Principal’s CommentKia ora koutou, greetings to all parents, caregivers and friends of the school.A New TermWelcome back to a new term. The school holidays provided everyone with a much needed break and I am sure we are all the better for it. We certainly did have a few cold days and some decent rain, so here’s looking forward to some warmer and longer days.We especially welcome those who are new to the school and there are a few of you. It is great to see some fresh faces walking around the school. I look forward to meeting many of you over the next couple of weeks and getting to know you a little better. I trust that your start here will be a very positive one and you will experience the same feeling of inclusiveness that so many speak about after starting here at KVC. Like any term, there are many activities planned, which will ensure that it will be a busy one. Coming up next Monday is the very important Open Night, which serves the purpose of allowing prospective students to come and see what we offer at KVC. No doubt, you will have seen much of the advertising that is taking place at the moment. Unfortunately, this is something that we do need to engage in, but can I please remind you that word of mouth is one of the most important strategies. Please do discuss with your friends, the positive experiences you have had at the school, and how it is meeting the needs of

Kaikorai Valley College Newsletter

No. 14 - 24 July 2020your children. All parents and whānau are most welcome to attend. We ask people to be here at 6.15pm for a 6.30pm start. (Please bring your friends.)

Year 7–13 grade summary reports will come out at the end of next week. Please take some time to read through these carefully and discuss them with your sons and daughters. We see education very much as a partnership between the student, parents and school. If you drive up or down Kaikorai Valley Road you may notice the billboards at the front of the school. These billboards, along with the school’s Facebook page and website have important dates that you may like to pop into your diaries or on calendars. These are updated once per term, and are a great tool to let people in the wider community know what is going on at the school.Term 3 is a time where students need to begin focusing on some serious work and revising for examinations at the end of the year. I was very encouraged, after talking with a couple of seniors in the past week, to hear of the study they had undertaken during the holidays. It is never too early to start with the study, and I would like to encourage students to set high goals for themselves and put together a plan of how they might get there. Staff will be more than happy to help students with this. Set aside a little time each day to go over work that you have covered, write summary notes and most importantly practise questions and examples. Don’t start with the things you like, because more often than not they are the things you are good at. Start with the things you are unsure about and seek help from your teachers.Rick GeerlofsPrincipal

Urban FarmGood news over the holidays for the Farm and the school - Dr McMillan has been busy appealing to organisations for assistance and Dynes Transport (our southern neighbours), has again supported his endeavours by extending our driveway all the way up to the chicken coop. That extension allows us much improved access for all - especially in winter. This is a substantial gift to the school worth thousands of dollars. Dynes have told us they really value the relationship they have with our school and appreciate the support they have received from us. Mark and Eric (our groundsmen) in particular have helped facilitate that. As part of this excavation work the ground has been disturbed and although they have created a ‘bund’ (embankment), this has caused some transfer of sediment to run off towards the creek, so Dr McMillan and Mark (our groundsman) have been busy erecting the basis for a silt fence, with our Year 12s completing the project with Mr Murphy.What is silt? Here’s the science bit behind the work we are doing:Silt is made up of rock and mineral particles that are larger than clay but smaller than sand. Individual silt particles are so small that they are difficult to see. To be classified as silt, a particle must be less than .005 centimetres across. Silt is found in soil, along with other types of sediment such as clay,

sand, and gravel. Silty soil is slippery when wet, not grainy or rocky. When deposits of silt are compressed and the grains are pressed together, rocks such as siltstone form.Silt is created when rock is eroded, or worn away, by water and ice. As flowing water transports tiny rock fragments, they scrape against the sides and bottoms of stream beds, chipping away more rock. The particles grind against each other, becoming smaller and smaller until they are silt-size. Glaciers can also erode rock particles to create silt. Finally, wind can transport rock particles through a canyon or across a landscape, forcing the particles to grind against the canyon wall or one another. All three processes create silt.

Too much silt can upset some ecosystems.Agricultural and industrial runoff can also clog ecosystems with silt and other sediment. In areas that use chemical fertilisers, runoff can make silt toxic. Toxic silt can poison rivers, lakes, and streams. Silt can also be made toxic by exposure to industrial chemicals from ships, making the silt at the bottom of ports and harbours especially at risk. When the city of Melbourne, Australia, decided to deepen its harbour in 2008, disturbing millions of tons of silt, filled with chemicals like arsenic and lead, it threatened the waterway’s ecosystem and was responsible for destroying as much as 40% of its invertebrates. Silt fence a natural barrier.The silt fence being installed, is a barrier made of wire and fabric. This natural structure is used to catch silt and runoff from the excavated areas to prevent as

much silt as possible from getting into our stream and creek. This preventative action will ensure the health of critters living and currently thriving in our surrounding habitat.Always a job to be done on the farm!

Octacan Mufti DayWe will be holding a mufti day on Thursday 30 July (next week) to support OCTACAN.

OCTACAN is run by Presbyterian Support Otago, who run a food bank for those in need.

During winter, many people experience a gap between what they can afford and what they

need, often having to make a choice between housing and electricity or food bills.Due to Covid-19 the foodbank has experienced demand like never before. With financial stress due to job losses and pay cuts, they are seeing many families who suddenly find there is a gap where the food money should be.OCTACAN is here to fill that gap, and with your support we CAN help! Please join us for the annual can collection for Dunedin’s busiest foodbank.You can help fill the gap by collecting and donating as many cans as you can!Last year, we collected just over 1000 cans. This year, we’d love to blow that out of the water. For each can you bring to school, you will earn a point for your house. So, please, start collecting cans now, to bring in next Thursday 30 July.
