way conferences. We appreciate the role you play in helping to motivate students to be successful. If you have queries about specific subjects, please do not hesitate to contact the subject teacher. Their email address is available through the school’s website www.kvcollege.school.nz. This newsletter marks the end of Term 3, with one term to go. Term 4 will be about a week longer, than normal, for our seniors due to the pandemic outbreak. This will, hopefully, give us just a little more time to get students ready for their NCEA exams. The two week holiday break is a chance for them to put in some serious work to get ready for these exams. In the bigger picture, a week of dedicated study now could make such a difference between getting your NCEA or not! May I pass on my sincere thanks to everyone for your contribution in making Term 3 a very successful term. GenerosityIt has been said that the true mark of character is not what we have but what we give away.Generosity is one of the greatest virtues. “Often it is simply a matter of seeing a need, being blessed with the resources required to meet that need, and then actually acting to meet it. We can all think about ways to help others.”Jonas Salk made no money from his vaccine for polio even though he could have made a huge fortune. He said, “The people own the patent. Could you patent the sun?” Likewise Marie Curie refused to patent her process for radium, or Roentgen for his discovery of x-rays. The makers of Volvo cars invented the lap and diagonal seat belts and made the invention freely available to the world.Mahatma Ghandi knew that poor people scavenged for whatever they could find along the railway tracks in India. One day, when he was boarding a train, one of his shoes fell off and landed underneath a carriage. He immediately took off his other shoe and threw it on the track also. When asked why, he answered that when a poor man found the shoes he would have a complete pair to wear instead of just one.There are two types of values. ‘Held values are what people say. Operational values are what people do.’ We say we are not bigoted, but in the privacy of a private conversation with

close friends, we let a racist joke escape our lips. We say we care about the future of the planet but we drop our rubbish. We say we care for other people but we make sure we push to the head of the queue.Generosity is the glue that keeps our held values and our operational values together. Money is not the key to generosity. The size of your heart determines the extent of your generosity.I wish everyone a safe and happy break over the holidays and look forward to having you all back next term!PrincipalRick Geerlofs

An Afternoon on the Farm8MAT (La) had an afternoon at the farm to get a chance to care for the animals and plants before the holidays. They changed the bedding for the lambs, transported bark across the field, to be spread around the apple trees, dusted the chickens to stop lice from growing on them, fed the chickens grains and dug a hole to bury a dead possum. All in a day’s work!

Urban Farm KaitiakiIt has been a busy few weeks with animals at the farm. Two of our lambs are doing well, enjoying their feeding schedule and the added lamb pellets and hay this week. But you may have noticed, we only have two lambs not three, poor ‘Raspberry’ had a sore leg, so she has had to go back to the main farm to get some rest, and care from the vets there. I will let you know how she is doing after the holidays, when hopefully she will be fit enough to return.

It was also a very sad week, as one of our hens ‘Megan’ developed a condition called a prolapsed oviduct. Prolapse vent in chickens, also known as prolapsed oviduct, blow-out, cloacal prolapse, or pickout, is a condition in which the lower part of a hen’s oviduct turns inside out, and protrudes through the vent. Prolapse is a very serious condition, which can be treated if caught early, but is likely to recur. I had to take her to the vets to be euthanased. This was our

only option, as it was too severe to be rectified. The likely cause is a hereditary condition caused by weak abdominal muscles. I felt so sad, as she has definitely added to some of my brightest moments up at the farm, watching her bright white feathers dart around the creek and trees whilst I’m working, and being the first to grab a handful of corn when it’s offered. She will be missed by the others too as they all

explore the farm together. A friendly wave or a smile will go a long way to cheering me up if you see me this week!

Brathwaite Centre NewsAn animal themed news this week for the Centre! Some of the students have visited the urban farm each week and have been delighted lately to be able to help feed the lambs. Here Damion is concentrating hard on keeping the bottle in the right direction, so that the lamb does not gulp in any air. It will be interesting for the students to see how fast the lambs put on weight over the coming weeks.Omar attends an RDA class each week as part of his programme. Riding a horse helps with building up core strength, as well as

needing to focus and concentrate on the activities being carried out. The atmosphere is always a calming one and Omar gets to build a connection with his horse Kate.

Words from the Whare PukapukaBook of the Week - ‘White Lies, Māori Legends and Fairytales’ by Falstaff Dowling-Mitchell.This book written by a New Zealand author is about a boy called Petera, and his best mate Hone, growing up in small town Aotearoa. The book is full of childhood antics and adventure - surfing the sand dunes, dreaming of being an All Black, doing anything they can to stop a weirdo girl from joining their gang, and avoiding Wiremu, the school bully,

who wants to smash their faces in any chance he gets! A great story for Year 7 to 10.For students who enjoy reading e-books don’t forget to check out Wheelers e-book platform. Find out how to borrow e-books here.

GatewayDaniel Pedersen was working on a student flat in Dundas Street this week for his Gateway placement. He is working with Kev Jarvis Builders, where they were vapour proofing the basement.

Daniel completed the OSTC Construction Course at Otago Polytechnic last year, and this year he is studying a Level 3 BCITO Learning Package during his Gateway periods.

Countdown Seeds Programme - pictured is Jalizza Cockburn at Countdown Mornington, where she is completing her work experience for her New Zealand Certificate in Retail. SEEDS (Students Entering Employment Developing Skills) is a Gateway Programme that gives students a chance to get

valuable work experience in supermarket retail, and help make the transition from school into a career.Students gain 19 Level 2 credits that can be used towards a nationally recognised New Zealand Certificate in Retail. This could also lead to a career in retail, or a pathway into a butchery or bakery apprenticeship.Students are supported all the way and learn important skills in line with industry standards, including: customer service; personal presentation; food safety; product knowledge and teamwork.

WHAT IS PÉTANQUE? It is a sport, where players toss steel balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a jack, while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground. It is played in over 130 countries and is one of the fastest growing sports.

WHY PLAY PÉTANQUE? Its rules are simple, learned within minutes. It’s inexpensive requiring no major equipment or clothing. It’s social, fun and a great challenge. It’s suitable for players with a range of abilities; you don't have to be fast, fit or strong. Individuals can choose to play purely for social fun or can go on to achieve Regional, National and even

International recognition if they put the time and energy into the sport.
