Tēnā koutou katoa – Greetings to you all
It was great to see all of our students return on Monday; excited to see each other, eager to share their holiday experi-ences and some who have clearly had a growth spurt, now able to pat their mother on the head.
Staff Changes This term we have some staff and organisational changes at school. Mrs Kerry Adams, our Deputy Principal, is now on medical leave for all of term 3. During the holidays we have been fortunate to be able to secure Mr Gareth Hitchcock to teach in Room 7 for this term or until Mrs Adams is given medical clearance to return. Parents and caregivers of Room 7 students have an opportunity to meet Mr Hitchcock and share where their child is with their learning at parent interviews on Monday 1st August. In Mrs Adams’ absence, Mrs Linda Clarke will be acting Deputy Principal, Mr Chris Rennie will be Acting Assistant Principal and hub leader for Kauri and Totara (Rooms 6,7, 8) and Miss Angelique Nielsen will be the hub leader for Rata (Rooms 4 & 5). If at any time you have any questions or concerns please contact your class teacher first, then the hub leader and finally me.
Parent Interviews for Year 4 - 8 students… whilst these are optional, we have probably only got another twelve weeks (8 weeks left in Term 3 and 4 weeks into Term 4) before we start making our final assessments for the year and gathering your child’s evidence to meet the National Standards in reading, writing and maths. Please take the time to accompany your child to their interview next Monday, 1st August. Please book your interview time by accessing the easy-to-use school interviews website, see below. If you need help booking your interviews please contact the school office as soon as possible on 823 6736. Remember if this time is unsuitable; please phone the office to make another time. Book via the website: www.schoolinterviews.co.nz Code: m8ypj
At the end of last term we farewelled 5 students. The Baker girls (who are moving to a school in West Auckland), Lachlan Roache (Taranaki) and Ryan Barker (Hamilton). Already this term we have welcomed Brooklyn and Jayde Tupaea from Perth, 2 new entrants, Lucas Wright and Blake Keesom and 4 new students Shayna, Cougar and Dhalilah Martin and Passion Heke from Crawshaw School. We extend a warm welcome to you all and look forward to getting to know you and your families during your time here at Ohaupo School. Principal’s news continued on page 2...
Kauri Hub:
Torben Clarke - for standing up for other students when they are not being treated fairly by other people. I make sure that people are treated fairly and I’m not afraid to stand up and say something.
Rata Hub:
Leo Stokes - for continually helping others with their learning in a friendly, caring way. I helped every-one in the class to get their work fin-ished by the end of the term.
Troy Downs - for being a problem solver when getting organised for his learning. I lost my pencil case but I looked all over the class until I found it in an empty tote tray.
Totara Hub:
Abbie Carmichael - for always being helpful and demonstrating to others how to be a good friend. When my friend was leaving I made her a card and everyone signed it. Also I ask people if they want to play with me.
Maeghan TaylorStill - for step-ping up and being a caring and supportive friend during fitness. My friend had a sore foot so I did the run for her.
Kowhai Hub:
Harry Vennard - for sharing and playing encouragingly with his friends during Morepork Time. I shared my tablet with my friends at Morepork time.
Leo Henderson - for supporting others during learning time. I helped my friends to learn their words.
Corrinne Crowley - for starting to ask others to play and learn with her. I am making new friends.
