Dear Parents / Caregivers
Last Thursday the staff and Board had the opportunity to listen to Celia Lashlie speak about the role of teachers in boys’ education. Celia spoke from her experience as a Prison Officer, Prison Manager, Head of Special Education Services and now as a part of the ‘Good Man’ project that she runs with Norm Hewitt. This was an extremely valuable two hours with many good ideas and suggestions for staff to consider. We have been offered the opportunity to be part of this project in 2007 and will receive a two day visit from Celia and Norm to work with our school community (students, parents and staff).
Early School Finish
Next Thursday, 2nd November school will finish at 12:10 p.m. to allow staff to attend an NZEI meeting. We will arrange for bus students that are unable to be collected to be supervised for the afternoon.
Life Education
The
Life Education caravan is here for four weeks. All Year 7 and 8
students will be provided with instruction and skills to enable them to make
healthy choices about how they resist peer pressure on a number of fronts.
The Year 8 programme entitled “From the Shadows” deals with the affects of
drugs and alcohol on the developing adolescent. The Year 7 programme
entitled “Making Choices” is a lead in for the Year 8 programme.
Blind Week Collection
As mentioned in last week’s newsletter, next Monday 30th October is the annual Blind Week Collection. This collection is the one collection that our school supports by asking for student volunteers to assist with the actual collection. The student volunteers will be supported by members of the local Lions Club and members of Forest View High School and Tokoroa Intermediate School staff. A newsletter has been sent home to those students who would like to assist with this collection.
