Computers For Sale

There are computers for sale for           school use only. Please enquire         with Whaea Mina.   

We do expect all our students to have their own                   computers in order for them to access their school                 work and so that they can do their work of course.  This does not take away from the fact that we do                     teach reading and how to write but using digital                 technologies is becoming more and more an             important part of schools these days.   

      

School uniform must continue to be adhered to for class learning.   

 NO correct PE gear means you cannot participate in any sport /training or classes.

  Tiakina Te Taiao -       Tiakina Te Iwi  Kia ora e te whanau, nga mihi mahana ki a                   

koutou katoa. As I have mentioned before one of                 

our initiatives in Papa Taiao is to locate and                 

restore Inanga back into our waterways for our               

future generations. We were at Waireia farm             

and investigated one of the streams to see if we                   

could find any signs of a wedge there that might                   

support Inanga spawning and yes whanau, we             

located a probable wedge area that we are going                 

to keep an eye on. The tamariki recorded plant                 

life and conditions of the location and now we                 

have some data to help us before spawning time                 

in late May. 

 

Tino pai tenei momo mahi hei whakamana i te                 

mohiotanga o nga tauira, hei whakanui i te               

tirohanga hoki mo te waa kei te heke tonu mai. 

   

No reira e te whanau, mehemea kei a koe he                   

korero hei tautoko i tenei kaupapa, korero mai ki                 

to tamaiti ki a matou raanei, kia taea ai e tatou te

Ka pai, ma te waa whanau.

Our Students against dangerous driving representatives for             2017 are Ngawaka Makaua, Deisharn Dunn and Kiani               Tatana-Murray. They were involved in a planning day last                 Thursday with Hayley Paul, from Hauora Hokianga and other                 individuals that support     the kaupapa. 

SADD empowers young people to make safer and better choices on the road by focusing on six key 

issues :

❖ Sober drivers 

❖ Safe speeds ❖ No distractions ❖ Avoiding risks ❖ Driving to the conditions ❖ Building experience 

Our reps and kura paerangi students were involved in filming within Panguru and kura for                             promotional material to increase the awareness of SADD principles and kaupapa.   

  Our Kura Paerangi students participated in a RYDA               (Road safety organisation) with other students           within Te Taitokerau and exposed them to workshops               on how to identify hazards, rights and             responsibilities and other important workshops.   The majority of our Years 12 and 13 students have                   

their Learner's Licence and will be making appointments for their restricted                     drivers licence over the year.  

The learning objectives for students attending RYDA are:
