NEWSLETTER No. 6 THURSDAY 30TH APRIL 2015 WELCOME
NEWSLETTER No. 6 THURSDAY 30TH APRIL 2015 WELCOME BACK TO TERM 2 Well this Term has started off with a hiss and a roar as we prepare for yet another busy Term. On top of our everyday learning programmes this Term, we will also have opportunities for Self Defence, ICAS tests, Year 6 visits, Interschool Hockey, Cross Country and Aerobics. All students will also participate in the Life Education and school swimming; both starting at the end of May. Mid-year reports and parent teacher interviews have been timetabled for the end of this Term. So, a busy Term all round. Please check the up and coming dates in each newsletter.

Our school choir sung a number of hymns and we were then addressed by a member of the Petone RSA, Mr Ray Farrell. Four of our students read the Ode and the poem Flanders Field before the Last Post was played followed by a minute’s silence. It was great to see parents and members of our wider community join in and share this special occasion with us. A special thank you to Dyer Street School and Stokes Valley Rest Home for attending. HOUSE CAPTAINS At last week’s assembly, two House Captains for each House were announced. This group of students had to first be nominated by their peers, and then deliver a speech to their House explaining why they should be chosen. Voting was then conducted and we are excited to announce to our community the following students who have been chosen as House Captains for 2015. Congratulations to: YELLOW HOUSE: Hosanna Aumua, Diamond Teariki-Tangohau ORANGE HOUSE: Wiremu Te Moananui, Penina Sitagata PURPLE HOUSE: Calais Hunt, Tyatiana Rakanui GREEN HOUSE: Debra Tupuse, Nesian Sydney Well done to these students. Mrs Pavihi will meet with this group of young leaders weekly to establish their roles and responsibilities within the school and also to organise and plan upcoming House competitions. Watch this space. SCHOOL PRODUCTION Preparation is well under way for our Production this year. Mrs Twomey, Mrs Uriaro and Mrs Pavihi spent much of last weekend (which was supposed to be a holiday) working on the script and organisation for the big event. Auditions have been held already for singing parts, this week we are auditioning for speaking roles and next week we will be auditioning for dancers. As we prepare for this, we would like to ask if any whanau have spare makeup they could donate to us; we would be very grateful. Donations can be dropped off at the school office. WHOLE SCHOOL SWIMMING You should have received a Panui (notice), yesterday explaining all you need to know about swimming that starts in Week 6 on Monday 25th May 2015. We need your support to ensure your child is prepared and organised for each swimming lesson and we would appreciate prompt payment also. If you did not receive a swimming notice, you can pick one up from the office. KIDSCAN NIT BUSTERS PROGRAMME This is available to all students attending Naenae Intermediate School. A clinic is operated at school by Pip, who provides free of charge hair checks and treatment if needed. She can be contacted for an appointment after 3.00 pm and she can also arrange to have your child treated at home if that helps. Call or text Pip on 021317780 for more information.
