Kia ora whanau,

Welcome back to Term 2,

To those who have lost loved ones of late, our sincere condolences go out to you all. Congratulations to our senior girls and boys Tag teams who came third and second in the Far North Schools Tag Day.

Our term has begun on a very positive note, with students engaging well. On the horizon, 5 students have been chosen from our Year 7-8 class to design patterns to put on stone for the entrance to our new library.

Tonight, our senior netball team will begin the grading rounds for this year.

Next Wednesday, the Kotahitanga Girls rugby team, which is made up of NC, TE KURA, and KCS students, will begin their campaign.

Next Thursday, our year 7-8 7’s Rugby Team will be playing here in Kaikohe.

Next week, our Year 13 students will be doing work experience in Kaikohe.

Daizaleah Marupo will be doing work experience at Petersen’s Garage as a mechanic, and Ethel Hapeta Kemp will be doing work experience at a local law firm.

Next Wednesday, our photography class will be going to Korerareka (Russell) to visit historical sights and collect visual photographic evidence.

Our Year 9 and 10 students have completed sessions with Climate Club Aotearoa; therefore, they are now developing projects that could,

•  Reduce the school’s electricity bill (by installing solar panels)
•  decrease car emissions ( by purchasing bikes, e-bikes, scooters, e-scooters)
•  Grow vegetables locally (on school grounds – successfully done by Komene and students last year) 
• Grow and plant native trees ( to absorb carbon dioxide)
• Set up a rubbish recycling system for each classroom (to reduce the amount of general rubbish)

Students will be learning how to approach the councils and other suggested organizations to get help with resources and funds.

Students are also encouraged to seek support by talking to other teachers, the principal, the office ladies, and the groundskeeper.

 Ahakoa he iti te matakahi Ka pakarukaru te totara. Although the wedge is small, it will split the totara. We may be small in numbers, but we shall overcome our foes.

Mauriora
