Reminder - Yr 7 and New Yr 8 Learning Discussions - Thursday 3 April
This Thursday, April 3 we will be holding learning discussions, probably called parent interviews when we went to school, for our Year 7 students and all new Year 8 students. You are invited to a fifteen-minute three-way student, caregiver, parent and teacher learning discussion to discuss the start of year assessment and set some goals for 2025. We hope to catch up with all whanau at this time.
If you haven't already done so, please ensure you do so by 7pm tonight, when bookings close.
If you can't come on this night please email the homeroom teacher to make another time.
Reminder - DNI School Cross Country Friday 4 April (postponement date Friday 11 April)
The first DNI school cross country will be held this Friday, 4 April (postponement date Friday 11 April) at the Botanical Gardens. There will be a second cross country in Term 3. The reason we hold two is to encourage goal setting and personal challenge, rather than being focussed solely on competition. Students have been training hard during fitness time and we encourage everyone to participate and achieve their personal best. They will then set goals, and learn about how to plan to meet a goal, around bettering their personal effort (for instance whether that being coming second instead of third, or running more than they walk).
As this is a whole school event, and there are options around walking rather than running, we expect that all students present at school will participate. There will be a few students with injuries who can not walk the course, and they should have a note from home in advance.
Students are expected to wear their full PE uniform with sneakers. Students will also need their DNI polar fleece or plain black jacket, water bottle, and any medication (especially inhalers) they need.
On the day, we walk across to the Botanical Gardens, leaving school at 11.25am and will return to school after the final race. Parents are welcome to come and watch.
