NZCT AIMS GAMES 2012

A warm welcome to the Tauranga Intermediate School Community to the 9th NZCT AIMS GAMES 2012.

We regret that this year we have had to charge to get in and then some of you wonʼt make it into the main auditorium. Unfortunately we are constrained by fire regulations and we must keep to these.

Despite this Tauranga Intermediate students will take a major part in the Opening Ceremony as follows:

Marlique Emery " Tauranga Intermediate School" " Singing National AnthemGeorge Hiku" " Tauranga Intermediate School" " Singing National AnthemMahe Drysdale" Tauranga Intermediate School 1991/1992" Guest SpeakerChase Douglas" Tauranga Intermediate School 2003/2004" Performing as Bruno " " " " " " " " " Mars and Rhys Mastin

We hope you can come along and join the fun of the Opening Ceremony and we wish our 250 strong team our very best wishes for a very successful 9th NZCT AIMS GAMES.

Information for parents /caregivers TRANSFERRING YEAR 8 STUDENTS TO A CONTRACTING DENTIST

During Year 8 students complete treatment with the Community Dental Service. At this time they will be asked if they know the name of the dentist they will transfer to for ongoing FREE

basic care, until they turn 18.

Using this FREE service ensures that they enter adulthood with a bright healthy smile, which

may reduce the need for expensive dental care once turning 18.

PLEASE...

Advise your child the name of your family dentist you wish them to attend

or

If you are unsure of the dentist you wish to use, please refer to website below for a list to choose from.

There is information available about this and other oral health services on http://

TAURANGA INTERMEDIATE TEACHER RELEASES SCORCHING YOUNG ADULT NOVEL . . .

Check out the video trailer: http:/www.youtube.com/watch?v=Verie4fH6UA&feature=youtu.beRead a free chapter: www.throughangelseyes.yolasite.com/Get your signed copy for $29.95 $25.00 and $5.00 will be donated to the TIS 12 Hour Relay.Simply email: [email protected] with TIS in the subject line.

50 years ago the scourge of racism was stifling the development of millions of children in America. In 1963, a core group of these courageous young people stood up and said, “Enough!” The story of these child marchers imparts vital lessons that the 21st century child desperately needs to learn from - courage, resistance to peer pressure, empathy, non-violence and conviction.Through Angel’s Eyes brings the story of the 1963 Alabama child marches to life through the eyes of Angel Dunbar - and in Angel we finally have a role model for our times!
