This Club is a voluntary scheme and offers pupils at all levels a selection of popular book titles by popular authors in a paperback form at a basic cost. Brochures with an order form are sent home with the students - the brochure includes all ages. Orders are handed into the Office.
The school regularly cycles to near by places. Parents are encouraged to ensure their children are confident cyclists and have an adequate understanding of basic road rules before cycling to school.
Free school bus transport is available. Students qualify to catch buses to Motueka High School which connect with buses going to the outlying areas. If your child needs to catch a bus please inform the School Office.
In the event of your child's absence or early withdrawal from school, please notify the school by phone 03 528 7366, text 027 528 7366, or letter. A note is required if children must remain indoors all day or are unable to participate in Physical Education.
The school makes frequent use of local community facilities. We endeavor to provide our students with as many experiences as possible. School camps are taken at least once a year for our middle and senior classes. These range from one day to one week. Safety and educational value are paramount and all outdoor activities require BOT approval.
Every endeavour is made to trace the owners of property found in the school. Naming of all clothing is essential. A lost property box is in the technology room in the School block.
Our students health and safety is of upmost importance to us. Are school clear values are reflected in our school's behaviour management policy. Students and teachers work collaboratively to develop a plan to encourage good work habits, relationships and safety.
The utmost care is taken to prevent your child suffering an accident at school, but at times they are unavoidable. For this reason we like to keep an up-to-date record of telephone numbers where either parent can be contacted in the case of sickness or accident.
We also like to have the name of your family doctor for the same reason. It is also helpful to have the name and phone number of a relative or friend who can be contacted if neither of the parents are available. Please assist us in keeping our records as accurate as possible by informing us of any changes which may take place.
Parents are welcome to visit the school and discuss aspects of progress and development with the class teacher and/or Principal. We encourage regular liaison between home and school. Formal Assessment and Reporting to parents begins with goal setting in February and is followed up with pupil, parent and teacher conferences and a written report over the year.
We have a fantastic swimming pool. Daily lessons are taken in summer in the school pool.
Our school encourages parents to be actively involved in the school. This participation can take place in a variety of ways and can occur in classrooms, sports fields, library, school lunches, committees, attending mass,etc. Any involvement is greatly valued.
The Board Of Trustees conducts a formal self review annually and from this a strategic plan is prepared for the following year. There is community consultation prior to developing the strategic plan. This helps in setting goals and curriculum emphasis based on development requirements. In this way the School will continue to meet the national curriculum and education requirements.
