Do you have rules in your family around technology?
RESPECT - SERVICE 340 Rattray Street, Dunedin Telephone (03) 477 3408 JUSTICE Issue 20/13 - TRUTH email: [email protected] Website: www.kavanagh.school.nz Rāpare Hōngongoi 4 2013 Whakanuia Te Wiki o te Reo Māori Do you have rules in your family around technology? Celebrate Māori Language Week Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2013 Māori Language Week is Monday, 1st July to Sunday, 7th July. Some suggestions are – all cell phones are kept in a box after 8.30pm ► No technology in bedrooms – no laptops, phones, tablets etc after an agreed time ► Check your young person’s pages, the history of searches on your computer ► Take devices off young people ► Check the phone is the one they use, not an old one or one they don’t use ► Lots of students text late at night, it may not be your child but others will try to contact them ► If they use social network sites like facebook, ask.fm or tumblr, they are likely to get notifications through the night ► If your young person’s device is Wi-Fi only, then you can disable your broadband – by turning off your airport or your wireless router. If you want help with this contact your internet provider or the school If you have any other suggestions – please contact the school. ► Arohatia te Reo is the theme for Māori Language Week, which means to cherish the language. In recent days we have become aware of a new social media website ‘ask.fm’. We suggest you have a discussion at home about this website. As a school community we would prefer students did not use this site but this is how NETSAFE recommend students keep safe How can I stay safe on ask.fm? We recommend that all young people prevent anonymous questions being posted. This can be done by pressing “Settings” – “Privacy” and choosing “Do not allow anonymous questions”. Ask.fm staff have informed us that it is also possible to block a person harassing you, once you get another question from them. This can be done by pressing “block” next to each question. PRIVACY- taken from http://ask.fm/about/privacy with underline emphasis added “Your replies are publicly viewable data. Your replies to questions submitted via ask.fm will be published to other websites. You are responsible for what gets published. Whatever you enter into the ask.fm reply box will be published and could be publicly viewable immediately upon your clicking the submit button”. “Snapshot Cards” will be sent home with all students in Years 7-10 tomorrow, Friday 5 July. Students who receive a red card must have it signed by a parent and returned on Monday. Senior students will receive their cards by email. We have become concerned at the number of students who have appointments during school time but have no parental permission to be released. KAVANAGH COLLEGE ENVIROGROUP Kavanagh College Envirogroup is asking for your help. Do you have any old paint you’d like to get rid of? They would gladly welcome any donations of any colour for a variety of projects. If your child has an appointment during school time we require you to let us know. You can either phone, write a note or sign your student's appointment card. If no parental permission is given they will be marked as having an unexplained absence. Please leave any paint in the main office, or email [email protected]. Thank you for your help in this matter. 2012 NCEA Exam Fees Years 7 & 8 Social Payment of NCEA fees is due by Friday 16 August 2013. The social last week was most successful with a bumper turnout.

Open Day Sunday 11 August, 2.00pm Kavanagh College Auditorium (entrance off Tennyson St) Goal Setting with Tamati Ellison Last Wednesday we were lucky to have All Black and Highlander Tamati Ellison come to the school and speak to a group of our students about goal setting. Tamati talked the students through his eight step goal setting structure. ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► See yourself as that person now Set grand dream goals Find out what the first step to take is Take action now Listen and learn Test and measure Network Follow through Another great point that Tamati made was his 7, 50 and 98 rule. If you just listen you might learn and remember 7% of the content. If you listen and write down you might learn and remember 50% of the content. If you listen and write down as well as interact (ask questions, discuss etc) you might learn 98% of the content. Some valuable life lessons for our students. Year 7 & 8 Hockey The Year 7 & 8 Hockey team continued on their winning way over the last fortnight with victories over East Otago High School and Strath Taieri, two traditionally strong hockey teams. Goal scorers over the two matches were Nick Parata, Ellery Campbell, Tom McCallion and Niall Quinn. Niall distinguished himself against Strath Taieri with a well taken hat-trick. Congratulations to Mikayla Scott who competed for the Greater Green Island Rhythmic Gymnastics Club at the Otago Championships last weekend. Mikayla was third overall in individuals and won the Otago Trophy. Her Grade 4 Group were third overall. Coaches Gemma O’Connell and Aaron Fahey continue to work hard with this promising group of young sports people. Tomorrows game is the final one before the holidays. Good Luck!
