Dear Parents / Caregivers
Welcome back to Term 2
Thank you to those parents who have started this term promptly. The
confusion that the shortened holiday has caused has resulted in a large
number of absentees. If you know of families that have not yet
returned to school you might gently remind them that school has restarted
for the term.

School Fundraising
Telecom Education Foundation Sponsorship
This is our school’s main fundraising programme and brings into the school
approximately $20,000 a year. All money raised from the Telecom Education
Foundation goes towards purchasing ICT equipment, e.g. computers, printers,
scanners, digital cameras, video cameras, etc. This school fundraising
programme kicks off next Thursday. Students are asked to get sponsors. Details will be provided to all parents in a newsletter, which will outline
the fundraising project and prizes available to all students.
A reminder that this does not cost people who sponsor the school any money. Telecom pays the school. All students need to do is get sponsors from people
who use Telecom for their toll calls (private not business). Please support
your child to get sponsors as all money is used to purchase ICT equipment
for the school, which benefits all students. In the last twelve months we
have purchased eleven computers and monitors, one printer, upgraded our
network hubs to switches, renewed our subscription to School Zone (filtered
internet access), plus wireless network to one classroom at a cost of
$37,926.00 with other purchases planned for later in the year.
The Telecom fundraising project will start on Thursday, 4 May. Students will
be given information to bring home next week.

Student Success
Tokoroa Intermediate student, Jessica Ria was part of the
successful Tainui Waikato U13 Netball representative team which won the 19th
Annual Aotearoa Maori Netball National title during the Easter Weekend
tournament held at Whakatane. Jessica, an all round active
sportsperson in Touch Rugby, Swimming, Athletics, Cross Country and Hockey,
plays Saturday netball for the Tokoroa Intermediate School Form 2A team and
has been a representative player for Year 6 and Year 7 in the Tokoroa
Netball reps. The U13 team, coached by Jan Coffin, won all nine games
they played. This was Jessica’s 1st National Netball Tournament and
was certainly a good experience as the other provincial teams participating
came from throughout New Zealand from Te Tai Tokerau (Northland) down to Te
Waipounamu (Christchurch, Southland and Invercargill).
