MAPATHON 2016
Just a reminder that term three marks the start of our
annual school fundraiser. The Factathon this year
has a geography theme and is appropriately called
the Mapathon.
This is a Friends of CBS fundraiser that has the potential to bring in over
$20,000 for the school. This year the money will go directly to funding the
school’s hall refurbishment. If every child raises only $25.00 we will exceed our
target this year.
On the first day back of next term expect to receive three notices 1. Mapathon instructions
2. Sponsorship recording form
3. Your child’s questions
AN IMPORTANT NOTICE RE THE
TIQBIZ UPGRADE WENT HOME
ON FRIDAY LAST WEEK. IF YOU
HAVE NOT SEEN IT PLEASE

Mathlete of the Week
Congratulations to Edison Yang from Year 6 Blue.
You are the Mathlete of the Week!
The Mathlete of the Week is the top student in the school who
has mastered the most concepts in Mathletics.
Library Books
Please could you ensure your children return any overdue library books before
the end of term.
This would be a good opportunity to get some books for holiday reading too.
Jammies in June (and July!) Mufti Day
On Wednesday 6 July Campbells Bay School is having a Pyjama Mufti Day.
This is to promote ’Jammies in June/July’.
On Wednesday, children can wear their pyjamas to school (!) if they bring a
new pair of flannelette pyjamas or a
($2) gold coin donation.
Please note: It is not compulsory to
wear pyjamas!
These will be donated to the
Middlemore Foundation so they can
donate the pyjamas to those children
who need them to help keep them cozy
warm in winter.
Thank you for supporting our ‘Not Self
But Service’ venture.
Sandra Stott
Not Self But Service Coordinator for CBS
Muddy Clothes
As the wet weather continues,
please remember to put a spare
set of school uniform in your
child’s bag. The office has
limited spares they can change
children in to if they happen to
slip in the mud!
Term Two Dates
Please note the school is closed
on the following date this term:
Friday 8 July: Teacher Only
Day.
We are having a professional
development day at CBS with
staff from Milford School and
Mairangi Bay School also
attending.
Please note we will still be
working the required number of
school days this year! It just
means we work a little longer in
December. Hence, the term
finishes for students
on Thursday 7 July.
Absences
If your child is going to be absent
please let the school office know
either by emailing
safetycheck@campbellsbay. school.nz
or by using the Tiqbiz app.
For extended holidays please
email John McGowan for approval
on:
[email protected]
[email protected]
This is a Ministry of Education
requirement.
Please do not just email class
teachers.
Given the time of year, it is really
important to let the office know if
your child is going to be absent.
Given the size of the school it is
very time consuming to phone
each parent who has forgotten!

Bus Bay Closed on Thursday and Principal Rides the Morning 042 Bus
The student Travelwise team has announced the closure of the Bus Bay on Thursday morning in
attempt to get more students walking to school or, at least, walking part of the way to school having
been dropped off in a legal and safe manner away from the school.
To encourage the use of the morning 042 to get to school I will be on the bus on Thursday from the start of the bus route
opposite the Milford Marina to school. Details of the bus route can be seen below. John McGowan.

Welcome Back Mr Millward
Duncan Millward, deputy principal at CBS until 2013, made a very welcome visit to the school on Friday. Now a deputy
principal at the European International School in Taipei, Duncan and his family are spending their summer holiday with
family and friends in Auckland before returning to Taipei to commence the new school year. Duncan reported the family
are in fine spirits and are enjoying the international school lifestyle while still planning to return to Auckland.
Rangitoto College
Prime Minister’s Supreme Award for Governance went to..................................
the Board of Trustees at Rangitoto College at the recent Prime Ministers’ Education Awards presented on 13 June at a
ceremony held at the Auckland Museum.
Our connection with the Rangitoto College Board is very real as Chris Davis, (second from right) the recent chairperson of
the Rangitoto Board, was also a chairperson of the Campbells Bay School Board of Trustees. I guess you could say, he
shared at Rangitoto what he learned at CBS!
Who wears it better??
Just a little light humour in the school office on a cold and miserable day! We wondered if Elton John had made a
surprise visit – maybe not!!

Education Out Of School
A parent of CBS has written a thoughtful piece for a conservation blog site and, having read it, I think it deserves
publication as part of our newsletter. The link to the article is below.
The narrative reminds readers that education happens in and out of school and ‘creating passion in children’ is an
essential role for every person involved with children. The article is a timely reminder that parents/whanau/friends all have
an incredibly important role to play in the education of our children and while school has an essential role to play we
should never forget the fantastic opportunities children have to learn out of school. While the article gives the example of
actually swimming with whale sharks, rather than simply reading about them or viewing them on videos, there are
limitless opportunities for learning opportunities to happen out of school. This can be as simple as splashing along in
puddles, something that is easy to do at this time of the year, while talking about the science that lies behind why the
water is being displaced to talking about anything at all.
Later in the year as part of Book Week we hope to have a father and daughter team come to speak about the books and
videos about swimming with marine life along our coast line.
As a school, we endorse and embrace parents/whanau making the most of learning opportunities. If this involves time
away from school please email me in advance so the absence can be recorded for our safety check programme.

National Qualifying Rippa Rugby Tournament
On Wednesday 22 June CBS took part in the National Qualifying Rippa Rugby Tournament at Windsor Park. Teams
comprised of five girls and five boys from years five and six. Twenty-six schools from Devonport to Helensville and as far
as Warkworth were competing for the grand prize of top school, who win an all-expenses paid trip to Wellington to
represent North Harbour at the National Rippa Rugby Tournament.
Our team of ten players fought hard against some very talented and competitive teams, in torrential rain at
times, to finish top of their pool. The team then advanced to the knock out rounds playing defending champions Willow
Park in the quarter finals. CBS was 3-2 down at half time. The team focused hard on playing as a team and put in every
ounce of effort, managing to take out the win 4-3 to move into the semi-final round. In the semi-final round we came up
against St Josephs but were beaten 3-1. St Josephs went on to end the day as overall winners.
This is the first time ever that a CBS team has made it out of pool play and into the play offs. Congratulations to Toby
Douglas, Mairav Rajput, Cameron Maunder, James Charlesworth, Xavier Gordon, Ruby Luxton, Danielle Pattimore,
Sienna Rugg, Charlie Twose and Jessie Jamieson for the 100% effort, amazing team work and positive attitude that they
brought to the day. You did your school proud.
Thank you to everyone who came out in the less than ideal weather conditions to support the team.
Treasurer Needed for Lake Pupuke Waterwise
The Lake Pupuke Waterwise needs a committee member who will take the role of treasurer. There are approximately four
committee meetings per year, the club is in good financial health and is not only very well run but also provides a
wonderful opportunity to help teach children basic seamanship skills. There are only 5-10 transactions a month, the
majority of which are by automatic bank payment and so requires only elementary book-keeping skills as the processes
are well set up. The outgoing treasurer will be happy to provide a good handover until you are up and running.
If you are interested please email Sheryl Rogers on [email protected]
Campbells Bay Students Shine at North Island Synchro Champs

Burmeister who competed at the North Island Synchronised Swimming Championships held in Auckland this weekend.
Georgia was placed 2nd overall in the Dolphin Figures event
Georgia and Maria’s team won silver in the Dolphin Team event
Vanessa’s team won Gold in the 12U Team Event.
