THIS WEEK’S MEMORY VERSE

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure. 

Philippians 2:14-15

 

 PRINCIPAL’S NOTICE

Tena koutou whanau ma – warm greetings to everyone.

Next week we are taking our Year 10 to 13 students to Auckland to visit the universities there. The trip heads to Auckland early on Friday morning 23rd August and returns the next day, having students arriving back at school at 7:00pm for pickup.

The event is in much the same format as previous Uni trips and we are pleased to see a greater uptake of further education opportunities being picked up by our students – already this year we have 3 students accepted into NZ universities next year.

Huge thanks to Jessica Atkins for coordinating the paperwork that you have been signing and sending back, and also for her mahi arranging opportunities for individual students on this trip. Thank you also to whanau who have already returned the necessary documentation.

There is a small number of students who are not able to or have elected not to attend this event – for these students it will be necessary for whanau to keep them at home because we have committed a significant number of staff to support on the trip, meaning no timetabled classes for Year 10 to 13 students on Friday 23rd.

Nga mihi maioha

RUGBY 1ST XV

The goal for this year is to build a solid foundation that will hold in years to come and winning is a bonus. We began with a game against Kaitaia, Taipa College combined which we played at Eastern Rugby Club. As a coaching staff, we were so proud of our defense only conceding one try and coming away 19-07 winners. Our second match was against Bay of Islands College. The goal was to improve ball retention and lessen mistakes by eighty percent. The boys embraced the challenge and we won at home 58-0. Our biggest challenge will be next week against Kerikeri High at Kerikeri and the boys are very excited about continuing to improve their game. Players that have stood out are Johnstone and Helam from NC, Mark, and Tumu from KCS, and Haare, Emanuera, Chilli, and JoJo from Te Kura. We value the support of whanau so if you are free next week please come and support the boys in Kerikeri.

He toa takitini to matou toa ehara I te toa takitahi-Our strength comes from many not just one.

WHAT ARE ATTENDANCE DUES?

The Ministry of Education does not fund building related costs at our School. Attendance Dues are only used to pay for building related costs. They can not be used for any other purposes.  Paying Attendance Dues is a condition of enrolment for all students attending our School. Attendance Dues are compulsory – there is a legal requirement for parents and caregivers to pay Attendance Dues under the Education and Training Act 2020. They are not a donation.
