“I Can Do It!”
Kia ora everyone, and welcome back.
I filled in our whiteboard calendar over the holidays and I
couldn’t believe just how busy the BoT, Home and School
Association, staff and students are going to be over the
term. This makes for a very exciting last term, but sad too,
as it means that at the end we farewell a large number of
our school population – 17 Year 8’s will be off to
Secondary School.
On Tuesday the Home and School met to nut out final
preparations for Pet Day, which is scheduled for Friday 31st
October. I would like to take this opportunity to again
acknowledge the awesome
efforts of this
hardworking group of
parents.
Tomorrow the whole
school will be walking
down to the Eketahuna
Rugby Club to play the
role of Hurricanes
Supporters for a
promotional “shoot” being
done by Super Rugby
publicists. Can I ask for
parents/caregivers to
“decorate” the kids in yellow and black and allow them
to bring along flags etc., if they have them, so that
we look the part. This is all in aid of the big game
between the ‘Canes and the Crusaders in Eketahuna
at the end of January next year. If you don’t have
this kind of stuff that’s all good as everyone will still
get to take part and meet some Hurricanes players as
well. Woohoo!
On Wednesday we had our first visit from Jets basketball
player Miles Pearce, who took each class for basketball
skills in the morning and then our Term 3 Friday BBall
teams as well as some “prospects” for the afternoon. The
big man is a natural working with kids and had them in the
palm of his hand throughout the day. Thanks to Mrs.
McDowall who organized this and also played the role as
taxi driver for him. We look forward to more sessions to
come this term.
The next five school days are flat out with a visit on
Friday from the Ministry of Education Property Manager
and Darryl Silverwood our school architect, as we sit down
A L B E R T S T. ,
E K E TA H U N A
to sort out the Room 5
and 6 renovations. I am in
Diary
Palmerston North on
See over page
Monday to do various jobs
for the school, as well as
picking up our new Honours Board (thanks Home and
School Association again).
On Tuesday we are sending some Year 8 students to
Tararua College for a transition visit and on Tuesday and
Wednesday Mrs. McDowall will be attending a professional
development course on making the best use of iPads.
On Wednesday the BoT will meet to look at the School
Charter, Strategic and Annual Plans and Coach Miles
Pearce will be out again for basketball.
The school photographers will be here again on Thursday
to take a whole school photo, Kapahaka and Hockey photos
and at staff meeting our “Learning with Digital
Technologies”
facilitator will be
present to
continue her
professional
development with
staff.
Finally on Friday
I will be at the
Bush Schools
Principals
meeting in
Pahiatua where
we will put
together next year’s events calendar for the cluster
schools and discuss current issues. On Saturday and
Sunday it’s the weekend!
University is my focus for this part of the newsletter,
courtesy of the Grapevine magazine so here goes:You might be a University student if...
• You live in a house with 3 couches, none of which match.
• You consider a McDonald’s cheeseburger a balanced meal.
• You’ve ever seen two consecutive sunrises without
sleeping.
• Your underwear supply dictates when it’s time to do the
washing.
•
•
•
•
You can pack your worldly possessions into the back of a ute.
You average less than 3 hours sleep a night.
Your idea of “doing your hair” is putting on a baseball cap.
You celebrate when you find 50c
Enjoy the weekend
Go the All Blacks!
