2012 is looking like a fantastic year with many initiatives reaching fruition:
We are pleased with our students' positive response to our specialist Science teacher who is providing exciting learning opportunities each Thursday with classes, identified enrichment groups and our after school science class.
Our enrichment programme is implementing a range of intiatives to ensure that we meet our students' diverse abilities, interests and learning needs.
We continue with 6 small classes with no class larger than 22 pupils. The academic benefits that our pupils gained from this BOT funded initiative were outstanding in 2011 and is now one of the main identifying features of our school.
Some highlights to look forward to this year are:
Year 5/6 & Year 7/8 camps in term 3
Interchange for maths and reading
Science and art weeks
6 small classes
End of term celebration afternoons
Sports exchange with Papakaio School
Enrichment Programme
Year 4-8 leadership challenge (similar to Duke of Edinburgh & Queen’s Scout awards)
A school funded reading recovery teacher working with our pupils 3 afternoons a week
A year 8 financial literacy programme
Opportunities to participate in the ICAS English, Science & Mathematics assessments
Extra swimming coaching from PTA
A proud WAVE school
We have a very supportive community and our BOT & PTA support the running of the school effectively in the governance and fundraising roles respectively.
I look forward to being involved with you all over the coming year and if you think our school is for you and your child please feel free to contact myself and the staff at school.
