Jarad's Jargon

Big thanks to those parents who attended our Meet 'n Greet last night.  This term has been a busy one for events and meetings at the school, with our parent interviews, swimming sports (both at school and at Opunake), athletics and as well as class trips.  I cannot emphasise the impact your involvement in these events helps positively influence student motivation and achievement in school.  This is not only important with attending events, but also with conversations happening at home about what they are learning at school.  Students who have that support from home often transfer that enthusiasm into the classroom.

A reminder to everyone that there are two teacher only days coming up early in term 2, 12th and 13th of May.  We are going to Auckland with Auroa and Opunake to look at other high performing schools so, as a staff, we are kept informed of current "best practices" in the classrooms.  School will be closed for these dates.

Due to changes with bus pick-ups, the times the bus will leave Kapuni are 8:40am and 3:40pm.  Can you please ensure you are there at least five minutes before this time.  We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Have a great weekend everyone,
MrC

We won the battle, but lost the war!!!  Well done parents for beating the staff in our swimming relay...again...this year.  Big thanks to Ethan who managed to capture this moment where greased lightning on the left managed to hold out the students by a whisker!
