MAI HAERE MAI
We
have had four new pupils start, Jasmine Tawhiti (younger sister of Stanley),
Sahara, Watson-Tipoki, Aria Lawton (younger sister of Kahuranaki) and Harmony
Hempel. We hope they all enjoy their
stay.
BEHAVIOUR NIGHT
On
Monday 5.30 - 6.30pm we will be holding a session on behaviour. The teachers will share some advice with you
about how you can help us to improve behaviour in the school. At the end of the session at approximately
6pm, we will provide everyone with pudding.
Children have been encouraged to come in their pyjamas. They will watch a movie until the session is
over. We hope to have a big turnout.

SUPPORTER

Thank
you to Kirsty Falwasser for volunteering to look after the basketball team last
Thursday when the coach was going to be tied up with the speech finals.
SCHOOL
UNIFORMS
We
have a considerable amount of lost property in the Hall, please check that you
are not missing items. Also, please
ensure that all items are named, including shoes.
ATTENDANCE
AT SCHOOL
We
have noticed some children arriving late to school. A reminder that school starts at 8.55am. It is really important that your child is
here on time as continual lateness effects their learning. Please try really hard to get your children
to school on time.

THE
EDUCATION REVIEW REPORT (ERO)
Last
year the Education review Office sent a team of three to evaluate our
school. They produced a report in
December 2009 with areas of progress and three recommendations. For those of you that have not seen the
report I have decided to add excerpts in the next few newsletters. You can see the full report online at www.ero.govt.nz or
a copy is available from the office.
What
ERO said about school community partnership,
Senior
managers and teachers collect and analyse student information and develop
initiatives to encourage positive behaviour.
Senior students respond to issues that arise in the playground through
peer mediation. Teachers regularly
review behaviour management information, adapting strategies, designing and
modifying programmes to encourage purposeful participation and engagement. Positive student behaviour is affirmed and
celebrated. Observation through teacher
appraisal offers advice and guidance on effective classroom behaviour
management strategies. Implemented
initiatives successfully support students’ ability to manage and take
responsibility for their own behavior.
