Thank you to all those parents, grandparents, guardians and friends of the
school who helped support the students during Athletics Day.
One aspect we all need to be more considerate of is to ensure that our
students use the sunblock that is in every classroom and to encourage more
of our students to wear hats. This applies to every lunchtime as well
as school events.
Change of Date for Waikato Intermediate Schools' Athletics Sports
The Waikato Intermediate School Athletic Sports have now changed to Tuesday, 5th December, not Tuesday 28th November as recorded on our Term 4 Calendar.
Kapa Haka & Polynesian Groups
Good luck to all our students in Kapa Haka and the Polynesian Group for their Polyfest performance on Saturday. My thanks to all the tutors for the many hours spent working with these students.
Jump Jam
Jump Jam Group – we have a small group of girls who have been practising for many months to compete in regional Jump Jam competitions in Rotorua. Good Luck!
Scholarship
Congratulations to Kahleigh Ahomiro on winning a scholarship based on exam results for Turakina Maori Girls’ College 2007.
Life Education
We
have been lucky to have the Life Education caravan visit our school over
recent weeks. Each class will have completed three visits to discuss
very important aspects of health education and hopefully you will have taken
the time to discuss these with your child. The Year 8 programme
entitled “From the Shadows” dealt with the affects of drugs and alcohol on
the developing adolescent and the Year 7 programme entitled “Making Choices”
was a lead in to the Year 8 programme.
We would like to thank the Life Education Trust for their work in providing
this programme and in particular our Life Education teacher, Shelly who has
fitted into Tokoroa Intermediate School and worked hard to help our
students.
