.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD: Thank you to all those families who have sent along gifts for our Christmas Child shoeboxes. We are sure there will be some very excited children when they open their boxes. We are sending the boxes next week, if you would still like to add a small gift please send your gift along as soon as possible. We would also be grateful for any gold coin donations as it costs $10 to post the boxes. Thank you for making a child happy. From the Community Council
