‘He waka
eke noa’
We are
all in this waka together
Dear Students, Whanau
and Parents
Kia ora and welcome back to
school after a lovely term break.
What’s on this Term:
Pet Week – Week 1
We are building up to Pet
Day on Friday the 16th of October.
All students are expected to participate by bringing along a pet on
Friday. If you cannot bring along a pet,
there will be lots of other ‘pet’ related activities for you to do. Students who have made arrangements to go
after prize giving or have whanau at Pet Day can leave after prize giving. See
you all here.
Weeks 2 – 8
After Pet Week our term
focus will be the Arts. Our team will
look at a Christmas theme as we are organising the Christmas Float Parade on
the 28th of November, followed by a presentation to all whanau in
Week 8. Since we are responsible for the
float this year, any help you can give us will be appreciated.
EOTC and Events
Powell Hut Year 8’s now

Year 8’s ‘Moving On’ Conference

Buddy
Classes
Room 12 and 14 are continuing together to be buddy classes with
Room 2 and Room 3, [The Hub]. We call these
sessions ‘ Tuakana/Teina’ (Big kids helping little kids). We read, write
and develop friendships with our buddies every Friday before lunch for about 20
minutes. This helps our older students
develop leadership skills and gives the younger children great role models and
a sense of belonging.
Technology at Makoura College - Designcraft
Year 7 and 8 students have had a very successful 3 terms with Technology
sessions at Makoura College in Masterton. They will continue every Tuesday,
during the morning session beginning in Week 1. The Technology sessions at
Makoura cost $76 for the year and a huge thanks to those of you who have
already paid this. Could we please have
any outstanding money paid as soon as you can? This fee can be paid to
the office or by automatic payment. Please be aware that students are
required to wear covered shoes at Technology for safety reasons and any long
hair must be tied back. If they do not have the suitable footwear, they are not
permitted to attend the session and will remain at school. Mrs
MacGregor and I have spoken to the students about these points and we trust
they will take responsibility for themselves.
Homework,
Communications to whanau and Internet use
Homework will continue to be given every week on Tuesday and be
expected to be returned by Monday / Tuesday the following week. Your child has
a communications book or a folder that will be brought home regularly with
information from school to home. Please
remind your child to keep you informed of what is happening at school plus
anything else you need to know about.
All homework has been shared on Google docs for those who use the
internet at home; otherwise I will continue to give out hard copies each
week.
If you would rather any information / school newsletters etc be
emailed directly to you – let us know and we will be happy to do this for you.
Please remember to download our school app as this has the school newsletters
and any up to date information plus alerts sent out on a regular basis.
We will continue to work on Google docs again this term and you
will be able to access your child’s work from home plus they all have a Study
Ladder password to use at home as well. All
students also have a “Maths Buddy’ password until the end of this year.
Class
Blog
Please visit our blog and comment on what you are seeing. The blog will keep you up to date every week on
what’s happening in our class and team, plus any important dates etc. Our blog address is http://room14cartertonschool2015.blogspot.co.nz/. If
you need to drop me a line my email is lkennedy@carterton.school.nz. Also feel free to pop in at any time.
A
reminder to all Year 8 parents and whanau
The Colleges have sent out information
regarding enrolments for 2016 and some students do not appear to be enrolled at any of the local
colleges. If you are still undecided, I
would suggest you go and have another look at what each college has to
offer. If you have decided, then I would
suggest you enrol as soon as possible so we can pass on any relevant
information for placing next year.
If you need any other information or want to catch up this term,
just let me know or email me. I will
continue to send out a note at the beginning of each week letting you know what
is happening for the week so keep an eye out for this each Monday.
Regards
Lesley Kennedy
There
will be ‘Pack Day’ on Monday.
Kind
regards to all Whanau
